The Queen’s Christmas Message (1957)
To watch video click on picture
Couldn’t resist this. The British Royal family have opened a website on YouTube. There is lots of interesting stuff that I might use in future lessons. But for today, there is a video of the Queen’s 1957 Christmas message. This is suitable for advanced speakers of English, although some intermediate speakers may find it useful as the language is slow and clear. I will include a link to the 2007 Christmas message as soon as it’s up. It will be interesting to compare any differences in language – as well as historical realities – for then (1957) and now, fifty years later.
Enjoy!
