Songs

I always recommend music to learn English. Listen to this poweful song about poverty and misery in a big city.

But sometimes, a sad song can turn into a hilarious one.

Attention: do not try to imitate it!

Bingo!
Just by chance, this song is the soundtrack of 3º C and 3ºD.
Listen up and enjoy!

I Still Haven`t Found What I`m Looking For (by U2)

First, give the Past Participle of each verb:

climb - ______________​run - _______________​crawl - ________________
scale - ______________​find - _______________​kiss - _________________
feel - _______________​speak - ______________​hold - _________________

Now, listen to the song and fill in the lyrics.

I ______________ the highest mountains I __________________ through the fields Only to be with you Only to be with you I have run, I ______________________ I ___________________ these city walls These city walls Only to be with you But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for I ______________________ honey lips _____________ the healing fingertips It burned like fire This burning desire

I ___________ with the tongue of angels I _______________ the hand of the devil It was warm in the night I was cold as a stone But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for I believe in the Kingdom Come Then all the colours will bleed into one Bleed into one But yes ___________________________ You broke the bonds And you loosed the chains Carried the cross and All my shame, all my shame You know I ___________________ it

In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Bono said the song was "an anthem of doubt more than faith."

This is one of many spiritual songs by U2. This one makes obvious references to Jesus Christ: "I believe in the kingdom... you broke the bonds and you loosed the chains" he is talking about salvation but he still hasn't found what he is looking for.

The need for more out of life leaves him feeling disappointed and disillusioned with regard to his faith.

This setback leaves him feeling confused but instead of getting back onto the road towards a better faith, another disappointment occurs and he feels like he would rather just give up.

What really comes across from the lyrics of this song is the feeling of doubt and how the singer is desperate to overcome it.

Animal Sounds

I watched this kiddies video with my Bachillerato students to make them see rhe way different languages interpret sounds. Surprisingly for me, not only did they like the video, but they also asked to watch it again and sing it!
It was a wonderful moment.
Here it is to enjoy it all over again!
