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
_______________ 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!
