Maya Angelous

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own backyard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

The Times They are a Changing      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hD37WWo27M

Gather around people

Wherever you roam

And admit that the waters

Around you have grown

And accept it that soon

You'll be drenched to the bone

If your time to you

Is worth saving

Then you better start swimming

Or you'll sink like a stone

For the times they are a-changing

Come writers and critics

Who prophesize with your pen

Keep your eyes wide

The chance won't come again

Don't speak too soon

For the wheel's still in spin

And there is no telling who

That it's naming

For the loser now

Will be later to win

For the times they, they are a-changin'

Come senators, Congressmen

Please heed the call

Don't stand at the doorway

Don't block up the hall

For he that gets hurt

Will be he who has stalled

There's a battle outside

And it's raging

It'll soon shake your windows

And rattle your walls

For the times they are a-changing

Come mothers and fathers

Throughout the land

Don't criticize

What you can't understand

Your sons and your daughters

Are beyond your command

Your old road is

Rapidly aging

Please get out of the new one

If you can't lend a hand

For your times they are a-changing

The line it is drawn

And the curse it is cast

The slow one now

Will later be fast

As the present now

Will later be past

The order is

Rapidly fadin'

And the first one now

Will later be last

For the times they are a-changin'

Blowing in the Wind

Blowing In the Wind - By Bob Dylan

How many roads most a man walk down

Before you call him a man ?

How many seas must a white dove sail

Before she sleeps in the sand ?

Yes, how many times must the cannon balls fly

Before they're forever banned ?

The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Yes, how many years can a mountain exist

Before it's washed to the sea ?

Yes, how many years can some people exist

Before they're allowed to be free ?

Yes, how many times can a man turn his head

Pretending he just doesn't see ?

The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Yes, how many times must a man look up

Before he can see the sky ?

Yes, how many ears must one man have

Before he can hear people cry ?

Yes, how many deaths will it take till he knows

That too many people have died ?

The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind.

LET HER GO - PASSENGER (present simple and present progressive)

"Let Her Go"

Well you only need the light when it      1         (to burn) low
Only miss the sun when it   2     (to start) to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you       3      (to feel) low
Only hate the road when you    4     (to miss) home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go

[you are] Staring at the bottom of your glass
[you are]    5     (to hope) one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams   6      (to come) slowly and they go so quickly

You see her when you   7    (to close) your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies

But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when   9   (to feel) low
Only hate the road when   10   (to miss) home
Only know you love her when you let her go

Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast

Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much
And you dived too deep

Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go (oh, oh, ooh, oh no)
And you let her go (oh, oh, ooh, oh no)
Will you let her go?

'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go

Memorization Techniques

Ways to help you remember words.....

Split into parts

Un/happy             out/doors

week/end

Sounds like

To peel sounds like the word פיל
           Picture an elephant peeling a banana.

Looks like

Kick - The word kick looks like to people (K) kicking the ball dot of the (i).
Equiptment - the "q" and "p" when put together look like a hammer (qp), a piece of equipment.

Association

Try to think of something that reminds you of the word you want to remember and create a picture or story to help you remember the word.

         

Present Simple by Bette Midler (present simple)

From A Distance  by Bette Midler

From a distance the world  1                      (look) blue and green
And the snow capped mountains white
From a distance the ocean 2                               (meet) the stream
And the eagle 3                           (take) to flight

From a distance, there is harmony
And it 4                                  (echo) through the land
It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace
It's the voice of every man

From a distance we all have enough
And no one is in need
And there 5                        (is) no guns, no bombs, and no disease
No hungry mouths to feed

From a distance we are instruments
Marching in a common band
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace
They're the songs of every man

God is watching us, God is watching us
God is watching us from a distance

From a distance you 6                           (look) like my friend
Even though we 7                       (is) at war
From a distance I just cannot 8                      (comprehend)
What all this fighting is for

From a distance there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
And it's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves
It's the heart of every man
(Every man)

It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves
This is the song of every man

And God is watching us, God is watching us
God is watching us from a distance
Oh, God is watching us, God is watching
God is watching us from a distance
