C & J

 C. & J.

Summer 2020 has 2 things in common.

Everybody knows both of them. 

What are they?

                                                                                                                                                                                 @jamescott887

Just guess...

C. & J.

... Any idea?

...

Yes, you are right. 

...

The 2 things are:

CORONAVIRUS  &  JERUSALEMA

They are the two sides of the same coin, 

called "SUMMER '20":

- the negative side: CORONAVIRUS (meaning 'pandemia')

&

- the positive side: JERUSALEMA, (meaning 'hope')

                                                                                                                                            Official Video "Jerusalema"

Let's pay attention to the positive JERUSALEMA, 

the song of the summer 2020,

a song of HOPE. 

                                                                                                                                            

Have you heard it?

If not, have a look at the official video of it:

Jerusalema is a song by South-African DJ and singer Master KG., 

created in the spring of 2019 and months later the song went viral. 

The success of the song is enormous nowadays.

Not only the music video for the song has been viewed 

more than 72 millions times on YouTube, 

but also been danced by people from countries all ove the world.

So, if you llike dancing, 

you can even learn how to dance it 

and participate in the challenge...

Have a look and practice at home in your free time,

after your classes !!

;-)

 

 So, if Master KG can get success 

with the help of Nomcebo Zikode, 

You can achieve your goals

with the help of your teachers.

Remember the original lyrics of the song 

in "venda" (an African language)...

"uhambe nami"

( "Come with me", in English )

( "Acompáñame", in Spanish)

                                                                                   Have a nice school-year 2020/21

                                                                                    &

                                                                                     Good luck !!

On this post of "English@Edrissis"

we are glad to share a Project about this song 

"Rolling in the Deep", 

carried out by one of our Students:

SIRALL ABDEL-LAH CHOUATI, 

a 18-year-old student of English

in Secondary Education for Adults

(March, 2020).

It is an excellent example 

of a Good Educative Practice 

in our English Classroom

at CEPA "Edrissis", Ceuta (Spain).

                                                                                                                                                                                                   Photo by JC

On his own  words, 

this piece of work fulfills all the objectives foreseen

 in the development of this task-based project:

"Resulta interesante trabajar la lengua inglesa

haciendo uso  de la música y teniendo que elaborar un proyecto 

utilizando el ordenador a través de búsquedas guiadas en Internet.

En definitiva, es una manera diferente de trabajar, 

que nos acerca a algo que nos gusta a todos 

y con lo que convivimos cada día, la música."

                                                            Sirall

As an example of the combination of the use of MUSIC in ENGLISH
and the different selected tools on INTERNET, this is the final product...
The Project "ROLLING IN THE DEEP" by Sirall...

Hope you like it!

Just to finish, listen to the song

Today, March 8th, is the International Women's Day 2020,

but equal rights for women should be present all year round.

Every day is March 8th!!

In our opinion, there are some Key-words:

RESPECT, TOLERANCE & EQUALITY.

Because,

 for a real EQUALITY, 

RESPECT and TOLERANCE

are crucial.

Do you know the song "RESPECT" 

and the history of that song?

It is worthwhile 

getting to know more about it.

IMPOSSIBLE ??

Learning a foreign language is POSSIBLE.

You only need passion for what you do.

So...

By the way,
Do you know the song "IMPOSSIBLE" ?


I'm sure you have ever heard the song "IMPOSSIBLE"
 by the British singer James Arthur...

But perhaps you have never heard
this version of the song by Frank Diago.

I hope you like it!!

IMPOSSIBLE
(Lyrics)

I remember years ago

Someone told me I should take

Caution when it comes to love, I did

And you were strong and I was not

My illusion, my mistake

I was careless, I forgot, I did

And now

When all is done, there is nothing to say

You have gone and so effortlessly

You have won, you can go ahead tell them

Tell them all I know now

Shout it from the roof tops

Write it on the sky line

All we had is gone now

Tell them I was happy

And my heart is broken

All my scars are open

Tell them what I hoped would be impossible,

Impossible

Impossible

Impossible

Falling out of love is hard

Falling for betrayal is worse

Broken trust and broken hearts

I know, I know

And thinking all you need is there

Building faith on love and words

Empty promises will wear

I know

I know and now

When all is done, there is nothing to say

And if you're done with embarrassing me

On your own you can go ahead tell them

Tell them all I know now

Shout it from the roof tops

Write it on the sky line

All we had is gone now

Tell them I was happy

And my heart is broken

All my scars are open

Tell them what I hoped would be impossible,

Impossible

Impossible

Impossible

I remember years ago

Someone told me I should take

Caution when it comes to love

I did

(bis)

Impossible

(Impossible) impossible

(Impossible)

Impossible
