2. Learningthe world
Dear one,
Learning a new language consists in not only to learn the
idiom itself but to discover a whole and completely new world.
Studying ESL (English as a Second Language) will surely help you
exploring a wonderfulpart of life. Improving our communication
means not only to learn a few words, it’s much more than that. We
need to know it deeply, we need to feel it, and we need to live it.
You are, fromthis moment on, becoming part of a different
culture, with different histories, with different points of view. You
are, now, becoming a differentperson. And difference, when you
learn how to deal with, means richness. Fromnow on open your
mind as possibleas you can, and get ready for one of the most
amazing trips in your life.
Be welcome to your world!
My best wishes,
Teacher Ingrid

Roar
Katy Perry
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agree politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything
You held me down, but I got up
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up
Get ready, ‘cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion
And you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
‘Cause I am a champion
And you're gonna hear me roar
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Now I'm floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee, I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero
You held me down, but I got up
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, your hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake your ground
You held me down, but I got up
Get ready, 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion,
And you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion
And you're gonna hear me roar
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Roar-or, roar-or, roar-or
