Cher - believe

Songs are nice to practice listening and improve your fluency, enjoy this one...


After love, after love [repeat]
No matter how hard I try / You keep pushing me aside/ And I can't break through /There's no talking to you / So sad that you're leaving / Takes time to believe it / But after all is said and done / You're going to be the lonely one, Ohh Oh
[CHORUS:]
Do you believe in life after love / I can feel something inside me say / I really don't think you're strong enough, / Now/ Do you believe in life after love /I can feel something inside me say / I really don't think you're strong enough, / Now
What am I supposed to do / Sit around and wait for you / And I can't do that /There's no turning back / I need time to move on / I need love to feel strong / 'Cause I've had time to think it through / And maybe I'm too good for you Ohh Oh
[CHORUS]
But I know that I'll get through this / 'Cause I know that I am strong / I don't need you anymore/ Oh I don't need you anymore I don't need you anymore / No I don't need you anymore
[CHORUS repeat to fade]

U11 Varities of English L01- American or British?



Dear Adv. students as you know it's very important to increasae your vocabulary, so from now on you have to give the meaning plus an example for each new word in each lesson, be careful, because first you have to get the meaning from the context where you find it (your student's book or workbook) then you can look it up in a dictionary or surf the internet, it's up to you.
You can also write a story and include all the new words in it; the best you do, the highest grade you get. Don't write your classmate's examples. It isn't worth.

COMPOUNDS
These compound nouns are formed from phrasal verbs, be careful:
Run-up Sell-by Getaway Clean-up
Lead-up Takeover Lookout Turnaround
Round-up Standby Putdown Turnover
