This is the song Help of The Beatles, i love this song because it reminds me of my grandfather who is a fan of The Beatles and he has a lot of albums of The Beatles.
The lyric of this song i like but i don't really have a opinion and i think it's more personal the relationship i have with this song.
Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help.
When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me?
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like I've never done before.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.
When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh.

Satyin' Alive by the Bee Gees

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk, I’m a woman’s man: no time to talk. Music loud and women warm, I’ve been kicked around since I was born. And now it’s all right. It’s OK. And you may look the other way. We can try to understand the New York Times’ effect on man. Whether you’re a brother or whether you’re a mother, you’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive. Feel the city breakin’ and everybody shakin’, and we’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive. Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive. Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive. Well now, I get low and I get high, and if I can’t get either, I really try. Got the wings of heaven on my shoes. I’m a dancin’ man and I just can’t lose. You know it’s all right. It’s OK. I’ll live to see another day. We can try to understand the New York Times’ effect on man. Whether you’re a brother or whether you’re a mother, you’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive. Feel the city breakin’ and everybody shakin’, and we’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive. Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive. Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive. Life goin’ nowhere. Somebody help me. Somebody help me, yeah. Life goin’ nowhere. Somebody help me. Somebody help me, yeah. Stayin’ alive. Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk, I’m a woman’s man: no time to talk. Music loud and women warm, I’ve been kicked around since I was born. And now it’s all right. It’s OK. And you may look the other way. We can try to understand the New York Times’ effect on man. Whether you’re a brother or whether you’re a mother, you’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive. Feel the city breakin’ and everybody shakin’, and we’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive. Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive. Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive. Life goin’ nowhere. Somebody help me. Somebody help me, yeah. Life goin’ nowhere. Somebody help me, yeah. I’m stayin’ alive.

Present Perfect.
Form
Have/Has + Past Participle.
He - Has
She - Has
It - Has
We - Have
They - Have
I - Have
You - Have
Examples:
· You have seen that movie many times.
· Have you seen that movie many times?
·You have not seen that movie many times.
We use the Present Perfect to say that an action happened at an unspecified time. You CAN'T use the Present Perfect with specific time expressions such as: yesterday, ago, last week, when I was a child, when I lived in Japan, etc. We CAN use the Present Perfect with expressions such as: ever, never, already, yet, etc.

Today i'ts raining a lot!!!!! I get wet when I left the high school. What about you?

Big in Japan - Alphaville.

Winter´s cityside Crystal bits of snowflakes All around my head and in the wind I had no illusions That I'd ever find a glimpse Of summer's heatwaves in your eyes You did what you did to me Now it's history I see Here's my comeback on the road again Things will happen while they can I will wait here for my man tonight It's easy when you're big in Japan

Aah when you're big in Japan, tonight... Big in Japan, be tight... Big in Japan... ooh the eastern sea's so blue Big in Japan, alright, Pay! Then I'll sleep by your side Things are easy when you're big in Japan Oh when you're big in Japan

Neon on my naked skin, passing silhouettes Of strange illuminated mannequins Shall I stay here at the zoo Or should I go and change my point of view For other ugly scenes You did what you did to me Now it's history I... see Things will happen while they can I will wait here for my man tonight It's easy when you're big in Japan

Aah when you're big in Japan,tonight... Big in Japan be tight... Big in Japan... ooh the eastern sea's so blue Big in Japan, alright, pay! Then I'll sleep by your side Things are easy when you're big in Japan.

This song we sing in class has a beautiful composition. The lyrics is very emotional and interesting for the people living in Japan, because it explains the situations that are experienced on the night of Japan. I think we should sing more song interesting like this one

10 Tips to use your dictionary

1. Try and work out the meaning of an unfamiliar word from its context before you look it up in a dictionary. 2. A dictionary can help you improve your spelling, but you may have to look in several places before you find the word you want. For example, if you want to check the word "ceiling", you may look at "sealing", before you find the right word. 3. Get to know the range of information that is available in your dictionary (e.g. pronunciation, different uses of the word, etc.), and the phonetic alphabet and the codes that your dictionary uses. 4. Always check all the meanings given for a word, because the same word may have a different meaning in a different context. 5. A dictionary can give you a lot of help with grammar. For example, it can tell you whether a word is followed by a particular preposition, whether a noun is countable or uncountable, what the parts of irregular verbs are, or whether a verb is followed by the infinitive or the -ing form of another verb. 6. When you check the meaning of a phrasal verb, remember to look up the complete verb, for example 'work out', not just 'work'. 7. If you want to check the meaning of an idiom, look for information under a key word. For example, if you have trouble understanding 'It's taken for granted today that children should study a foreign language at school', look for help under 'grant[ed]'. 8. It's very important to study the examples of a word in use. As well as helping you understand meaning, the examples will show how the word is used and in what contexts. 9. Use a dictionary to help you with your private study, for example: a) To make sure of the meaning of important new words you have met in class (or heard in an English language film, or come across in something you have read for pleasure, etc.); b) To distinguish between words with similar meanings (for example, in a vocabulary exercise); c) To prepare a piece of writing or an oral presentation. 10. Remember that consulting a dictionary can be very helpful, but often (for example, during a conversation) you should use other methods (for example, asking for an explanation, expressing your meaning in different words) if you don't understand something or you can't find exactly the word you want.
