Coisas de profe

Quando estou a fazer um exercício com um dos meus alunos em que ele tem de completar espaços com vocabulário relativo ao tema cidade/ campo e uma das frases era assim:

'The Empire State _____________ is the highest __________________ in New York.'

A primeira coisa que saiu da boca do meu aluno foi: 'The Empire State of Mind. É, não é stôra?'

Eu fiquei aparvalhada! É claro que os miúdos agora são muito mais pro-música do que eu era quandoe stava no 7º ano, mas há coisas que têm de saber e não é a completar frases com títulos de canções!

Realmente a música é linda, e uma das minhas preferidas dos últimos tempos.

Empire State Of Mind



Ooohh New York x2
Grew up in a town that is famous as the place of movie scenes
Noise is always loud, there are sirens all around and the streets are mean
If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere, that's what they say
Seeing my face in lights or my name in marquees found down on Broadway


Even if it ain’t all it seems, I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby, I'm from New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New Yoooork!


On the avenue, there ain't never a curfew, ladies work so hard
Such a melting pot, on the corner selling rock, preachers pray to God
Hail a gypsy cab, takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge
Some will sleep tonight with a hunger for more than an empty fridge


I'm gonna make it by any means, I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby, I'm from New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These street will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New Yoooork!


One hand in the air for the big city,
Street lights, big dreams all looking pretty
No place in the world that can compare
Put your lighters in the air, everybody say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


In New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New Yoooork!
