Looking for a job: what should we do?

The songs from our class

I've asked the class to bring their favorite songs to the class. Here's the result:

Shakira - She Wolf


S.O.S she is in _____________

S.O.S she is in disguise

There's a she wolf in disguise,

Coming out, coming out, coming out

A _____________ girl that's all you ask of me,

Darling it is no joke, this is lycanthropy.

Moon's awake now, my eyes wide open

My body is craving, so feed the hungry


I 've devoting myself to you

_________ to Monday

And Friday to Friday

Not getting enough retribution

Would be a sentence to keep me at it?

___________ to feel just a little abused

Like a coffine machine in an office (aaa)

So I'm gonna go somewhere closer

To get me a lover and tell you about it


[Chorus:]

THERE'S A SHE WOLF IN THE CLOSET,

OPEN UP AND SET HER FREE {auuuu}

THERE'S A SHE WOLF IN THE CLOSET,

LET IT OUT SO IT CAN BREATH [inhales, exhales]

Sitting across the bar, Staring right at her pray,

It's going well so far, She's gonna get her way.

Nocturnal creatures Are not so prudent,

The moon's my teacher, And I'm her student.


To look at the _________ man I've got on me a special radar,

And the fire department's hotline in case I get in trouble later

Not looking for cute little divos, or richer... ?

Any guys that just want to enjoy (aaa)

By having a very good time, and behave very bad

In the arms of the boy


[Chorus:]

THERE'S A SHE WOLF IN THE CLOSET,

OPEN UP AND SET HER FREE {auuuuuu}

THERE'S A SHE WOLF IN THE CLOSET,

LET IT OUT SO IT CAN BREATH [inhales, exhales]


S.O.S she is in disguise

S.O.S she is in disguise (BREATHS HEAVELY)

There's a she wolf in disguise,

Coming out, coming out, coming out


S.O.S she is in disguise

S.O.S she is in disguise

There's a she wolf in disguise,

Coming out, coming out, ______________


THERE'S A SHE WOLF IN THE CLOSET,

LET IT OUT SO IT CAN BREATH [inhales, exhales]

Key - Words:



Monday; Domesticated; Disguise; Starting; Single; coming out.





Black Eyed Peas – I Gotta Feeling



I gotta feeling

That tonight's gonna be a good night

That tonight's gonna be a good night

That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

I gotta feeling

That tonight's gonna be a good night

That tonight's gonna be a good night

That tonight's gonna be a good, good night


Tonight's the night, let's live it up

I got my money, let's spend it up

Go out and smash it like oh my God

Jump off that sofa, let's get, get off


I know that we'll have a ball if we get down

And go out and just lose it all

I feel stressed out, I wanna let it go

Let's go way out spaced out and losing all control


Fill up my cup, Mazel Tov

Look at her dancing, just take it off

Let's paint the town, we'll shut it down

Let's burn the roof and then we'll do it again


Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it, let's do it

And do it and do it, let's live it up

And do it and do it and do it, do it, do it

Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it


'Cause I gotta feeling

That tonight's gonna be a good night

That tonight's gonna be a good night

That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

I gotta feeling

That tonight's gonna be a good night

That tonight's gonna be a good night

That tonight's gonna be a good, good night


Tonight's the night, let's live it up

I got my money, let's spend it up

Go out and smash it like oh my God

Jump off that sofa, let's get, get off


Fill up my cup, drink, Mazel Tov, lahyme

Look at her dancing, move it, move it, just take it off

Let's paint the town, we'll shut it down

Let's burn the roof and then we'll do it again


Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it, let's do it

And do it and do it, let's live it up

And do it and do it and do it, do it, do it

Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it, do it, do it, do it


Here we come, here we go, we gotta rock

Easy come, easy go, now we on top

Feel the shot, body rock, rock it, don't stop

Round and round, up and down, around the clock


Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday

Friday, Saturday, Saturday to Sunday

Get, get, get, get, get with us, you know what we say, say

Party every day, p-p-party every day


And I'm feelin'

That tonight's gonna be a good night

That tonight's gonna be a good night

That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

I gotta feeling

That tonight's gonna be a good night

That tonight's gonna be a good night

That tonight's gonna be a good, good night



I Hate This Part





The Pussycat Dolls


We're driving slow through the snow on 5th Avenue

And right now, radio's all that we can hear

Now we ain't talk since we left, it's so overdue

It's cold outside but between us it's worse in here


The world slows down

But my heart beats fast right now

I know this is the part

Where the end starts


I can't take it any longer

Thought that we were stronger

All we do is linger

Slipping through our fingers

I don't wanna try now

All that's left is good-bye

To find a way that I can tell you

I hate this part right here

I hate this part right here

I just can't take your tears

I hate this part right here


Everyday seven takes of the same old scene

Seems we're bound by the loss of the same routine

Gotta talk to you now before we go to sleep

But will you sleep once I tell you what's hurting me?


The world slows down

But my heart beats fast right now

I know(I know) this is(this is) the part

Where the end starts


I can't take it any longer

Thought that we were stronger

All we do is linger

Slipping through our fingers

I don't wanna try now

All that's left is good-bye

To find a way that I can tell you

I hate this part right here

I hate this part right here

I just can't take your tears

I hate this part right here


I know you'll ask me to hold on

And carry on like nothing's wrong

But there is no more time for lies

'Cause I see sunset in your eyes


I can't take it any longer (can't take do this)

Thought that we were stronger

All we do is linger (is linger)

Slipping through our fingers (through our finger)

I don't wanna try now (try now)

All that's left is good-bye (goodbye now)

To find a way that I can tell you (I can tell you)


But I've gotta do is,

I've gotta do it,

I've gotta do it

I hate this part

I gotta do it,

I gotta do it,

I gotta do it


I hate this part right here

I hate this part right here

I just can't take these tears

I hate this part right here





Here without You - 3 doors down


A hundred days have made me__________

Since the last time that I saw your pretty face

A thousand lies have made me__________

And I don't think I can look at this the same

But all the miles that separate

They disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face



I'm here without you__________

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby

And I dream about you all the________

I'm here without you baby

But you're still with me in my dreams

And tonight, it's only you and me



The miles just keep rolling

As the people leave their way to say_______

I've heard this life is overrated

But I hope that it gets better as we go



I'm here without you baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby

And I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby

But you're still with me in my________

And tonight, it's only you and me

And tonight girl, it's only you and me



Everything I know, and anywhere I go

it gets hard but it won't take away my love

And when the last one falls, when it's all said and done

it gets hard but it won't take away my love



I'm here without you baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby

And I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby

But you're still with me in my dreams

And tonight, it's only you and me

And tonight girl, it's only you and me

YOUR JOB

Read only the colour corresponding to your favourite colour.

RED

You’re original and ahead of your time. You get impatient when your innovative ideas aren’t accepted by your colleagues. The perfect company for you is one where the freedom of thinking is respected. You are creative so you would make a good inventor, scientist, activist or politician

ORANGE
You may not be the tidiest, most organised person on the planet but you do know where everything is. You’re sensitive and very creative. You like rescuing sick animals and promoting world peace would make you happy. You’d make a great photographer, actor or advertising artist.

YELLOW
Although you were born a natural leader, you are much better working alone because you’re very bossy. You are energetic and love working with others to exchange ideas and have a good laugh. You could be a good athlete, salespeople or soldier or even try to run your own business

BLUE
Clever and charming, you are an excellent communicator. You always get excited about new projects but you only work properly if you have a dozen different things to do within the next ten minutes. Your best career is one where your communication skills are appreciated and used. You’re suited to working in advertising, journalism or other media jobs.

GREEN
You need to believe in what you are doing to feel motivated. Your relationship with your friends is powerful because you respect, above all other things, loyalty in a colleague. Emotional satisfaction means more to you than money. You’d be great at people-management, nursing, counselling and anything to do with homes and families.

VIOLET
Creative and confident, you always look like you know what you are doing. Salary comes first on your list of job priorities. You work best in a fun, social environment where you get the chance to shine. Your dream job would have to be a movie star, but you would also make a good party organiser. You are fantastic at playing fun games with children too.


BLACK
You are very organised and productive in the workplace. You’re good at details and you desire to be helpful. You’re clever and good with words, so teaching would be right up your street. Being a nurse or dietician could suit. And if you’re an animal lover, you’d make a great vet.

PURPLE
You can be obsessive – no one wants to get on the wrong side of you. You need intense work challenges and a boss you can trust. You also need your privacy. And as for the perfect career, it’s all blood, courage and money. Top careers for you would include surgeons, doctors, therapists, detectives and bankers.

TURQUOISE
You have an infectious sense of adventure. You’re always keen to move on to bigger, better things. Any job that comes with the prospect of overseas travel turns you on. You prefer a company where your intelligence, vision and sense of humour are valued. You’d make a good sales person, comedian, explorer, tour representative.

BEIGE
You’re very responsible, professional, determined and hardworking. The boss knows you will get the job done, whatever it takes. But when will you have a laugh? Best to stay away from jobs where you need to have a joke if you want a promotion. You’d make a great lawyer, managing director or finance director.



Do you agree with what is said about you and the jobs that best suit you?

Texto Autobiográfico


Tal como todas as outras adolescentes, eu na minha adolescência tive os meus problemas, as minhas desilusões, as minhas revoltas e o que costuma dar mais "dores de cabeça", principalmente às raparigas, os romances. os grandes ou pequenos amores, o que nos deixa drasticamente tristes ou absolutamente felizes. Mas há sempre um dia, uma altura, uma hora, um local, um minuto, até mesmo um segundo que tudo muda. Isso aconteceu comigo e lembro cada gesto, cada palavra, cada pormenor daquele dia, daquele momento.

Lembro-me que não andava feliz. Estava mesmo triste. Mesmo assim, havia sempre um sorriso na cara. lembro-me que era a única que não tinha namorado.
[...]

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------





Nós,seres humanos, pessoas imperfeitas, passamos por grandes momentos, bons e maus. Momentos que marcam pela positiva ou pela negativa. Nunca sabemos como será o dia de amanhã, para que possamos prevenir certas surpresas.

Algo muito marcante acontecer na minha vida há cinco anos trás, quando os meus país decidiram que eu ia estudar para Portugal. Foi um grande impacto. Não queria deixar a minha cidade, os meus amigos e até mesmo uma parte da minha família.
[...]

Mas tive que me conformar. Quando cheguei a Portugal, o sol não brilhava, a saudade apertava e as lágrimas caiam. Sentia-me obcecado pelo meu país.

Os primeiros dois anos foram assim, mas depois compreendi que o ser humano é um ser adaptável e com algum sacrifício conseguimos alcançar a felicidade.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A minha primeira viagem sozinha

No ano de 2008, os meus país ofereceram-me uma viagem para Cabo Verde. Quando me disseram que ia viajar sozinha, fiquei histérica. Sempre sonhei viajar sem os nossos país sempre a dizer:
- Hoje vamos para a casa da tua Tia. vamos para o mercado ........

Quando faltava só uma semana, comecei a entrar em pânico. Mas estava tão feliz, por ir passar as minhas férias com os meus avós que não via há uns bons anos, os meus amigos de infância, os meus primos ...
