Oh yes I’m the great pretender
O verbo da língua inglesa "to pretend" também surpreende muitas pessoas, que logo pensam em "pretender". Mas "to pretend" quer dizer "fingir". "Pretender" seria o mentiroso, o fingidor. Por essas e por outras, tome sempre muito cuidado com os falsos cognatos.

1ª aula 8ª série
Olá queridos alunos da 8ª série.
One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men – his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.

About freedom
Song II
Come to decide that the things that I tried
Were in my life just to get high on
When I sit alone come get a little known
But I need more than myself this time
Step from the road to the sea to the sky
And I do believe that we rely on
When I lay it on
Come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice
Hey oh listen what I say oh
I got your
Hey oh now listen what I say oh
When will I know that I really can't go
To the well once more time to decide on
When it's killing me
When will I really see
All that I need to look inside
Come to believe that I better not leave
Before I get my chance to ride
When it's killing me
What do I really need
All that I need to look inside
Hey oh listen what I say oh
Come back and
Hey oh look at what I say oh
The more I see the less I know
The more I like to let it go...hey oh
wooooaaah
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there's nowhere to go
In between the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will
Be concealed and there's nowhere to go oh!
When to descend to amend for a friend
All the channels that have broken down
Now you bring it up
Im gonna ring it up
Just to hear you sing it out
Step from the road to the sea to the sky
And I do believe what we rely on
When I lay it on
Come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice
Hey oh listen what I say oh
I got your
Hey oh listen what I say oh
The more I see the less I know
The more I like to let it go...hey oh
wooooaaah
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there's nowhere to go
In between the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will
Be concealed and there's nowhere to go
I said hey yeah oh yeah tell my lord now
Hey yeah oh yeah tell my lord now
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there's nowhere to go
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will
Be concealed and there's nowhere to go
I said hey oh yeah oh yeah tell my lord now
Hey yeah yeah oh yeah

World 'needs radical cuts' on CO2
By Tanya Syed BBC News
More carbon dioxide needs to be absorbed than emitted by 2050 in order to prevent catastrophic climate change.
That is the conclusion of a report by the Worldwatch Institute which urges bigger cuts in greenhouse emissions.
The authors say that even a rise in temperatures of 2 degrees C poses unacceptable risks to natural systems.
But they add that it is still possible to arrest and manage climate change with renewable technologies and more efficient ways of living.
"Sealing the deal to save the global climate will require mass public support and worldwide political will to shift to renewable energy, new ways of living, and a human scale that matches the atmosphere's limits," said Robert Engelman, vice president for programmes at the Worldwatch Institute.
Commenting on the report, Ian Lowe, president of the Australian Conservation Foundation, said: "It is a persuasive call to action. Unless we take early concerted action, the impacts of climate change will overwhelm our capacity to adapt."

Song
All this feels strange and untrue
And I won't waste a minute without you
My bones ache, my skin feels cold
And I'm getting so tired and so old
The anger swells in my guts
And I won't feel these slices and cuts
I want so much to open your eyes
Cos I need you to look into mine
Tell me that you'll open your eyes x4
Get up, get out, get away from these liars
Cos they don't get your soul or your fire
Take my hand, knot your fingers through mine
And we'll walk from this dark room for the last time
Every minute from this minute now
We can do what we like anywhere
I want so much to open your eyes
Cos I need you to look into mine
Tell me that you'll open your eyes x8
All this feels strange and untrue
And I won't waste a minute without you.
Tudo isto parece estranho e irreal
E eu não quero perder um só momento sem você
Meus ossos doem, minha pele está fria
E eu estou ficando tão cansado e tão velho
A raiva me corroi por dentro
E eu não vou sentir os pedaços e os cortes
Eu quero tanto abrir seus olhos
Por que eu preciso que você olhe nos meus
Me diga que você abrirá seus olhos [x4]
Levante, vá embora, saia de perto desses mentirosos
Porque eles não pegam sua alma ou seu fogo
pegue minha mão, entrelaçe seus dedos entre os meus
E nós sairemos deste quarto escuro pela última vez
Cada minuto a partir deste agora
Podemos fazer o que gostamos em qualquer lugar
Eu quero tanto abrir seus olhos
Porque eu preciso que você olhe nos meus
Me diga que você abrirá seus olhos [x8]
Tudo isto parece estranho e irreal
E eu não vou perder um só momento sem você.
