What does your world smell of... what does it tastes of... how does it fell?

LET SEE IF THIS SONG BRING YOU BACK TO THOSE DAYS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quWcvMGtnKw Mem'ries, Light the corners of my mind Misty water-colored memories Of the way we wereScattered pictures, Of the smiles we left behind Smiles we gave to one another For the way we were Can it be that it was all so simple then? Or has time re-written every line? If we had the chance to do it all again Tell me, would we? Could we? Mem'ries, may be beautiful and yet What's too painful to remember We simply choose to forget So it's the laughterWe will remember Whenever we remember...The way we were...The way we were...

As you have told you in the classroom , I used to learn some songs with the grammar structures I wanted to learn. I find this a perfect mneno-techique, don't you? I have given you some examples.

For my new students of 4c

this is a welcome Cinema Paradiso - Dulce Pontes www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tz6qj4nijdE&feature=related Era uma vezUm rasgo de magia Dança de sombra e de luz De sonho e fantasia Num ritual que me seduz Cinema que me dás tanta alegria Deixa a nesta cadência Na tela do meu coração Voltar a ser criança E assim esquecer a solidão Os olhos a brilhar Numa sala escura Voa a 24 imagens por segundo Meu comovido coração Aprendeu a voar Neste Cinema Paradiso Que eu trago no olharE também no sorriso
