Ooooooh Wooooooh

Give me freedom, give me fire, give me reason, take me higher
See the champions, take the field now, you define us, make us feel proud
In the streets are, exaliftin , as we lose our inhabition,
Celebration its around us, every nation, all around us

Singin forever young, singin songs underneath that sun
Lets rejoice in the beautiful game.
And together at the end of the day.

They'll call me freedom Just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back
And then it goes back

See the champions, take the field now, you define us, make us feel proud
In the streets are, exaliftin, every loser in ambition,
Celebration, its around us, every nations, all around us

Singin forever young, singin songs underneath that sun
Lets rejoice in the beautiful game.

Can  you control your stess?

Stress is natural part of being human. It's your body responding to changes in the world around you.

It changes how your body works and puts your mind into different moods.

When you're getting a bit stressed about an exam - it just means that you really care about the result you will get.

That can be a good thing if it pushes you into working extra hard as you try to get a good score.

But it can be bad if you get too worried and the effects of the stress stop you doing well.

PETULA CLARK - Downtown

When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go - downtown
When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know - downtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?

The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown - no finer place, for sure
Downtown - everything's waiting for you

Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
There are movie shows - downtown
Maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close - downtown
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with him too before the night is over
Happy again

The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, where all the lights are bright
Downtown - waiting for you tonight
Downtown - you're gonna be all right now

[Instrumental break]

And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Guide them along

So maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares
So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown - don't wait a minute for
Downtown - everything's waiting for you

Downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown ...

Here is an interesting site where you can listen to a teacher talking about her life and using lots of present perfect.

Here you have the different uses of the present perfect.

On this link you'll revise how to use it.

On this one you'll practise switching from present to present perfect.

With this exercise you'll have to make the difference between present perfect and preterit.

Now you must be ready to understand people's experiences or to speak about yours.

But if ou have any questions don't hesitate to leave them in the commments.
