My favourite song!

The lyrics:

[Chorus - John Legend:]
One day when the glory comes
It will be ours, it will be ours
One day when the war is won
We will be sure, we will be sure
Oh glory

[Common:]
Hands to the Heavens, no man, no weapon
Formed against, yes glory is destined
Every day women and men become legends
Sins that go against our skin become blessings
The movement is a rhythm to us
Freedom is like religion to us
Justice is juxtapositionin' us
Justice for all just ain't specific enough
One son died, his spirit is revisitin' us
Truant livin' livin' in us, resistance is us
That's why Rosa sat on the bus
That's why we walk through Ferguson with our hands up
When it go down we woman and man up
They say, "Stay down", and we stand up
Shots, we on the ground, the camera panned up
King pointed to the mountain top and we ran up

[Chorus]

[John Legend:]
Now the war is not over, victory isn't won
And we'll fight on to the finish, then when it's all done
We'll cry glory, oh glory
We'll cry glory, oh glory

[Common:]
Selma is now for every man, woman and child
Even Jesus got his crown in front of a crowd
They marched with the torch, we gon' run with it now
Never look back, we done gone hundreds of miles
From dark roads he rose, to become a hero
Facin' the league of justice, his power was the people
Enemy is lethal, a king became regal
Saw the face of Jim Crow under a bald eagle
The biggest weapon is to stay peaceful
We sing, our music is the cuts that we bleed through
Somewhere in the dream we had an epiphany
Now we right the wrongs in history
No one can win the war individually
It takes the wisdom of the elders and young people's energy
Welcome to the story we call victory
Comin' of the Lord, my eyes have seen the glory

[Chorus]

[John Legend:]
When the war is done, when it's all said and done
We'll cry glory, oh glory

INFORMAL EMAIL TO THE TEACHER

Hello, Maria,

My name is Dienabou, I'm 18 years old. I live in Salt, Girona. And today I'm going to tell you about my first job experience. I did this job while I was studing "Attention of disabled people" in the same high school that I am now.

I did this job in Palau, a school for disabled children. My main activity was being the teacher's assistant.So, I did tasks such as taking the children to the bathroom,feeding them and performing activities in the computer and more things. Apart from that, it was my responsibility to look after the children, when the teacher was not in the classroom.

This was a good experience for me, because I learnt so much about the children. Basically I learnt that you can also communicate without words.

I hope you liked my experience, and by the way, I recommend you to visit Palau school.

See you soon, bye!

DESCRIBING A PERSON

The woman that I admire the most in this world is my mom Aissatou, who Works cleaning the offices. She is a supermom and has brought up my four brothers and sisters.

She’s forty, my mom’s twenty years younger than my father. So that’s a lot!

She has the typical African appearance, with curves.

She loves walking with her best friend and meeting with her daughters and friends as well. What’s surprising about her is her long brown hair, because that’s not common among African woman. She looks like an Afro-American.

Something that I really like about my momy is that she has a great heart. She loves help people, so I admire it. Another good thing about her is that she listens to people, and advises them well.

Aissatou is the best example of mother, worker and teacher.. I hope I’m like her when I’m older and I’ve my children.
