And Nothing Else Matters...



This is a song for you to notice the different ways British and Americans pronounce the letter R. Pay attention to how the Metallica vocalist, James Hetfield, rolls the R when he sings .."and nothing else matters...", pronouncing the <tt> segment as an /r/. Ready to imitate him as you sing along? Please...


So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
I never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
Nothing else matters
Especially dedicated to David R.

Speaking Practice


As you already know, we're going to devote the month of March to practicing the next speaking exam in June. Every week I will have one pair of students do the exam in front of the class as if they were in the real situation in June. I hope not to run out of volunteers! Anyway, here are the cards, so please everybody take a look at the speaking cards for this week.

So, who'd like to be candidate A and candidate B? :-)
