Homework problems! A student in England has a very good excuse for not finishing his homework - his dog ate it! The student's dog chewed his USB key with his school work on it. When he told his teacher, he didn't believe him!

It's time to wake up! Do you hate getting up in the morning? When this alarm rings, it makes a loud noise and the propeller goes into the air. To stop the noise, you must find the propeller and put it back on the alarm clock.

Suddenly I see

KT Tunstall

Meaning of the song...
I think that this song talks about the the shy and normal girl. She changes her life. The girl, then, is very beautiful and very pretty. Her boyfriend wants the girl before the change. Love and indifference are two words to describe the main meaning of the song.

Suddenly I see
This what wanna be
Suddenly I see
Why the hell it means so much to me





Suddenly I see is the song that Gemma choose to work in class. (Gemma's portfolio)
I like this song, is original and funny.

Rehab

Amy Winehouse



Song lyrics Rehab lyrics


The song talks about Amy Winehouse and her problems with drugs. Amy's family or friends say that Amy needs rehabilitation. Amy doesn't want to go to a centre of rehabilitation of drugs. The title of the song is very clear: REHAB, rehab is the same you say rehabilitation. This is the main meaning of the song.
I think that this song is very in teresting to listen, because a lot of people around the world have the same Amy's problem: the drugs. This is a big problem and this need a solution. I didn't try the drugs, but I think that when you stay in the same problem is very necessary listen the people who want to help you, very important!
