Listen to this wonderful song and try to understand the meaning. In our next class we are going to translate it together.
Always Bon Jovi
This Romeo is bleeding
But you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up
It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter
But without you I give up
Now I can't sing a love song
Like the way it's meant to be
Well I guess I'm not that good anymore
But baby that's just me
And I will love you baby always
And I'll be there forever and a day always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
And I know when I die you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you always
Now your pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh
Some that made us cry
One that made you have to say good bye
What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair
To touch your lips to hold you near
When you say your prayers try to understand
I've made mistakes I'm just a man
When he holds you close
When he pulls you near
When he says the words
You've been needing to hear
I'll wish I was him cause these words are mine
To say to you till the end of time
And I will love you baby always
And I'll be there forever and a day always
If you told me to cry for you I could
If you told me to die for you I would
Take a look at my face
There's no price I won't pay
To say these words to you
Well there ain't no luck in this loaded dice
But baby if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams and our old lives
We'll find a place where the sun still shines
And I will love you baby always
And I'll be there forever and a day always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
And I know when I die you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you always

Bruna - For instance , How do you say the daughter of my aunt? Teacher - it's cousin. Bruna - That's interesting. What about her son? Teacher - You say cousin for both of them. Bruna - dope! Well , my sister Danielle doesn't have any son . What if she had one... how should I call him? Teacher - Call him by his name. Bruna - lol! I don't know his name ...I mean ... Teacher - I know what you mean, I was kidding! Your sister's son is your nephew. Bruna - Nephew. Ok. What if he were a girl? Teacher - If he were a girl he wouldn't be "he" but "she. Bruna - you are funny teacher! I am annoying you , aren't I ? Teacher - No way Bruna! It's a pleasure to help you. If your sister had a daughter , she would be your niece. Bruna - So, it's nephew for boys and niece for girls. Teacher - That's the ticket! Bruna- What? Teacher - I said that you are right!
......................................................................................................
DANI X TEACHER
Dani - Hello Teacher! How've you been? Teacher - I've been ok Dani. What's up? Why did you call me? Dani - Don't take me wrong teacher...but I'm a little concerned about that Relationship homework you asked me to do. Teacher - Oh , really? What's the matter? Dani- May I call my sister's husband by uncle? Teacher - No, you can't. Your uncle is your mother's or your father's brother. Your sister's husband is your brother-in-law. Dani - Really? If I had a brother , would his wife be my sister-in-law? Teacher - That's the ticket! Dani - How nice! Let me see if I understood the whole picture. My boyfriend's mother is my mother-in-law. Teacher - I'd say that she will be your mother-in-law if you marry him. Dani - but may I call her like that? Teacher - It's up to you. You can call his father like father-in-law... Dani - Oh my gosh! You are opening my mind. Now I can understand many things...my boyfriend's sister once said that I was her sister-in-law because I was dating her brother...now I know she is mine too. That's awesome! ...I think I'm their daughter-in-law... Teacher- You are going to blow the roof of the mother with this homework. Dani- I will if you keep helping me. May I take advantage of this call ? Teacher - Of course! That's what teachers are for! Dani - Thanks a lot teacher! Well, could you please explain me the difference between a step-sister and half-sister? I'm getting bored to death trying to figure it out. Teacher -half sisters have one biological parent in common, by the other hand , step sister is only related through marriage. like if your dad remarries,( I hope it never happens ) his new wife's kids would be your step brothers and step sisters. Dani- As you know teacher, my dad loves my mom too much and we will be together for good! I think I understood ...let me see ...If Bruna my youngest sister were just my father's daughter , she would be my half-sister, wouldn't she? Teacher- That's the ticket! Dani- Come to think of it, if my father marries again his new wife'schildren would be my step-siblings,alright? Teacher- Yeah! but as you told me before , this will never happen... Dani- I don't wanna any "step - something" in my life...I'm happy with the family I have... Teacher - I agree! You have a big pig happy family! Dani - Look out teacher! My Dad knows that you support to the opossums. Teacher - Let's get back to the relationships , alright? Dani - I'm done teacher! Thanks a lot for your time and great support. If you weren't Corinthians fan , you would be the best teacher of the world. Teacher - I got it. Tell your father that the ref made a bad call and for this reason the game ended in a draw. Dani - You better study more about soccer rules. Bye teacher!
Elias - Good Evening Teacher! Please come in! Thanks for answering my call.
Teacher - Don't mention it. Why did you call me here today? Aren't we gonna have class tomorrow?
Elias - Yeah...We will certainly have class tomorrow but I need some extra explanations about the different kind of relationships. I'm trying myself to do it but ...you know, sometimes I forget some basic stuffs.
Teacher - Alright. That's normal. Let's go straight to the source.
Elias - My mother's mother is my grand-mother , am I right?
Teacher - Ask your grand-father...
Elias - I got it! What about my grand-mother's mom?
Teacher - Great question! Great answer ! Your grand-mother's mom had a great life for living so much time ...and for this reason she will be forever your great-grandmother.
Elias - And my grand-father's dad is , without no doubt, my great-grandfather...That's the ticket!
Teacher - Hey you! This expression belongs to me!
Elias - I watched a gangster movie where the famous hollywood actor Al Pacino was called "The God -father" ...What does God -father means?
Teacher - I watched this flick too, it was awesome! Al Pacino is one of the most perfect actor of the world. He was called " The God-father" because he was chosen to be somebody's God- Father. It's a religious term.
Elias - Do you have a God-father , teacher?
Teacher - If I have one I don't know him yet...but I'm sure I have a God who lives in the Heaven and He is my spiritual father.
Elias - If your mother remarries , how would you call her new husband?
Teacher - Certainly I wouldn't never call him " Daddy".
Elias - You know what I mean teacher, don't be silly!
Teacher - I thought you understood the structure with regard to "step"
Elias - Step-something again?
Teacher - Yeah! Step-father
Elias - Oh my gosh! Step- mother, step-sister,step - brother ...stop! I can't take it anymore!
Teacher - As far as I'm concerned you have material enough for your homework.
Elias - Is it over?
Teacher - Actually there are more relationships we didn't mention but I think you already know them.
Elias - Like what?
Teacher - You better finish your homework.
Elias- Just more one question teacher.
Teacher - Go ahead!
Elias- Which team is the leader of Brazilian Soccer Championship?
Teacher - I will answer it if you tell me for which team does the phenomenon Ronaldo play...
Elias- Wrong answer teacher! The correct answer is Fluminense, just because Palmeiras was on your team way and stopped your excellent campaign.
