operations of our partner company Dell Company. In recent years we have expanded our
products in more than 20 countries.
Last year we had our sixth consecutive year of growth and we delivered the first retail stock
in Canada.
A lot of changes have taken place recently. This is because we have started to produce our
own products. so, in January, we have just decided to try and break into the Spanish and

Listen to this song by Bruno Mars and complete Its lyrics:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6k8cpUkKK4c
If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea
I……………………….. the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see
I………………………….. the light to guide you

Find out what we're made of


When we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like one, two, three, I'll be there


And I know when I need it
I can count on you like four, three, two, and you………………….. there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do,
oh yeah
oooooh oooooh
ohh yeah ,yeah

If you're tossing' and you're turnin' and you just can't fall asleep
I………………………..a song beside you
And if you ever……………... how much you really mean to me
Everyday I ……………………...you

oh oh oh

Find out what we're made of


When we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like one, two, three, I'll be there


And I know when I need it
I can count on you like four, three, two, and you'll be there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do
oh yeah
oooh oooh
yeah yeah

You…………………………... my shoulder when you cry


I'll never let go, never say goodbye
You know you can count on me like one, two, three,
I'll be there
And I know when I need it
I can count on you like four, three, two, and you………………... there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do
oh yeah
oooooh ooooooh
You can count on me 'cause I can count on you.
