Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, actor, producer,
dancer, businessman and philanthropist. Often referred to by the honorific nickname "The King of Pop", his
contributions to music, dance, and fashion, along with his publicized personal life, made him a global figure in
popular culture for over four decades. The eighth child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional
music scene along with his brothers as a member of The Jackson 5 in 1964, and began his solo career in 1971. In
the early 1980s, Jackson became a dominant figure in popular music. The music videos for his songs, including
those of "Beat It", "Billie Jean", and "Thriller", were credited with breaking down racial barriers and with
transforming the medium into an art form and promotional tool. The popularity of these videos helped to bring the
then-relatively-new television channel MTV to fame. With videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream", he
continued to innovate the medium throughout the 1990s. Through stage and video performances, Jackson
popularized a number of complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk, to which he gave the
name. His distinctive sound and style has influenced numerous hip hop, post-disco, contemporary R&B, pop and
rock artists.

În ceea ce priveste limba cele mai multe dificultati sau greseli intampinate sunt:
 Vocabular destul de redus la unii copii
 Nerecunoasterea unor cuvinte/sintagme din limba Engleza
 Imposibilitatea exprimării logice în limba engleză
 Folosirea foarte precară sau deloc a unor cuvinte de legătură, sintagme şi structure cu grad de
dificultate sporit în redactarea unui text narativ.
Astfel, in urma rezultatelor partial nemultumitoare, se vor lua următoarele măsuri:
 Reluarea şi consolidarea cunoştinţelor din anii anteriori ;
 Exerciţii de exersare orală şi scrisă pentru forma timpurilor verbale; diateze şi construcţii
verbale în context diferite (If Clause, Reported Speech, Passive Voice.)
 Fise de lucru pentru dezvoltarea/consolidarea compenţelor de exprimare în scris;
 Utilizarea dictionarului pentru insuţirea de noi cuvinte şi exerciţii de vocabular.
 Exerciţii de redactare de paragrafe/texte scurte şi eseuri scurte pe o tema de referinta.
 Exerciţii de comunicare verbal/în scris.
