SONGS: “The Day You Went Away”
"The Day You Went Away"

Sung by. M2M
Well I wonder could it be

When I was dreaming 'bout you baby
You were dreaming of me
Call me crazy, call me blind
To still be suffering is stupid after all of this time
Did I lose my love to someone better

And does she love you like I do
I do, you know I really really do
Well hey
So much I need to say
Been lonely since the day
The day you went away
So sad but true
For me there's only you
Been crying since the day
I remember date and time

September twenty second
Sunday twenty five after nine
In the doorway with your case
No longer shouting at each other
There were tears on our faces
And we were letting go of something special

Something we'll never have again
I know, I guess I really really know

Why do we never know what we've got 'til it's gone
How could I carry on
Cause I've been missing you so much I have to say
Been crying since the day

SONGS:“Weareneverevergettingbacktogether”
“ WE ARE NEVER EVER GETTING BACK TOGETHER”

Sung by: Taylor Swift
I remember when we broke up the first time
Saying, "This is it, I've had enough," 'cause like
We hadn't seen each other in a month
When you said you needed space. (What?)
Then you come around again and say
"Baby, I miss you and I Swear I'm gonna change, trust me."
Remember how That lasted for a day?
I say, "I hate you," we break up, you call me, "I love you."
Oooh we called it off again last night

But oooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you
We are never ever ever getting back together

You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
Like, ever ...
I'm really gonna miss you picking fights

And me, falling for it screaming that I'm right
And you, would hide away and find your peace of mind
With some indie record that's much cooler than mine
Oooh, you called me up again tonight

But oooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me (talk to me)
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
I used to think That we were forever ever

And I used to say never say never
Huh, so he calls me up and he's like, "I still love you"
And I'm like, "I just, I mean this is exhausting, you know, like,
We are never getting back together. Like, ever "
No!

You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me (talk to me)

3. Reading
A. Before you read, discuss this question in a class: Should

children and teens help out with household chores? Why or
why not?
Mom and Kids’ Talk
JASMINE
I think household chores are a pain. Every day after breakfast,

I have to clear the table. On weekends, I have to clean the bathroom
and do the dishes after dinner. There are two things that I hate most
in life—cleaning the bathroom and doing the dishes.
My mom says my bedroom is a mess. I don’t think it’s really

that messy. OK, there are some clothes on the floor, but it’s my
bedroom. Mom doesn’t have to look at it if it bothers her. But she just
has to check my room every day and nag me to clean up “this mess!”
of course, I promise her each time that I will clean it up—when I have
the time.
My brother, Diaz, doesn’t have to do very much at home.

Sometimes, he helps Dad wash the car and water the plants. Those
are not difficult chores at all. I usually have to remind him to help me
do the laundry, but after he puts the laundry in the washer, he runs
back to his computer.

Fluency Habit: “Japanese Bow”

A. Take a look at this article about Japanese Greeting.
In Japan, people greet each other by bowing. A bow ranges

from a small nod of the head to a long, 90 degree bend at the waist. If
the greeting takes place on tatami floor, people get on their knees in
order to bow.
When bowing to someone of higher social status, a deeper,

longer bow indicates respect. Conversely, a small head nod is casual and
informal. However, most Japanese do not expect foreigners to know
proper bowing rules and so a nod of the head is usually sufficient.
It is also common to bow to express thanks, to apologize, to

make a request or to ask someone a favor.
Shaking hands is uncommon among the Japanese, but again,

exceptions are made for foreigners
B. Choose one country. Complete the chart below. Use your

dictionary, if necessary

SONGS: “YOU ARE NOT ALONE”
Sing by: Michael Jackson
Another day has gone Though we're far apart

I'm still all alone You're always in my heart
How could this be you are not alone
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
Someone tell me why And girl you know that I'll be there
Did you have to go I'll be there
And leave my world so cold
You are not alone
Everyday I sit and ask myself I am here with you
How did love slip away Though you're far away
Something whispers in my ear and says I am here to stay
That you are not alone you are not alone
I am here with you I am here with you
Though you're far away Though we're far apart
I am here to stay You're always in my heart
But you are not alone you are not alone

I am here with you I am here with you
Though we're far apart Though you're far away
You're always in my heart I am here to stay
But you are not alone
you are not alone
'Lone, 'lone I am here with you
Why, 'lone Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry For you are not alone...
Asking me to come Not alone ohh
And hold you in my arms You are not alone
I can hear your prayers You are not alone
Your burdens I will bear Say it again
But first I need your hand You are not alone
Then forever can begin You are not alone
Not alone, Not alone
Everyday I sit and ask myself If you just reach out for me girl
How did love slip away In the morning, in the evening
Something whispers in my ear and says Not alone, not alone
That you are not alone You and me not alone
I am here with you Oh together together
Though you're far away Not not being alone
I am here to stay Not not being alone
you are not alone
I am here with you
