One Love; By Bob marley and UNICEF

Hi Everyone,

Here is a version of Bob Marley's song One Love. It has been released as a collaboration between UNICEF and Bob Marley's family to raise money for children affected by the COVID 19 pandemic. It also provides a most enjoyable way to learn a bit of vocabulary for the English language learners of Alpens 😊

Here is a message from Bob Marley's daugther, Cedella:

“Over 40 years ago, my father wrote One Love about unity, peace and universal love during a time when there was much trouble in the world.

Even in a time when we aren’t able to get together, his message remains true today, we can get through this global crisis if we come together through one love and one heart.”

Cedella Marley

And here are the lyrics of the song. What is the meaning of the line, "Let's get together and feel alright"? Leave you answer in the comments below!:

One love
One heart
Let's get together and feel alright
(hear the children crying)
One love (hear the children crying)
One heart (sayin')
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel alright (sayin')
Let's get together and feel alright
(whoa whoa whoa whoa)
Let them all pass, all their dirty remarks (one love)
There is one question I'd really love to ask (one heart)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinners
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own (believe)
One love (what about one heart)
One heart (what about love)
Let's get together and feel alright (as it was in the beginning)
One love (so shall it be in the end)
One heart (alright)
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel alright
Let's get together and feel alright
(one more thing)
Let's get together to fight this Holy Armageddon (one love)
So when the Man come, there will be no no doom (one song)
Have pity on those whose chances grows thinner
There ain't no hiding place from the Father of creation (sayin')
One love (what about one heart)
One heart (what about love)
Let's get together and feel alright (I'm pleading to mankind)
One love (what about one heart)
One heart (oh oh)
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel alright
Let's get together and feel alright
(give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel alright)

A Fairytale of New York

Here is one of the most popular Christmas songs in the UK and my personal favourite- A Fairytale of New York. It is a raucous Duet performed by The Pogues' Shane MacGowan and Kirsty MacColl. The lyrics are quite difficult and it is full of swear words and obscenities, but it tells a story which ends up being quite touching, it is very funny and the tune is fabulous! So Chatterboxes- can you tell me what the relationship is between the two singers in the song? A Fairytale of New York It was Christmas Eve babe In the drunk tank An old man said to me, won't see another one And then he sang a song The Rare Old Mountain Dew I turned my face away And dreamed about you Got on a lucky one Came in eighteen to one I've got a feeling This year's for me and you So happy Christmas I love you baby I can see a better time When all our dreams come true They've got cars big as bars They've got rivers of gold But the wind goes right through you It's no place for the old When ...

English File: Pronunciation chart

 Hello Everybody! Here is something that is useful for all groups and all levels- an on-line pronunciation chart!  One thing about learning English that a lot of people find difficult is pronunciation. In my classes I like to practice pronunciation and I use phonetic symbols ( letras fonéticas ) to highlight ( recalcar ) the sounds. Here is a link to a Webpage where you can listen to every phonetic symbol or phoneme in English. Click on the phoneme and it will give you the sound and the sound in a word. for example- if you click on the phoneme /I/, which is made to look like a fish, a voice will say the sound /I/ and say the word fish. I hope that you will start to become familiar with the different sounds as we do more classes, and that you become more familiar with the phonetic letters used to represent them. You can use this webpage as a reference! English File: Pronunciation chart
