HOMEWORK.....
Could you translate the beginning of "You’re the one that I want" (from "Grease") so that it could be sung in Galician? VIDEO HERE
I’ve got chills, they’re multiplying
And I’m losing control
’Cause the power you’re supplyin’.......It’s electrifying
You better shape up ’cause I need a man
And my heart is set on you
You better shape up. You better understand
To my heart I must be true....Nothin’ left, nothin’ left for me to do
You’re the one that I want....You’re the one that I want ...Oh-oh-oh, baby
You’re the one that I want.... You’re the one that I want.....Oh-oh-oh-oh
The one I need .....Oh, yeah, indeed

And what is It like in the Philippines? Let’s ask Felize!!!
A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT EDUCATION
- Does your country have a good education system? What are its strengths and weaknesses?
- What characteristics should a good teacher have?
- Some people learn on their own. What things, if any, have you learned without teachers or formal education?
- There are many education resources online including full university classes. Is the internet useful to learn? Can It replace schools?
- Some people feel the education style of schools damages originality and creativity. What do you think?
- How do you feel about tests and examinations? Are they necessary?
- What’s your learning style? Do you learn best by listening, reading, doing things, or by some other method?
