New Activity

Read the text bellow and tell me what you understand about this Bon Jovi's song. Send your answer to my email gustguim@hotmail.com


"Misunderstood"Should I? Could I?
Have said the wrong things right a thousand times
If I could just rewind, I see it in my mind
If I could turn back time, you'd still be mine


You cried, I died
I should have shut my mouth, things headed south
As the words slipped off my tongue, they sounded dumb
If this old heart could talk, it'd say you're the one
I'm wasting time when I think about it


[Chorus:]
I should have drove all night, I would have run all the lights
I was misunderstood
I stumbled like my words, Did the best I could
Damn, misunderstood


Could I? Should I?
Apologize for sleeping on the couch that night
Staying out too late with all my friends
You found me passed out in the yard again


You cried, I tried
To stretch the truth, but didn't lie
It's not so bad when you think about it


[Chorus:]
I should have drove all night, I would have run all the lights
I was misunderstood
I stumbled like my words, did the best I could
Damn, misunderstood
Intentions good


[Guitar Solo]


It's you and I, just think about it...


[Chorus:]
I should have drove all night
I would have run all the lights
I was misunderstood
I stumbled like my words, did the best I could
I 'm hanging outside your door
I've been here before
Misunderstood


I stumbled like my words, did the best I could
Damn, misunderstood
Intentions good.

Just For fun ^^

I love William Blake's poems and I hope you enjoy them too. ^^ This is my favorite poem: William Blake. 1757–1827

The Tiger

TIGER, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies	5
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?	10
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp	15
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And water'd heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?	20
Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

On tour round Europe

Reporter – We have here on the line direct from Venice, Victoria Brown. As you know, she's one of our best theatre actresses, and right now she and her company are on tour playing Macbeth. Good evening, Victoria!
Victoria – Good evening. I'm talking to you from my dressing room, because I'm on stage in fifteen minutes.
Reporter – Right, it'll be a short interview. Have you ever been on tour before?
Victoria – I've been a couple of times, actually.
Reporter – Which city have you been more successful in?
Victoria – Last week we were in Budapest and we had very good criticism. We haven't been to Paris yet, but I'm sure we'll be a great hit there.
Reporter – Tell me about some of the theatres you've performed in.
Victoria – The most important thing is not the theatre, but the audience. What I really like is the sound of people clapping. I'm happy when our work is worthy of the greatest praise.
Reporter – I'm sure your tour will continue being a box-office success, and I hope you aren't superstitious because, as you may know, today is Friday 13th.
Victoria – I have never been superstitious, and I'm looking forward to going on working with my company successfully.
Reporter – Thanks for your time and congratulations.
