JUNE 8, WORLD OCEANS DAY

Today, we' d like you to learn something extremely important from all those people and organisations that are fighting for cleaner oceans. More and more women are into this too.

CLEAN AND HEALTHY OCEANS MEAN LIFE

Have a look at these videos. One of them is in Italian, but is subtitled in English; others are just informing about the importance of this day, and others show what' s really happening in the Oceans.

One more day, One more song

GOTTA BE PATIENT  ( by STAY HOMAS)

Today, I suggest listening to this Spanish band. They are a group of three young Spanish musicians that, like you and me, have to STAY AT HOME due to Coronavirus pandemia.

They share a rented flat and they started uploading their videos to Instagram at the beginning of the quarantine . They write  their own songs about Coronavirus pandemia, and some of their instruments are husehold items: a round plastic bucket, a bowl or a cooking pot lid( tapadera de una olla) are examples of their "instruments". Their "concerts" take place at the little terrace in their flat.


 
THEY HAVE BECOME VIRAL ALL AROUND THE WORLD. This is a very good example of how to MAKE THE MOST OF THIS TIME AT HOME( aprovechar al máximo este tiempo en casa). ENJOY!!

GOTTA = I´VE GOT TO / I HAVE TO(TENGO QUE)          WANNA= WANT TO

One more day, one more song: I FEEL GOOD, by James Brown

"When I hold you in my arms

I know I can't do no wrong..."

Really? Be careful with Coronavirus!

One more day, one more song: COUNT ON ME, by Bruno Mars

Happy Monday!

If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea, 

I'll sail the world to find you 

If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see, 

I'll be the light to guide you 

Find out what we're made of 

When we are called to help our friends in need 

You can count on me like 1 2 3 

I'll be there 

And I know when I need it I can count on you like 4 3 2 

And you'll be there 

Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah 

Wooooh, Wooooh 

Yeah Yeah 

If you toss and you turn and you just can't fall asleep 

I'll sing a song beside you 

And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me 

Every day I will remind you Ohh

 Find out what we're made of 

When we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like 1 2 3 

I'll be there 

And I know when I need it I can count on you like 4 3 2 

You'll be there 

Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah Wooooh, Wooooh 

Yeah Yeah 

You'll always have my shoulder when you cry 

I'll never let go 

Never say goodbye 

You can count on me like 1 2 3 

I'll be there 

And I know when I need it I can count on you like 4 3 2 

You'll be there 

Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah Wooooh, Wooooh 

You can count on me cos' I can count on you
