Description of a famous person

OMI: "Cheerleader"

When I need motivation My one solution is my queen Because she stay strong yeah She is always in my corner Right there when I want her All these other girls are tempting But I'm empty when you're gone and they say... Do you need me? Do you think I'm pretty? Do I make you feel like cheating? And I'm like no, not really because... Oh, I think that I found myself a cheerleader She is always right there when I need her (bis) She walks like a model She grants my wishes like a genie in a bottle Because I'm the wizard of love And I got the magic wand All these other girls are tempting But I'm empty when you're gone and they say... Do you need me? Do you think I'm pretty? Do I make you feel like cheating? And I'm like no, not really because... Oh, I think that I found myself a cheerleader She is always right there when I need her (bis) She gives me love and affection Baby, did I mention you're the only girl for me? No, I don't need a next one Mama loves you too She thinks I made the right selection Now all that's left to do Is just for me to pop the question Oh, I think that I found myself a cheerleader She is always right there when I need her (bis)

Cuando necesito motivación, mi única solución es mi reina, porque ella permanece fuerte, sí. Siempre está en mi esquina (como en el boxeo), justo ahí, cuando yo quiero. Todas esas otras chicas, son tentadoras, pero yo estoy vacío cuando te marchas y ellas dicen... ¿Me deseas? ¿Crees que soy bonita? ¿Hago que te apetezca engañar a tu chica? Y yo digo, no, en realidad no, porque... Oh, creo que (yo solito) encontré una animadora (porrista), ella está siempre ahí, cuando la necesito. (bis) Camina como una modelo, concede mis deseos como un genio en una botella, porque yo soy el mago del amor, y tengo la varita mágica. Todas esas otras chicas, son tentadoras, pero yo estoy vacío cuando te marchas y ellas dicen... ¿Me deseas? ¿Crees que soy bonita? ¿Hago que te apetezca engañar a tu chica? Y yo digo, no, en realidad no, porque... Oh, creo que encontré una animadora, ella está siempre ahí, cuando la necesito. (bis) Ella me da amor y afecto, cariño, ¿mencioné que tú eres la única chica para mí? No, no necesito una siguiente chica, mamá también te quiere, piensa que hice la elección correcta. Ahora, todo lo que queda por hacer, es solo que yo te proponga matrimonio. Oh, creo que encontré una animadora, ella está siempre ahí, cuando la necesito. (bis)

Level A2_Reading Homework ll

A day in the life of Paula Radcliffe - Marathon Runner

8.30am 
Sometimes, my daughter Isla wakes me and my husband, Gary, up, or, more often, we wake her up. After I get up, I always check my pulse. It's usually 38-40 beats per minute. If it is too high, I rest for the day. It's so important to listen to my body. I have a drink and a snack while giving Isla her breakfast.

9.30am 
We take Isla to nursery and then I start my training. I run, and Gary rides his bike next to me and gives me drinks. Four times a week, I have a cold bath or go for a swim in a lake after training.

12.30pm 
I pick up Isla from nursery and we go home and I eat a big lunch of cereal and fruit. Then I have rice and salmon, or toast and peanut butter. I try to eat as soon as possible after training. After lunch, I play with my daughter.

2pm 
I have a nap in the afternoon, and Gary usually takes Isla out while I sleep. When I wake up, I have a drink and a snack while Isla has milk. I eat a lot during the day, especially bananas and dark chocolate.

5pm 
I go running again. In total, I run about 145 miles every week. I write about all my runs in my training journal. I record everything, including how I feel and what the weather is like. I train hard every other day, go on an extra long run every four days and rest every eighth day.

7pm 
In the evening, I do my exercises. These keep me strong during long runs. Isla likes to climb on me while I stretch. Gary gives Isla her tea and cooks mine while I finish my exercises. Then I finish cooking dinner while Gary gives Isla her bath. 

7.30pm 
Gary and I eat our dinner. I have red meat four times a week with rice, pasta or potatoes, and lots of vegetables. We also eat a lot of stir-fries, because they're quick and healthy.

8pm 
We put Isla to bed and relax. I check my emails and watch TV or chat with Gary. I love police and hospital dramas!

10.30pm 
Time for bed. As I brush my teeth, I stand on one leg and then the other. This keeps my legs strong.  I enjoy reading, but I haven’t read much since Isla was born.

Reading Homework 1

Banks are places where people can keep their money. Most people use banks to save money in their savings accounts and to pay money from their checking accounts. Today, when a person earns money from their job, their paycheck is often electronically deposited (put) into their savings or checking account. Then, he or she can pay their bills by writing checks from their checking accounts or pay online where their bills are electronically connected to their bank accounts.

Banks also give loans to people. Banks use the money that their customers deposit to lend to people to buy new houses, cars, or to start businesses among other reasons. The bank makes money from lending by charging interest. In other words, people have to pay back more than they borrowed. This amount depends on how risky the bank thinks the borrower is and how fast the loan is paid back among other things.

1. How do banks make money?

1.   Saving their customers deposits
2.   Charging interest to those they lend to
3.   By having a lot of accounts
4.   Electronically

2. How much "interest" do borrowers have to pay?

1.   It depends on a lot of things.
2.   Everyone pays the same amount of interest.
3.   Most borrowers don't have to pay interest.
4.   The story doesn't say.

3. What do banks NOT do?

1.   Allow people to pay bills online from their accounts
2.   Charge interest
3.   Give loans
4.   Tax people

4. How does "interest" work?

1.   Banks require people to pay back money they borrowed very quickly.
2.   Banks require people to pay back more money than they borrowed.
3.   Banks require people to pay back the same amount they borrowed.
4.   Banks pay people more money than they borrowed.
