Farewell angelina the bells of the crown are being stolen by bandits i must follow the sound the triangle tingles and the trumpets play slow farewell angelina the sky is on fire and i must go there's no need for anger there's no need for blame there's nothing to prove ev'rything's still the same just a table standing empty by the edge of the sea farewell angelina the sky is trembling and i must leave the jacks and the queens have forsaked the courtyard fifty-two gypsies now file past the guards in the space where the deuce and the ace once ran wild farewell angelina the sky is folding i'll see you in a while

see the cross-eyed pirates sitting perched in the sun shooting tin cans with a sawed-off shotgun and the neighbors they clap and they cheer with each blast farewell angelina the sky's changing color and i must leave fast king kong, little elves on the rooftops they dance valentino-type tangos while the make-up man's hands shut the eyes of the dead not to embarrass anyone farewell angelina the sky is embarassed and i must be gone the machine guns are roaring the puppets heave rocks the fiends nail time bombs to the hands of the clocks call me any name you like i will never deny it farewell angelina i must go where it's quiet

11th form

A first approach to test 3

Comprehension: Test three will include a text on marketing directed to teenage girls. The teacher will provide some more information on this issue, along the following lessons. Here goes a short excerpt of the selected text

Often, teenage girls are marketed to with movie or music stars that are much older than they are and often portrayed in ways that are sometimes overtly sexual or just more adult. While using prominent stars is appealing, it doesn't always ring true. It is okay to include some older stars (teens like to feel more adult), but also include some things that still have a teenage feel to them. Find a balance.

Structure: Causative use of “to have”; Third conditional; Inversion if the subject.

Production: teens and marketing; strategies to magnetize teenagers: types of advertising; Publicity on TV - pros and cons.
