Survive


We talked about the word, "survive."   It means live when it's difficult to live.  It can also mean barely live.  In the next song, "Don't just survive" means do more than barely live, try to live well.

Formal English for texting "Tryna" = "is trying to."  "Gonna" ="is going to" "Gotta" = "got to"


When my students mention good, repetitive songs, I like to put them up here.  This version is written better than Gloria Gaynor's video.  Don't spend a lot of time on the grammar of this next song just yet.  Just try to relax, repeat, and keep up!!



Did you ever see "Cast Away?"  Do you have any favorite books or movies about survival?  Write about it!!
