I will love you either way (Warning-this song is sad. For me it's not okay if my love leaves.)

 either way=both of the choices are fine.  You can choose to go or to stay.  It will be okay.

Exclamations!

 Many people show strong emotion by using what or how with NO verb!  

It's very common to hear "What a beautiful day!" on a warm, sunny day like today!


Did you see anything that makes you want to say, "What a beautiful...." or "What a difficult" or "What an ugly..?"  What did you see?  What can you say with what?

Sacrifice

 A sacrifice is giving up something valuable in order to get something better.  Chess players often sacrifice good pieces for a better position or to win a game. Parents often sacrifice for their children.


Do you play any games?  Did you ever sacrifice anything to get a goal?  Write about it if you want to.

Do you know anyone with a cold, cold heart?  Describe that person.

We are the World

 Thank you, Yen!  This song is clear and appropriate for us, but I have not used it for several years.

The person who made this video missed a LOT of apostrophes. (apostrophe = ')  Can you write some of the words that are not correct in the comments?


Please answer questions on paper or in the comments:

Did you meet a new person from another country today?  Who? What country?  What do you know about that country?  Where are you from? What do you want people to know about your country?  Where is your favorite place to travel to?
