There are times ..... when we've got problems pronouncing certain words in English. That usually happens with long words where we find ourselves "lost" in trying to pronounce them.
This might help you. Our generation, those who were born in the 60 and 70s, owe music groups such as Supertramp part of our English knowledge.
Therefore I will like to share it with you. This is the link, and it's been followed by the lyrics. After that try to sing it along.......

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
clinical, intellectual, cynical.
There are times when all the world's asleep,
the questions run too deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.
Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
acceptable, respectable, presentable, a "vegtable"!
At night, when all the world's asleep,
the questions run so deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.
In my opinion this is the best song that i have never listened tu represante the real situation of an adult person!
ReplyDeleteThe first time that i listened it, didn´t cause me anything because i was doing a english school activity but the second one, the third one and more it cause me a especial situation in my main that it did me to think about adult situations
Of course that is a very good song to study english words pronunciation!!!
In my opinion this song reflect how the children think that everything in their lifes are easy and funny but when they grow up they realized that the life is not as easy as they thought, all is more difficult.
ReplyDeleteAlso this song try to say that the people have to enjoy their lifes in order to be happy

ReplyDeleteThis song, which is sung by supertramp, speaks about how things change as time goes by, about how things get more complicated and about how they try to make us be the same, avoiding the diference, and making us reach to the point where we don´t even know who we are, or where we come from.
It means that first, you're young and when you become older the life become harder than when you were a child were.

ReplyDeleteThe song tell us that when we are a child,everything seems easy and wonderful.We dont give importance to the things,we have everything done,we dont have to strive for nothing.
But when we grow,everything is complicated.All becomes more difficult.We have to fight for the things we want to get ahead.
I think that the song is right. When you grow up all the things change and the world that we kown in our childhood desapeared. People try to make us be someone that we are not, saying us how to be a good person, but they don´t let us be ourself.
ReplyDeleteThis song expresses how easy is to be a child because you don´t have to think about the important things of the life and when you get older you realize that being an adult it´s not as easy as it seems.

The song speaks about the life when you are young and how it changes and become harder when you are an adult.

I agree with the song. When we were little all was very easy ando funy but we are growing and now we aren't children so, we have more problems and responsabilities. We have to know to live with these problems.
ReplyDeleteBorja Vergara
When you are a child things, and life are not important.You live in a "bubble" and you don't mind about anything.
ReplyDeleteBut when you start getting older, problems come to you and you look how real life is, you have to fight everyday versus all the things that can you hurt
Telmo Antúnez Galardi
This song is one of the legendary songs of Supertramp. It speaks of the changes that the passage of time make in people.
ReplyDeleteWhen they were young everything was wonderful but when they start gettin older they realize they are pushed to learn and to think in a specific way, and the only thing left is to think the way they want when they are alone.
In my opinion this song reflects the good side of being a child.You have no worries because you live in a dream world.But when you grow up you realize that life is not as great as in the movies,problems and dificulties appeared and you have to solve them by yourself

This song reflects the changes we suffer by the time we are growing up. It speaks about how a child can live without any worry and then this type of live change because we've got new responsabilities and new problems to solve without any help.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard this song before, and i think that this song is one of the best songs i have ever heard.
ReplyDeleteIt speaks about how the life is easy when we are children, we live without worries and we enjoy it very much.
But when we grow up the life changes, and it became more difficult, we have to learn some values like being dependable, practical etc.
But what is the most important on our lifes, to be a polite person and know how you have to behave or be happy?
In my opinion is not the first one or the second one.
It had to be a mixture of both, so we have to be happy but also polite people.
Pablo Cruz
This song speak about the easy thing that it is to be a child, and the difficult thing that is become an adult, since the problems are increasing and complicating ... I have liked, because I believe that it is true, and that it happens to all in some moment of our life.
ReplyDeleteIt is a famous song , the song speaks about the diferences between the life when you are a child and when you are old. The children think the life is wonderful , all of they see is new for them, when you are old you have more problems .
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonderful song!
As far as i am concerned, this song speaks about how the life changes a long as we grow. Firsty, all is very easy and funny but then we have to defy many problems which can solve or destroy our lifes.
ReplyDeleteborja juanena
This song explains the change between the chilhood and the youth.
ReplyDeleteWhen you are a child you think that everything is wonderful but when you get old you realized that the life isn´t wonderful; you have problems and responsabilities.
Paula Aranzabal
What Roger Hodgson says in this song is related with people's feelings during the life.
ReplyDeleteWhen we are children everything is easy and you can describe life with just positive adjectives. But when we grow up we realize that life is more than play and have fun, that there are obligations and responsibilities that it isn't easy to fulfill and that there are many things that can hurt you.
Carmen Sarasola
What this song means is connected to people´s life. When you´re a child you only want to play with your friends and watch tv but while you´re getting older you´ve to focus on more important thigs, make more responsible and you´ve more obligations to fulfill. And of course there are some times that you´re deppresed but the life shows you who to overcome this bad moments in your life.
ReplyDeleteIñigo Romero
the song sais that when you are a child everything is nice and beautiful, but when you grow up all the problems and responsibilities make the life more hard than in the childhood.
