Egypt in January 2011





"Walk Like an Egyptian" by the Bangles from Different Light

All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance don't you know
If they move too quick (oh whey oh)
They're falling down like a domino

All the bazaar men by the Nile
They got the money on a bet
Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette

Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian

Blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They've got the moves (oh whey oh)
You drop your drink then they bring you more

All the school kids so sick of books
They like the punk and the metal band
When the buzzer rings (oh whey oh)
They're walking like an Egyptian

All the kids in the marketplace say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian

Slide your feet up the street bend your back
Shift your arm then you pull it back
Life is hard you know (oh whey oh)
So strike a pose on a Cadillac

If you want to find all the cops
They're hanging out in the doughnut shop
They sing and dance (oh whey oh)
Spin the clubs cruise down the block

All the Japanese with their yen
The party boys call the Kremlin
And the Chinese know (oh whey oh)
They walk the line like Egyptian

All the cops in the doughnut shop say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian

Another Survey and a Grammar Quiz

Tonight we have to complete information for our school. Please complete this survey. This is necessary for us to receive the money that we get from the government. The government wants to know if students' lives improve as a result of studying English.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some students have told me that they expected and wanted some grammar practice. I need to know what you know and what you need to learn. Here are some grammar quizzes, for you to do. You can work alone, or you can work with a partner. Answer all the questions, then click "Check my answers!". Write your result BEFORE you click "OK".
