”Well, this is a highly trained parrot. If you pull the red string he speaks French; if you pull the green string he speaks German,” replies the shop keeper.

F. Appreciate the English song. It would be better to listen to this tape or CD .
Will this night fulfill all the promises
And bury us in peace
Will it leave us free and forgetful
Or at least bring some sleep
Your eyes don’t catch the little things
As they narrow on your fall
I’m checking your pulse ‘cause you’re so quiet
I’m kissing you but you don’t feel it
Why do you do this to me?
Showing me all that I’m good for
Is to watch you sleep as lifeless as an angel
She was the most beautiful cloud
That ever passed before the face of a girl
Seems like nothing’s too good for this life
Some things are too good for this world
And our names and our faces
Well they’re just spare change
In memory of a soul
Kept dropping spare change
Why won’t you stay?
In memory of a little girl
Who was far too much in love with the world?
And who didn’t really wanna stick around for the end
Why won’t you stay?
G. Listen to the paragraph, trying to find out the stressed words .
“Happy Birthday to You” Where did that song come from?
The story of how the song “Happy Birthday to You” came to be, began as a sweet one, that later soured. Two sisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at the Louisville, Kentucky Experimental Kindergarten, and Dr. Patty Hill, the principal of the same school, together wrote a song for the children, entitled “Good Morning to All.” When Mildred combined her musical talents, as the resident expert on spiritual songs, and as the organist for her church, with her sister’s expertise in the area of Kindergarten Education, “Good Morning to All” was sure to be a success.
??? The sisters published the song in a collection entitled “Song Stories of the Kindergarten” in 1893. Thirty-one years later, after Dr. Patty Hill became the head of the Department of Kindergarten Education at Columbia University’s Teacher College, a gentleman by the name of Robert H. Coleman published the song, without the sisters’ permission. To add insult to injury, he added a second verse, the familiar “Happy Birthday to You.”
??? Mr. Coleman’s addition of the second verse popularized the song and, eventually, the sisters’ original first verse disappeared. “Happy Birthday to You,” the one and only birthday song, had altogether replaced the sisters’ original title, “Good Morning to All.”
??? After Mildred died in 1916, Patty, together with a third sister named Jessica, sprang into action and took Mr. Coleman to court. In court, they proved that they, indeed, owned the melody. Because the family legally owns the song, it is entitled to royalties from it, whenever it is sung for commercial purposes.
