Happy, by Leona Lewis
Some of my students of 3rd of ESO are great fans of Leona Lewis, so I'm dedicating this song to them!
Notice how Leona uses a lot of contractions for common expressions in English, for example:
'cause =Because
gotta= have got to
wanna= want to
tryna= trying to
outta = out of
(This is because prepositions and connectors in English sometimes are pronounced with a weak sound, a sort of weak "a").
Some other linguistic notes:
safe as could be = as safe as possible
So what : (click on this link)

So, what is English made of?
The video below is a poem by the young poet Dizraeli. It is a bit difficult to follow if you don't have a good level, so concentrate only on the written words and on the rhythm of the poem.
In the poem, Dizraeli talks about how English is a language that is used by many different people around the world, in different media, spoken by a lot of people from different countries, and which borrows terms from many different sources.
(a special thanks to the Macmillan Youtube channel!) Ps. You can see the full text of the poem on pdf here
