Song

Beautiful  CHRISTINA AGUILERA

Don't look at me


Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, it's hard to breathe
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the fame, I'm so ashamed



I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way

Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today

To all your friends, you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone and the puzzle undone
That's the way it is

You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words won't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words won't bring you down
Don't you bring me down today...

No matter what we do 
(no matter what we do)
No matter what they say 
(no matter what they say)
When the sun is shining through
Then the clouds won't stay

And everywhere we go 
(everywhere we go)
The sun won't always shine 
(sun won't always shine)
But tomorrow will find a way 
All the other times

We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down
We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words can't bring us down
Don't you bring me down today

Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today.

Knowing about Rafael Nadal’s Diet


Nadal’s diet is called Paleo diet. It’s not difficult to follow because it is basically just eating real food that grows naturally. This diet is based on the foods consumed by our ancient ancestors of the Paleolithic Era, some two thousand five hundred years ago. Rafael’s diet consists of eating lean meats, fowl (that’s bird meat like chicken or turkey), seafood, vegetables, fruits, and nuts. The diet is well balanced and nutritional. Other items in the diet should be grains, eggs, fruit, vegetables, insects, nuts, seeds, mushrooms, herbs and spices.


ACTIVITY: Compare Nadal's diet with yours. Are they similar/ different? 
Now, write about your diet.
