JENNIFER PAIGE - STRANDED LYRICS

You know it only breaks my heart
To see you standing in the dark
Alone waiting there for me to come back
I'm too afraid to show
If it's coming over you

That drags me out to sea
I wanna be with you
If you wanna be with me
Crashing like a tidal wave
I don't want to be

CASTLE

5.- THE OLD CASTLE
Dracula´s castle was very old.
The large, dark rooms were very
cold.
The castle door was strong and wide.
But something scary was there inside.
Dracula´s picture was on the wall.
At the end of the long dark hall.
His eyes were red. His face was white.
His teeth were long and ready to bite.

This hall was long and full of spiders
And the bathrooms were full of lizards.
The cellar was dark and full of bats,
The bedrooms were full of toads and rats.

I was scared of the ghosts and rats,
The toads and bats, the spiders and cats.
And I was all alone that night,
In Dracula´s castle in the pale moonlight.

EGYPT

EGYPT:
The climate of Egypt is mainly hot and dry. Apart from the Valley of the River Nile, which runs through the country from south to north, it consists entirely of desert.
In the summer, the temperature often reaches 45º in the south of the country, and 30º in the north.
In winter, the weather is cooler, and along the north coast it is often cloudy, with occasional rain.
In Cairo it rains on average for three days o year, and in the south of Egypt rain is almost unknown. There are often gentle breezes from the north throughout the year, except during March and April, when a hot, dusty wind blows from the south.

" BREAKFAST "

Full Inglish Breakfast:

Many hotels serve what they call "full English breakfast". First they bring you cereal and fruit juice, then you get egg, bacon and tomato, and then toast and marmalade.

In fact, few people in Britain eat such a big breakfast. It´s more normal to have just one of these things, with a cup of tea or coffe.

Nowadays, a lot of people start the day with muesli or yoghurt.
