Feel free to watch the promised videoclip "red alert" by Basement Jaxx, the house music group that appears in the textbook. Enjoy it and, for bonus marks, what is the meaning of "ain't"?
Basement Jaxx RED ALERT
And talking about enjoying something: "enjoy the silence" is a precious song by Depeche Mode. Here you have the link to a youtube video with the lyrics. And remember, if what you are going to say is not more beautiful than silence, do not say it.
I remind you that you have the contents of the exam in the school intranet.

By the way, congratulations Maria Gómez and Marina Gómez once again.
As I told you in class (1st BTX) this is the poem that made me discover the wonders of poetry. When inspiration doesn't come, when words don't come out, read it, and hopefully you'll find the same joy I did.
Loving in truth, and fain in verse my love to show,
That she (dear She) might take some pleasure of my pain:
Pleasure might cause her read, reading might make her know,
Knowledge might pity win, and pity grace obtain;
I sought fit words to paint the blackest face of woe,
Studying inventions fine, her wits to entertain:
Oft turning others' leaves, to see if thence would flow
Some fresh and fruitful showers upon my sun-burned brain.
But words came halting forth, wanting Invention's stay,
Invention, Nature's child, fled step-dame Study's blows,
And others' feet still seemed but strangers in my way.
Thus, great with child to speak, and helpless in my throes,
Biting my truant pen, beating myself for spite--
"Fool," said my Muse to me, "look in thy heart and write."
