Girl on fire – Alicia Keys
She's just a girl, and she's on fire
Hotter than a fantasy. Lonely like a highway
She's living in a world, and it's on fire
Feeling the catastrophe, but she knows she can fly away
Oh, she got both feet on the ground
And she's burning it down
Oh, she got her head in the clouds
And she's not backing down
This girl is on fire. This girl is on fire
She's walking on fire. This girl is on fire
Looks like a girl, but she's a flame
So bright, she can burn your eyes
Better look the other way
You can try but you'll never forget her name
She's on top of the world
Hottest of the hottest girls say
Oh, we got our feet on the ground
And we're burning it down
Oh, got our head in the clouds
And we're not coming down
This girl is on fire. This girl is on fire
She's walking on fire. This girl is on fire
Everybody stands, as she goes by
Cause they can see the flame that's in her eyes
Watch her when she's lighting up the night
Nobody knows that she's a lonely girl
And it's a lonely world
But she gon' let it burn, baby, burn, baby
This girl is on fire. This girl is on fire
She's walking on fire. This girl is on fire
Oh, oh, oh... She's just a girl, and she's on fire

Read: The animals
Today is a beautiful day. I saw some animals in the street. A crazy city. The rabbit passed very
fast for me, it was black, and I was afraid. I walked a little and saw a brown , fat, furious and funny
bear. I saw a fight between a cat and a dog, they were very brave, they were fighting because of food.
A bird flew by sky with the nice feather blue, yellow and red.
Suddenly I listened a shout, and I saw a girl afraid of a mouse; she was very nervous and ran. I
walked very fast; I want to arrive in my house soon. Then I began to run and when I arrived at home I
went to sleep.
