I always remember my English eight grade teacher. Her name is Cecilia; our class was part of a project that she had. She made us sing song and copy our favorite song will listen to the radio. She wanted us to try speaking English at all times. We were the only group with walkmans, we were so cool, and she wanted us to listen to music in English and them recite our favorite part and sing the chorus. I wanted to be like her, so American.
