This project aims to involve our 11-12 years old students in an exchange of emails with different topics such as 

“All about me”, “My school”, “My town and my country” and so on. That gives students the chance to get to know each other with other schools around Europe and learn about similar and different things from neighbouring country in order to practice their writing, reading, speaking and listening skills. We are going to record videos, take photos or PowerPoint presentations to share information with our European friends.

"I Used To Be A Country Singer"

 

I was sittin' in my hotel room, strummin' my old guitar

Not much to do when you're far away, playin' some smokey bar

I was feelin' a little empty and feelin' a little blue

When the maid came in and asked me if she could do my room 

I put down my old guitar and she gave me a smile

She had a crusty voice and a drinker's look, but she had a friendly style

She dusted my room and made my bed and she talked of days gone by

She spoke of when she wooed the men; a tear came to her eye 



And she said

I used to be a country singer

I could sing a mean Patsy Cline

My husband he could yodel like Wilf Carter

Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine 



She told me that her husband died and her son was overseas

I could tell by her eyes and her broken smile she was lonely just like me

She asked me if I'd listen to a tape of when she was young

She said I can't sing now I forgot the words and my voice is almost gone 



And she said

I used to be a country singer

I could sing a mean Patsy Cline

My husband he could yodel like Wilf Carter

Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine 



Oh I cried inside but I couldn't tell if it was for her or for me

So I grabbed my axe and we sang a song in two part harmony

Ever since that day when I'm feelin' down and I can't find a happy tune

I just think if that maid and the feeling she gave, when she came to clean my room 



And she said

I used to be a country singer

I could sing a mean Patsy Cline

My husband he could yodel like Wilf Carter

Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine 



And she said

I used to be a country singer

I could sing a mean Patsy Cline

My husband he could yodel like Wilf Carter

Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine

Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine
