'Candle in the wind' - 'Świeca na wietrze'

'Candle in the wind' is Elton John's song written in 1973. The original version was dedicated to Marilyn Monroe who died in 1962. In 1997 the singer wanted to pay homage to Princess Diana, tragically departed in a car crash in Paris. Mr John decided to change the song's lyrics and the style of interpretation. The song was sung live during Princess Diana's funeral. This version of the song was released as a single, and reached No. 1 in many countries, achieving much greater success than the original.

Try to complete the lyrics.

  2. Dzięki za te wszystkie pomoce naukowe, które świetnie przydają mi się w nauce j. angielskiego. Mam zamiar też nie długo zapisać się na indywidualny kurs w szkole językowej https://lincoln.edu.pl/. Słyszałam, że takie kursy na prawdę dużo dają i można dzięki nim szybko przyswoić sobie j. obce. Przeważnie prowadzone są w małych grupach przez co nauczyciel może efektowniej przekazywać wiedzę studentom.

  3. W sumie nauka języków obcych z piosenek to także jest jakiś sposób. Jak dla mnie najbardziej skuteczną metodą do tej pory jest uczenie się z aplikacji https://www.jezykiobce.pl/52-aplikacje gdyż akurat te rzeczy mogę mieć zawsze przy sobie.
