Easy Exercises : Horsing around
They say that dogs are man�s best friends. They should add horses
to the list as well. Horses can be found rounding up cattle, racing
around a track and taking their owners on leisurely treks through the
woods. They�ve been around for centuries and people are still riding
them. Take a look at the photographs and answer the questions that
follow.
Karaoke Korner : Word on the
street
It looks like Nelly�s lost his girl to another man and, while he
used to be the �other man� in a relationship (i.e. a man in an affair
with
a woman who already has a
boyfriend), he seems to have turned over a new leaf. Now Nelly
sees his girlfriend with a new man and he doesn�t like it. Luckily for him, the
last verse shows that perhaps the girl is starting to forgive him and they may
get back together.
