PALINDROMES

Hello!! Do you know what a "palindrome" is?
A palindrome is a word, phrase, verse, or sentence that reads the same backward or forward. It's really curious. Here I give you an example, so that you can seek more palindromes:

-My palindrome is: "Madam, in Eden I'm Adam"

Who is able to find more? Enjoy it!!! XXX

Every breath you take (Police)

Hi, again!! Do you remember the activity we usually do when we listen to a song in class? First, we listen and then, we write the missing words. We think this song is nice. Maybe, you can know it because nowadays it is the soundtrack on a TV advert. 1, 2, 3, ...start!!


Every breath you take (Police)

Every breath you 1 take
Every move you 2 make
Every bond you 3 break
Every 4 step you take
I’ll be 5 watching you
Every 6 single day
Every 7 word you 8 say
Every 9 game you 10 play
Every 11 night you 12 stay
I’ll be 13 watching you
Oh, can’t you 14 see
You 15 belong to me
How my 16 poor 17 heart aches
With every 18 step you 19 take CHORUS
Every move you 20 make
Every vow you 21 break
Every 22 smile you fake
Every 23 claim you stake
I’ll be 24 watching you
Since you’ve 25 gone
I've been 26 lost without a trace
I 27 dream at 28 night
I can only 29 see your 30 face
I 31 look around but it’s you
I can’t 32 replace
I 33 feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep 34 crying baby, baby, please...
Chorus
Every move you 35 make
Every step you 36 take
I’ll be watching you (4 times)
