Critics have compared Grande's wide vocal range to that of Mariah Carey. Her accolades include one Grammy Award, one BRIT Award, three American Music Awards, three MTV Europe Music Awards and two MTV Video Music Awards. She has supported a range of charities and has a large following on social media, becoming the most followed woman on Instagram in February 2019. In 2016, Time named Grande as one of the 100 most influential people in the world on their annual list, and in 2018, Billboard named her Woman of the Year.
Grande has cited Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey as her major vocal influences, saying: "I love Mariah Carey. She is literally my favorite human being on the planet. And of course Whitney [Houston] as well. As far as vocal influences go, Whitney and Mariah pretty much cover it." She describes Gloria Estefan as the person who inspired her to pursue a career in the music industry after Estefan complimented a performance she saw Grande give on a cruise ship when she was eight years old.
When I heard that sound
When the walls came down
I was thinking about you
About you
When my skin grows old
When my breath runs cold
I'll be thinking about you
About you
Seconds from my heart
A bullet from the dark
Helpless, I surrender
Shackled by your love
Holding me like this
With poison on your lips
Only when it's over
The silence hits so hard
'Cause it was almost love, it was almost love
It was almost love, it was almost love
When I heard that sound
When the walls came down
I was thinking about you
About you
When my skin grows old
When my breath runs cold
I'll be thinking about you
About you
When I run out of air to breathe
It's your ghost I see
I'll be thinking about you, about you
It was almost love, it was almost...
We bleed ourselves in vain
How tragic is this game?
Turn around, I'm holding on to someone
But the love is gone
Carrying the load, with wings that feel like stone
Knowing that we nearly fell so far now
It's hard to tell
Yeah we came so close, it was almost love
It was almost love, it was almost love
When I heard that sound
When the walls came down
I was thinking about you
About you
When my skin grows old
When my breath runs cold
I'll be thinking about you
About you
When I run out of air to breathe
It's your ghost I see
I'll be thinking about you, about you
I reached out for your hand
When the walls were caving in
But I see you on the other side
We can try all over again
When I heard that sound
When the walls came down
I was thinking about you
About you
When my skin grows old
When my breath runs cold
I'll be thinking about you
About you
When I run out of air to breathe
It's your ghost I see
I'll be thinking about you, about you
'Cause it was almost love, it was almost love
It was almost love, it was almost love
Gloria Gaynor
I Will Survive At first I was afraid I was petrified. Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side. But then I spent so many nights Thinking how you did me wrong. And I grew strong! And I learned how to get along! So now you're back from out of space. I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face. I should have changed that stupid lock! I should have made you leave your key! If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me. Go on now, go, walk out that door! Just turn around now‚ cause you're not welcome any more. Weren't you the one who tried to hurt (crush) me with goodbye? Did I crumble Did I lay down and die Oh no, not I! I will survive! Oh and as long as I know how to love I know I stay alive. I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give. And I'll survive! I will survive! Hey, hey. It took all the strength I had not to fall apart. Kept tryin' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart! And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself. I used to cry! But now I hold my head up high. And you see me somebody new! I'm not that chained-up little person still in love with you. And so you feel like droppin' in, and just expect me to be free, now I'm saving all my loving for someone who is loving me! Go on now...
My whole life waiting for the right time
To tell you how I feel
Know I try to tell you that I need you.
Here I am without you
I feel so lost but what can I do?
'Cause I know this love seems real
But I don't know how to feel.
We say goodbye in the pouring rain
And I break down as you walk away.
Stay, stay.
'Cause all my life I felt this way
But I could never find the words to say
Stay, stay.
Alright, everything is alright
Since you came along
And before you
I had nowhere to run to
Nothing to hold on to
I came so close to giving it up.
And I wonder if you know
How it feels to let you go?
You say goodbye in the pouring rain
And I break down as you walk away.
Stay, stay.
'Cause all my life I felt this way
But I could never find the words to say
Stay,…

For those lucky enough to have summers off, summer’s unstructured, spare hours mean there’s loads of time to concentrate on “wants” instead of “musts”—and if you’re here, it means you want to power up your language skills. Brilliant! Summer,
with its abundance of light-filled hours, warmer days and slower pace,
is oh so casual. And that translates—in any language—to lots less
stress. I don’t know about you, but I definitely learn with less trouble
when I’m not stressing about things. Low stress equals high concentration potential for a lot of us! Many language learning programs are only available during the summer, so if you want to grab the goods from one of those, summer is your only option. Typically, summer programs are geared toward intensive learning.
What does that mean to you, the language learner? Well, it’s great news
because it means many summer courses are designed to help students gain skills more quickly!

I found a love for me
Darling just dive right in
And follow my lead
Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me
'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
But darling, just kiss me slowly, your heart is all I own
And in your eyes, you're holding mine
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight
Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
To carry…
I have been teaching English to speakers of other languages for over 25 years. I have been coaching both face-to-face and in blended learning arrangements. In 2010 I
became a Premium Online English Teacher, since that time I have been specializing in
Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). Utilizing new technologies makes my teaching more efficient and pleasurable.
I highly appreciate an interaction as well as cooperation with my students from Amazing Talker.
Are you nervous about communicating in English with
foreign colleagues?
Do you throw a full command of English, but feel like
your flexibility may be lacking?
Would you like to memorize how to sound more natural
when making little talk and talking about problems?
Do you feel the need to improve your
conversational skills?
If you answered "YES" to any of
these questions, then link up right off!
I give English one to one tutoring classes
as well as ONLINE English Courses.
I realize what YOU need to succeed in
English. I know the essential skills you need to grow to suit an active
communicator in English.
My classes are for students who want to
use a most proficient approach to get fluent in English fast by practicing
English Skills. Training is a subconscious process and is faster than conscious
learning.
Being
able to put across effectively is the most important of all life sciences.
Communication
is merely the act of transferring information from one place to another,
whether this is vocal,written, visually
or non-verbally (using body language, gestures and the tone and pitch of the
voice).
How
well this information can be transmitted and received is a measure of how good
our communication skills are.
Developing
your English communication skills can facilitate all facets of your life, from
your professional heart to social gatherings and everything in between.
Formal methods of learning English exemplify
passive learning with a limited success rate. I steadfastly trust in Active
Learning of English Skills which is much more efficient than passive learning.
These are the main disadvantages of passive English learning
1. The major weakness of passive education is that it splits the language
into different components – reading, writing, listening, grammar, and
pronunciation – which you try to learn separately.
2. When learners are not actively involved in the class, they continue to
think in their native language. Whatever the instructor explains to them, they
try to interpret it in their mother tongue. It gets virtually impossible to
process the information intuitively or spontaneously.
3. Because learners aren’t taught to think in English, they are unable to
communicate in English.
Active learning helps students start
speaking English confidently in less than a year.
Active learning is more than just listening: it involves the active
participation of pupils. They must use the language all the time and be
emotionally involved in the process.
We need the conversion from
Passive Learning to Active Training English Skills
As a language teacher, I use all kinds of
tricks just because making students speak and building their self-confidence in
keeping the conversation going is the most essential for me.
When I teach Polish, my foreigners and I have to speak only Polish, and also my
English classes are run entirely in English. I train without a bridge language.
This means they are required to forget about native language and start talking
as well as intending in a foreign linguistic communication. Thinking in a
foreign language, this is just what I want my learners to achieve.
My students read the words in different contexts, mostly singing phrases,
expressions, collocations, idiomatic expressions, phrasal verbs also telling
tales. Moreover, I inspire them to talk to everybody, even to themselves in a
foreign language. Consequently, theycan communicate as well as discuss
a variety of beautiful narrations.
Many teachers spend most of their time altering each other’s errors.
Nevertheless, I correct only fundamentalerrors, as I
don’t want students to stop talking. I also encourage my learners to listen to
songs, watch movies with subtitles in a language they learn, read a lot and so
forth.
1. The most important is to deliver
comprehensible input. We improve the language when we understand it.
I am very much against the support in the
native language.
2. Learners spend more time
dynamically speaking English when we convert them, for influencing pupils.
I also produce an environment for gaining all language skills – reading,
listening, talking, writing, and pronunciation at the same time. Learners experience everyday situations again entirely
in English.
3. The mobile is an obvious
choice for delivering information. It gives students access to reading material
both in the form of educational activity and after the course of a written report. It covers support for sharing
sessions with friends or teachers, which is essential for digital learners.
The lessons added by a teacher allow building an active connection between everyone.
As a result, I as an English teacher
achieve a perpetual change from passive learning to the active, improving
English skills.
