Women’s rights convention – Sojourner Truth
One of the most unique and interesting speeches of the convention was made by Sojourner Truth, an emancipated slave. It is impossible to transfer it to paper or convey any adequate idea of the effect it produced upon the audience. Those only can appreciate it who saw her powerful form, her whole-souled, earnest gesture, and listened to her strong and truthful tones. She came forward to the platform and addressing the President said with great simplicity:
"May I say a few words?" Receiving an affirmative answer, she proceeded: I want to say a few words about this matter. I am a woman's rights. I have as much muscle as any man and can do as much work as any man. I have plowed and reaped and husked and chopped and mowed, and can any man do more than that? I have heard much about the sexes being equal. I can carry as much as any man, and can eat as much too, if I can get it. I am as strong as any man that is now. As for intellect, all I can say is, if a woman has a pint, and a man a quart -- why can't she have her little pint full? You need not be afraid to give us our rights for fear we will take too much; -- for we can't take more than our pint will hold. The poor men seem to be all in confusion, and don't know what to do. Why children, if you have woman's rights, give it to her and you will feel better. You will have your own rights, and they won't be so much trouble. I can't read, but I can hear. I have heard the bible and have learned that Eve caused man to sin. Well, if a woman upset the world, do give her a chance to set it right side up again. The Lady has spoken about Jesus, how he never spurned woman from him, and she was right. When Lazarus died, Mary and Martha came to him with faith and love and besought him to raise their brother. And Jesus wept and Lazarus came forth. And how came Jesus into the world? Through God who created him and the woman who bore him. Man, where was your part? But the women are coming up blessed be God and a few of the men are coming up with them. But man is in a tight place, the poor slave is on him, woman is coming on him, he is surely between a hawk and a buzzard.

This question must be answered by looking at
the following sentence from Text 1:
“May I say a few words?”
We may keep the sentence grammatically correct
by substituting “May” for:
Cow Threat
Cows are walking machines. They transform materials (grass, hay, water, and feed) into finished products (milk, beef, leather, and so on).
As any factory, cows produce waste. Solid waste is eliminated through the rear end of these ‘complex machines’, and it is used as fertilizer.
The fermentation process in their four stomachs produces gas. These walking machines have two chimneys: one in the front end, and other in the rear end. Gaseous emissions through the front end chimney are called burps. Cows burp a lot. Every minute and half these burps release methane gas. Methane is dangerous to the planet because it contributes to the greenhouse effect.
The world population is growing very fast. That means there are more people eating beef. Consequently, there is more cattle – more walking machines – producing more methane gas.
This is the problem, but very few people want to change their eating habits. What about you?
Analyze the sentences according to structure and grammar use.
1. The words they and their, in bold in the text, are object pronoun and possessive adjective, respectively.
2. The negative form of: “These walking machines have two chimneys”, is “These walking machines haven’t two chimneys”.
3. The underlined word in the following sentence: “These walking machines” is a gerund form.
4. The word release is synonym of discharge.

JANUARY 18, 2015 - DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
“Let’s go, Open your eyes, Open your mind to her dream. Let’s go, fight for what’s right, fight for her life."
Carl & the Reda Mafia, a young, dynamic, award-winning Dubai band, wrote the song “Fight for Your Queen” as a direct call to men to fight for gender equality. As they told UN Women: “HeForShe is a movement we have looked up to since its inception. The idea of ____________’s rights is something we truly believe in and support.” Lead singer Carl Frenais, who is from India, introduced the campaign to the band. He has been very passionate about fighting against the horrifyingly violent crimes against women in his home country.
We got over 500 men to pledge to support the movement. Even those who were afraid told us they support it.

Inside the world's quietest room
A man stepped onto the overnight train and told the conductor, “I need you to wake me up in Philadelphia. I'm a deep sleeper and can be angry when I get up, but no matter what, I want you to help me make that stop. Here's $100 to make sure".
The conductor agreed. The man fell asleep, and when he awoke he heard the announcement that the train was approaching New York, which meant they had passed Philadelphia a long time ago. Furious, he ran to the conductor. “I gave you $100 to make sure I got off in Philadelphia, you idiot!" “Wow," another passenger said to his traveling companion. “Is that guy mad!" “Yeah," his companion replied. “But not half as mad as that guy they forced off the train in Philadelphia."

A música “Hunting High and Low” foi um dos grandes sucessos da banda norueguesa A-ha na década de 80. Leia a letra da canção e responda a questão.
Hunting High and low
(Paul Waaktaar-Savoy)
Here I am
And within the reach of my hands
She sounds asleep
And she's sweeter now
Than my wildest dream
Could have seen her.
And I watch her sleeping away
But I know I'll be
Hunting high and low
Ah, there's no end
To the lengths I'll go to
Find her again
Upon this my dreams are depending
Through the dark
I sense the pounding of her heart
Next to mine
She's the sweetest love
I could find
So I guess I'll be
Hunting high and low
Do you know what it means
To love you
I'm hunting high and low
And now she's telling me
She's got to go away
I'll always be hunting high and low
Only for you
Watch me tearing myself to pieces,
Oh, for you I'll be hunting high and low
