So, my second task was to talk about my favourite song. After thinking a bit, I realized I don't have any. So, I remembered I heard a really good lyric the other day on the radio. A specific sentence kept me thinking:
"When you love someone and they break your heart, don't give up on love, have faith, restart. Just hold on, hold on".
"When you love someone and they break your heart, don't give up on love, have faith, restart. Just hold on, hold on".
"What a great song!" - I thought. Nowadays we hear a bunch of depressing lyrics with words about feelings like sadness, depression, loneliness and so on. No one tells us what this song is trying to: HOLD ON! Don't freak out! Don't panic! Just hold on!
My mom used to say "No matter what is happening in our lives, things can always get worse". I believe this song has something about this too. It is common to hear that people - specially the young ones - have to fight against problems and dissapointments. But maybe there's another way to struggle this: by just holding on.
So, wondering how the rest of the song goes, I turned to my best Internet friend: Google =). So I googled it.
JONAS BROTHERS!!! That's the name of the band.
This band is conformed by three brothers and have a pop-punk influence. "The brothers say their writing reveals a lifetime of influences—everything from My Chemical Romance to the Backstreet Boys to Weird Al Yankovic. Still, what you really hear on The Jonas Brothers is the sound of three young musicians finding their own voice—their own distinctive blend of Nick’s way with an R&B vocal, Joe’s love of danceable beats and Kevin’s obsession with guitar solos."

So, here's the lyrics and also the YouTube link. I'll try to add this video to "Videos!" Channel, allright?
JONAS BROTHERS - HOLD ON
We don't have time left to regret
It will take more then common sense
So stop your wondering take a stand
Cause there's more to life than just to live
CHORUS
Cause an empty room can be so loud
There's too many tears to drown them out
So hold on, hold on
One single smile a helping hand
It’s not that hard to be a friend
So don't give up stand till the end
'Cause there's more to life than just to live
CHORUS
Cause an empty room can be so loud
There's too many tears to drown them out
So hold on, hold on
There's too many tears to drown them out
So hold on, hold on
When you love someone and they break your heart
Don't give up on love
Have faith restart
Just hold on, hold on
Don't give up on love
Have faith restart
Just hold on, hold on
When it falls apart and you’re feeling lost
All your hope is gone
Don’t forget to
Hold on, hold on
CHORUS (x2)
Cause an empty room can be so loud
There's too many tears to drown them out
So hold on, hold on
When you love someone and they break your heart
When you love someone and they break your heart
Don't give up on love
Have faith restart
Just hold on, hold on
ENJOY!!

I'm glad you like the positive sons as well, I had never heard the Jonas brothers before...they're soooo cute! I watched their video! Your English is very good! The only thing you need to improve is choosing words that match contextually with the sentence. For example, you said in your first paragraph that you "heard a really good lyric." You should've said you heard a really good song or good lyrics to a song. Second example: "But maybe there's another way to struggle this." It sounds awkward to say struggle, you can say "fight this" instead or "struggle against this." Other than those two things, which you can only improve by practicing your English and speaking with native speakers, your English is GREAT!
P.S. If you and Nachi want to meet elsewhere to conduct the discussion activities let me know. I'm available Tuesdays after 1:30pm around campus Macul or Thursday afternoons somewhere downtown...just let me know, ok?
I thought you said Nachi, Diana, and you couldn't meet every Monday so I was willing to have a special discussion session with you three on Tuesday. Otherwise, if you can come on Monday that would be ideal. So, you guys are on strike? I thought the Department of Medicine didn't have strikes?! Well, please keep me informed since I don't want to show up on Monday and find out I'm ALONE!
Well, have a great day!
