Listen to the song and complete the lyrics with the missing words

If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea
I’ll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can’t see
I’ll be the light to guide you

Find out what we’re made of
What we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like one, two, three
I’ll be there and I know when I need it
I can count on you like four, three, two
And you’ll be there ’cause that’s what friends
Are supposed to do, oh yeah, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah

If you toss and you turn and you just can’t fall asleep
I’ll sing a song beside you
And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me
Everyday I will remind you

Find out what we’re made of
What we are called to help our friends in need

You’ll always have my shoulder when you cry
I’ll never let go, never say goodbye

You can count on me
’cause I can count on you

So, right around 7:40, I wake up to my room being a mess from the night before. I don’t know how this happens, but it’s literally always messy. Then I go downstairs and I pour myself cereal and zumo de piña. Then I do all that morning routine stuff like hair, face washing, tooth brushing, but, honestly, I don’t think that you guys really care about all that. Then I spend a few minutes and attempt to clean my room. Keyword: attempt. Then I get my backpack ready and I’m good to go. And at 8:10, I hear the first bell at my school and that’s usually my cue to start the world’s shortest pool. Honestly, it’s so short, it literally takes me less than a minute to walk over to Instituto de Educación Secundaria Jorge Manrique, my beautiful school.

And — we’re here.

[Speaking Spanish]

These are the people that I usually spend my recreos with. Recreos usually consist of bocadillos de jamon and me and Diego taking selfies. That’s basically it.

[Speaking Spanish]

The day is over.

[Speaking Spanish]

And then I, once again, commute back home. And after walking home from school, I usually have the luxury of being greeted with my clothes nicely folded and my bed nicely made. I don’t deserve this kind of treatment honestly. Then we have lunch, which is usually something really delicious like this. Then for post today, I get a piece of fruit and I do a little bit of studying. My favorite Spanish custom is the siesta. I literally take a nap every single day. After about 2 hours of napping, I change into semi-sporty clothes and I walk on over to the pool, which is also a very short commute as well. So, yeah. Obviously, I’m not going to record inside the locker room or the pool, because that’s awkward. I don’t know if you guys can see me — it’s probably for the better. I just finished swimming and it’s raining and I’m walking home. Yeah.

And by this time of day, my room is somehow messy again. This somehow happens to me every single day.

Int: And for you, a character like this– because a lot of these old tales, I don’t know what you call that. Uhm, fairy tales! This character probably wouldn’t be something would be attractive to you– This character is very strong and different, you know?

Emma: Yeah, no, she is. I mean, Belle singing Belle Reprise, the song she sings after Gaston proposes to her and has every expectation that she will accept, is the ultimate, uhm, it’s kind of a– yeah– one of the most amazing, I think, ever written «I want» songs. It’s– I want more, I want something different, I want beyond what people’s– where people’s expectations of me lie, uhm, I want to see the world, I wish I wasn’t so limited by people’s perceptions of what my life should be like. And, uhm, it’s a killer, it’s a real– I mean, it’s really one of the ultimates. So, doing that scene for me was just a joy.

Jimmy: How old were you, when you started making those movies?

Emma: I was 9.

Jimmy: Nine years old, wow! And– beforehand, did you know about the books? Was that a part of your life?

Emma: Oh my god, it was a huge part of my life.

Jimmy: It was a huge part of your life?

Emma: Yeah. My– yeah.

Jimmy: So, so, and then you get involved in this thing and–little do you know–it would take you all the way to adulthood, which is really crazy. I mean, nobody has that experience.

Emma: No. I mean, yeah, noone goes from the first audition they’ve ever been to in their entire life and then makes those movies for over a decade. That’s–

Jimmy: No, it just does never happen.

Emma: It doesn’t happen to people.

Jimmy: It’s almost like you have magic powers or something.

Emma: Almost.

Jimmy: In a way, literally. Now, there’s a video tape that– I don’t know, somebody here on the show found this. This is like an outtake from the movie.

Emma: Oh yeah?

Jimmy: And, do you– now, I don’t– I want to encourage people to watch… Watch very closely, watch Emma’s lips very closely here, throughout this. Because I– and I’ll ask you to explain this.

Harry: A stone that makes gold and stops you from dying? No wonder Snape’s after it. Anyone would want it.

Ron: Something doesn’t make sense. If all Snape wants is the Sorcerer’s Stone, why did he try and kill you during the Quidditch match?

Jimmy: You’re helping them with their lines!

Emma: I– This– you laugh, this is actually quite traumatic for me, because I created issues because of this.

Jimmy: Oh really?

Emma: Yes.

Jimmy: What issues?

Emma: Because I would ruin takes. Chris would be like «Cut! Emma, you’re doing it again! You’re mouthing– you’re mouthing Dan’s lines.» And I’d be like «Ooh, I’m so sorry! So sorry! Oh, I feel so bad!» But, like, I couldn’t help myself, it was like– I was– I was such a loser, I really loved those books, I really wanted to do my job well and I kind of overdid it.

Jimmy: Don’t worry about it, Guillermo does that with me all the time. When I go off script, he corrects me. You can see, he hides it with his mustache. You know, if you’ve had a mustache, it probably wouldn’t be noticeable to anybody, so–

Emma: Oh. Great.

Jimmy: Well, hey, congratulations on all your success.

Emma: Thank you so much!

Jimmy: And the big movie.

University students in England currently pay £9,000 a year tuition fees; this money pays for the students’ education and doesn’t cover living costs such as rent, food or books. When these other costs are considered, the average English student leaves University with £44,000 of debt.

The left-wing Labour party has just announced that if it wins the General Election in May, the £9,000 tuition fee will be reduced to £6,000 per year. University fees is an important subject in British politics. The last General Election in 2010 was won by the right-wing Conservative party. One of the first things they did was increase university fees to £9,000 per year. Before 2010, university fees were £3,250 per year.

University students in England start to repay their student debt when they find a job after they graduate. If they do not find a job that pays more than £16,910 per year, they do not have to repay their loan.

Interestingly, university fees are different in different parts of the UK. Scottish students who study at a Scottish university do not have to pay tuition fees at all. In Wales university fees are £3,810 per year and in Northern Ireland they are £3,805. English students currently pay three times more than students in other parts of the UK.
