Present continuous in English
The present continuous is a way to use verbs declaring a current action.
For example if you do something right now, you will say: "I am doing".
Instead of this, if you do things usually you will use the present as " I do".
Example:
- Something now: "I'm taking the bus to go to the office"
- Something usual: "I take the bus to go to the office everyday in the morning"

Animal Robots
Robots is a wide area in Technology, we know that. Normally, we use to think of a robot as something with human appearance but there are many more applications for robotics.
One of these applications is the creation of artificial animals.
This is not consisting just of assembling mechanical and electronic parts in order to construct an artificial dog or something that looks like a snake but is an emerging branch of Science in which the observation of natural species and robotics engineering get together to create robots that move like an animal, look like and animal, behave like an animal and react like an animal.
Dr. Jeffrey Schank, a psychologist from the University of California has spoken about this in the following terms “In making an artificial organism, you discover new constraints on what it is to be an animal and move around in the environment. I really think there is a lot to be discovered by doing the engineering side along with the science.”
In the following video clip you can observe the artificial mules created for the U.S. Army to help soldiers to carry heavy and bulky objects in missions.
Other applications try to understand and replicate how an animal behave like a robotic fish developed by scientists from Essex University. It’s put through its paces in a special tank at the London Aquarium and it works via sensors and has autonomous navigational control. You can access to the video in Youtube at Robotic Fish in London Aquarium.
Inside Adam Savage’s Cave is a show in which you can see how special effects are done. In the chapter below, you can see how a artificial spider is moving.

Feel in the songs - Lyrics
Katy Perry - Firework
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind
wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel
Feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in?
Do you ever feel already buried deep?
6 feet under screams
But no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
Because there's a spark in you
You just got to ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night
Like the 4th of July
Because baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make them go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make them go "Oh, oh, oh"
You're going to leave 'em falling down
You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe you're reason
Why all the doors are closed
So you could open one
That leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know
You just got to ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July
Because baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make them go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make them go "Oh, oh, oh"
You're going to leave 'em falling down
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through
Because baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make them go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make them go "Oh, oh, oh"
You're going to leave 'em falling down
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Depeche Mode - Dream On
As your bony fingers close around meLong and spindly
Death becomes me
Heaven, can you see what I see?
Hey, you, pale and sickly child
You're death and living reconciled
Been walking home a crooked mile
Paying debt to karma
You party for a living
What you take won't kill you
But careful what you're giving
Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?
Dream on
Dream on
There's no time for hesitating
Pain is ready, pain is waiting
Primed to do it's educating
Unwanted, uninvited kin
It creeps beneath your crawling skin
It lives without, it lives within you
Feel the fever coming
You're shaking and twitching
You can scratch all over
But that won't stop you itching
Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?
Dream on
Dream on
Blame it on your karmic curse
Oh, shame upon the universe
It knows its lines
It's well rehearsed
It sucked you in, it dragged you down
To where there is no hallowed ground
Where holiness is never found
Paying debt to karma
You party for a living
What you take won't kill you
But careful what you're giving
Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?
Dream on
Dream on
Bruno Mars - The Lazy song
Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
Uh, I'm gonna kick my feet up then stare at the fan
Turn the TV on, throw my hands in my pants
Nobody's gon' tell me I can't
I'll be lounging on the couch just chilling in my snuggie
Click to MTV so they can teach me how to dougie
'Cause in my castle I'm the freaking man
Oh yes, I said it I said it
I said it 'cause I can
Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message after the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
Nothing at all, (woo hoo) (woo hoo) (hooooo) nothing at all
Tomorrow I'll wake up, do some P9DX
Meet a really nice girl, have some really nice sex
And she's gonna scream up
This is great
(Oh my god, this is great )
Yeah, I might mess around
And get my college degree
I bet my old man will be so proud of me
But sorry pops, you'll just have to wait
Oh yes, I said it, I said it
I said it 'cause I can
Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
No, I ain't gonna comb my hair
'Cause I ain't going anywhere
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I'll just strut in my birthday suit
And let everything hang loose
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
Nothing at all
woohoo woohoo oooo
Nothing at all
woohoo woohoo oooo
Nothing at all
Muse – Feeling good
Birds flying high you know how I feelSun in the sky you know how I feel
Reeds driftin' on by you know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
Blossom in the tree you know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when the day is done
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me
Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
One republic – Counting stars
[Chorus:]Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Yeah, we'll be counting stars
[Verse 1]
I see this life
Like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
In my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and ye shall find
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
I feel something so right
By doing the wrong thing
And I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
[Chorus:]
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
[Verse 2:]
I feel the love
And I feel it burn
Down this river every turn
Hope is our four letter word
Make that money
Watch it burn
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
And I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly
[Chorus:]
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
Oh, oh, oh.
[Bridge 4x:]
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I learned
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
[Chorus:]
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
[Outro 4x:]
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I learned
Calvin Harris – Feel so good
I feel so close to you right nowIt's a force field
I wear my heart upon my sleeve, like a big deal
Your love pours down on me, surrounds me like a waterfall
And there's no stopping us right now
I feel so close to you right now
(dance beat plays) x3
I feel so close to you right now
It's a force field
I wear my heart upon my sleeve, like a big deal
Your love pours down on me, surrounds me like a waterfall
And there's no stopping us right now
I feel so close to you right now
(dance beat plays)
And there's no stopping us right now
And there's no stopping us right now
And there's no stopping us right now
I feel so close to you right now.....
