A last minute idea that perhaps could be used in your oral exam!
Rihanna’s latest hit « American Oxygen » can be used to illustrate several notions –
Myths and heroes – the American dream: is it a myth or does it really exist? Martin Luther King….
Spaces and exchanges – immigration and the American dream. What makes people want to live in the USA?
Idea of progress – the civil rights movement and how life has changed for black people in the USA, space technology, pollution,
Places and forms of power – terrorism (twin towers), wars and the anti-war movement, riots, gun power
The lyrics:
Breathe in, this feeling
American oxygen
I say, you see, this is the American Dream
Young girl, hustlin’
On the other side of the ocean
She can be anything at all
America, America
I should, come see
Just close your eyes and breathe
Breathe out, breathe in
American oxygen
Every breath I breathe
Chasin’ this American Dream
We sweat for a nickel and a dime
Turn it into an empire
Breathe in, this feeling
American, American oxygen
American oxygen
Breathe in, this feeling
American oxygen
Breathe in, this feeling
American oxygen
You say, you see, this is the American Dream
Young boy, hustlin’
Tryna get the wheels in motion
But he can be anything at all
America, America
I say, can’t see
Just close your eyes and breathe
Breathe out, breathe in
American oxygen
Every breath I breathe
Chasin’ this American Dream
We sweat for a nickel and a dime
Turn it into an empire
Breathe in, this feeling
American, American oxygen
American oxygen
This is the new America
We are the new America
This is the new America
We are the new America
This is the new America
We are the new America
Breathe out, breathe in
American oxygen
Every breath I breathe
Chasin’ this American Dream
We sweat for a nickel and a dime
Turn it into an empire
Breathe in, this feeling
American, American oxygen
American oxygen
This is the new America
We are the new America
This is the new America
We are the new America
This is the new America
We are the new America

Anglais pour le BAC 
Je viens juste de découvrir ce site et personnellement, j’adore ! Ça fait plaisir de voir que des personnes sont dévouées afin d’aider les candidats au BAC en créant un site consacré à l’oral d’Anglais.
Mais j’aurais juste une question (qui peut paraître absurde mais je préfère en être sûre…) Avons-nous le droit d’utiliser un document autre que les documents utilisés en classe ? Puisque nous devons apporter la liste de BAC et le dossier que l’on doit donner à l’examinateur, je me demande donc si c’est autorisé. Surtout si il s’agit d’une chanson…
Sur ce merci et encore une fois bravo !
alors si il faut apporter la liste des documents vus en cours c’est mieux d’utiliser ces documents là – mais vous pouvez rajouter un document trouvé par vous même
