I'd like to build the world a home. That would be a BIG house! Can you do that? A home is not necessarily a building, it can be where people feel they belong. 3 What would you put in this home? I would furnish it with love. You are kidding me, right? You asked me and that is my answer.4 What kind of bees make honey? Duh! Honey bees do. 5 Are turtles white in your country? No, but turtle doves are white. 7 What metaphor could be used for getting people to "get along"? I'd like to teach the world to sing, in harmony. 8 Does harmony have two meanings? Yes, it means a type of singing and a kind of agreement. 9 Do you wish to hold all Americans in your arms? As a metaphor for comfort and friendship, yes I would. 12 Does hand-in-hand mean harmony. No, I think it means more a sign of close friendship. 13 When you hear your voice come back to you, what is that called? It is called an echo. 15 Do you really hear the song? Yes, I do, in my heart and dreams. Really? Yes, really. My mind can hear too. Is song a left brain or right brain technique for language learning? It is both.
