A AULA
Saturday night, Bia went looking for new music. She found Florence + the Machine and pressed play on “Shake It Out.” The voice, the rising music, the sheer drama of it—Bia loved it. She turned the volume up and started reading about the song while it played.
Listen to “Shake It Out” by Florence + the Machine ↗
Florence Welch had described wanting to shake out regrets and the things that haunt you. The song began with that feeling, she said, and grew into something bigger. Bia listened again. This time, the title phrase stayed with her.
It brought her back to the English meeting earlier that week. Bia had shared an idea, then spent days replaying the moment: Had she explained it clearly? Should she have said more? But she had spoken up. Her idea had been heard. She could learn from the meeting without carrying every doubt into the next one.
The music swelled. Bia got up and danced, shouting out the lyrics she recognised. She didn’t stop to check every word or correct herself. She was happy—happy with the music, happy to understand more on the second listen, and proud that she had made herself heard in English.
When the song ended, she played it again. Monday’s meetings could wait. For now, Bia had discovered a new artist, a phrase that spoke to her week, and the pleasure of letting the music take over her room.
