Rolling In The Deep - Adele Adkins

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch, and it's bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your shit bare
See how I'll leave with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch
And it's bringing me out the dark

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

Baby, I have no story to be told
But I've heard one of you
And I'm gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there
As mine sure won't be shared

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
But you played it with a beating

Throw your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow

(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
We could have had it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
It all, it all, it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

You could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)

But you played it
You played it
You played it
You played it to the beat.

Strategies/steps in answering the listening section on TOEFL test


Concentrate with listening section, structure, writing and reading. Not too focused to learn vocabulary. Learn some new vocabulary can become a useless thing, because sometime it not show on the test. It probably happen, because vocabulary system in English are too big and there’re a thousands word that has probably show on the test. Its better to practice listening and reading because as much as we practice listening, our skill will be good, like listening some English song or watch some HBO movie with or without subtitles.
Practice listening with listen some news or weather report in English on TV or Radio, documentary film and watch some English education on air, it will help us to improve our listening skill. We can join some English club or conversation club or we can join with some people who use American English, because TOEFL is the test that use American English, not British English.

Listening section that use some dialogue (Listening Part B)
  1. read the choice on paper test before we’re listening the dialogue thet not begin yet. It will help us to understand the dialogue.
  2. focuse with the first line of the dialogue. In the first line from the dialogue, it probably the main idea, subject or topics from the dialogue, because it will be asked in different listening section.
  3. when our ears hear the dialogue, in the same times our eyes must see that answer choice on paper test and try to choose a correct answer.
  4. if we not sure with the answer, we must try to guess it. Never make a blank answer, it must be answered. Wrong answer can’t decrease our score, because in TOEFL test, just the right answer will be counted.
  5. if there’re more times after answer the question, read it again for next question. Time interval for every question, its about 8-12 seconds, so use the residue time  for read the answer that we choose.


Listening section that use short dialogue (Listening Part A)
1.       when we hear that short dialogue, we just focuse with the second people or the second line from that dialogue. Sometimes, we can find the answer for that short dialogue in the second line or the second people from that dialogue.
2.       remember. Repeated sentence from the second line on the dialogue it probably the keyword for the right answer. So, watch out for the repeated sentence.
3.       remember for the structure and the expression :
    • restatemerits (Pengulangan Kalimat)
    • negatives sentences (Kalimat Negatives)
    • suggestions (Saran)
    • passives sentences (Kalimat Pasif)
    • conclusions about who and where (Kesimpulan tentang Who/Siapa dan Where/Dimana)
    • expressions of agreement (Ekpresi tentang persetujuan)
  1. the question usually begin from the easiest to the more difficult.
  2. if we not sure with the answer, we must try to guess it. Never make a blank answer, it must be answered. Wrong answer can’t decrease our score, because in TOEFL test, just the right answer will be counted.
  3. even we don’t understand with the question, we can answer it.
    • if we just understand some word from the dialogue on the second line/second people, choose the repeated sentences.
    • If we’re really don’t understand with the dialogue on the second line/second people, choose the answer that has a different/freak sentence when we hear it.
    • Don’t choose the answer that has a same sentence with the expression in the dialogue on the second line.
