### 12-5: Song "On the Streets"
#### 1. How does the picture make you feel? How can it be related to the song?
* **Answer:**
The picture makes me feel sad, sympathetic, and concerned. It shows a homeless person sitting alone on the street, which is directly related to the theme of the song — the difficulties, loneliness, and dangers faced by people who have nowhere to live and need our care.
#### 2. How does the singer feel for those living on the streets?
* **Answer:**
The singer feels deep empathy, compassion, and concern for homeless people. The singer believes that they are people just like everyone else (*"they are just like you and me"*) who have faced misfortune and desperately need help, warmth, and attention (*"They need our help, they need our care"*).
#### 3. THINK! Imagine yourself living on the streets. What would it be like?
* **Answer:**
Living on the streets would be terrifying and exhausting. It would mean constantly feeling freezing cold, hungry, and unsafe without anywhere private or warm to rest. The worst part would probably be the psychological burden: feeling completely invisible, isolated, and rejected by society.

Yes, the singer strongly suspects and hopes that other intelligent life exists in the vast universe (*"Could other life exist? Perhaps they've sent us messages"*, *"I hope we'll meet someday"*), although there is no definite proof yet.
#### 3. THINK! If you could choose to live on another planet, which one would you choose? Why?

If I had to choose, I would choose Mars. It is the most explored terrestrial planet in our solar system and scientists believe it has resources like frozen water. Living in a futuristic Martian colony with a dome city and lower gravity would be an exciting scientific adventure.
#### Proverbs (Task 4)

* **The more one knows, the less one believes.**
*Meaning & Discussion:* Gaining deep knowledge and scientific understanding makes a person more critical and skeptical, preventing them from blindly accepting unproven claims or superstitions.
* **There are two sides to every question.**
