As we have long bank holidays, you'll probably have time to listen and enjoy a song. I have chosen one by The Killers, and I suppose you already know it. It is called Human.
Listen to the song and try to fill in the gaps of the first paragraph of the song. Use the following words: Cut, Eyes, Heart, Kind, Line, Open, Platform, Sometimes
I did my best to notice
When the call came down the ______________(1)
Up to the ________________ (2)of surrender
I was brought but I was __________________(3)
And _________________(4) I get nervous
When I see an _______________(5) door
Close your _________________(6)
Clear your ___________________(7) ____________________(8) the cord
Check your answers and get the whole lyrics at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4jR9P9YJGo (notice the mistake: dancer -not denser).
When you have finished, add a comment on the blog answering the following questions:
a. Do you usually listen to songs in English?
b. Do you learn any vocabulary from songs in English?
c. Write the title of any song you would like to listen in class
Remember to write your name at the end of your comment.
Cheers!

Hello!
ReplyDeleteI've liked this activity, is very entertaining.
It is easy for me because I haven't had any mistakes and I've done it to the first one.
I really like. Although, I try to understand the song and your vocabulary. It's very fun.
Kisses

Hi!
ReplyDeleteI can't listen the song because I'm sitting with Tuda and he put the earphones... If I catch them, he bites me.
The 99% to my songs are in english. I usually write the name of the song in YouTube and put "Lyrics". I learn a lot of vocabulary and if i don't understand anything, I put the translade in YouTube too.
I wish to hear in class any song to Sum 41 (like I'm in to deep), Avril Lavigne (like Innocence) or Jesse McCartney (like How do you sleep?)
I hope that you hear the songs and like to you.
