Irregular Verb Rap


Some teachers are good at rapping; others - myself included - would not even try it... ;-)

Speaking Practice

Dear NI2, 
here's the link to four cards on some of the topics we've studied in class so far. Choose one and get ready for a mini presentation (3-4 minutes) you'll have to do next Wednesday. Work on the vocabulary (of course, pronunciation included), the grammatical constructions, the structure of your text, the linkers you will use to connect the different parts of your presentation.

And have a wonderful long weekend!

Sharing housework

Dear NB2,

here's the video we saw yesterday in class, in case you want to listen to it again. Do you agree that if the couple shares the housework, the risk of divorce is higher? You can write your reactions in the comments.
Have a nice weekend!

Comparative adjectives

Another silly song... ;-) This one to practise comparatives. Fill in the gaps with the missing words, which are comparatives and one irregular superlative. You'll learn an idiom, too: "What doesn't kill you, makes you_________"

You know the bed feels _________
Sleeping here alone
You know I dream in colour
And do the things I want
You think you got ____ ________ of me
You think you had the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Think you left me broken down
Think that I'd come running back
Baby you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong
Chorus
What doesn't kill you makes you ___________
Stand a little ___________
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes you a fighter
Footsteps even _________
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone
What doesn't kill you makes you __________, ___________
Just me, myself and I
(Repeat)
You heard that I was starting over with someone new
They told you I was moving on, and over you
You didn't think that I'd come back
I'd come back swinging
You try to break me but you'll see
Chorus
What doesn't kill you makes you ___________
Stand a little _________
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes you a fighter
Footsteps even _________ 
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone
What doesn't kill you makes you _________, _________
Just me, myself and I
(Repeat)
Thanks to you I got a new thing started
Thanks to you I'm not the broken hearted
Thanks to you I'm finally thinking 'bout me
You know in the end the day you left was just my beginning
In the end...
Chorus
What doesn't kill you makes you _________ 
 Stand a little _________ 
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes you a fighter
Footsteps even _________
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone
What doesn't kill you makes you _________, _________
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you _________ 
Stand a little _________
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
