ALL YOU CAN EAT
by FAT BOYSGrammar: Imperatives, a/an, some
Vocabulary: food
Communication skills: ordering food
Level: Elementary♫ CD track 1
Teacher’s notes
1. Ask your students what English words for food they
know (you may make a sort of an auction: the one who says
the last word is a winner).
2. Announce to your students that they are going to
have a real challenge (it really is because of speech speed and
a huge number of colloquial words). They are going to listen
to a rap-song trying to find any ‘food words’ they can. Explain
the plot of the song: three friends were having a big lunch in
a café. Also ask your class to find out how much they were going to pay ($ 3.99). 3. Play the song (playing the video clip for the first presentation is even more preferable, YouTube link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDPk6OQkpeI. Then discuss the results and impression.
3. Give out the worksheets. Do ex. 1. Check the answers.
4. Play the song for the second time and let the students do ex. 2. Then students can check their
answers in pairs.
5. Play the song again pausing it after each gap.
6. Now, turn to ex. 3. Let the students write out the words individually then check their answers
in pairs and / or in an open group.
7. While scanning the text pay attention to the phrases ‘Give me a…’ and ‘And some…’. Ask the
class to find more examples of these words and elicit the difference.
8. You may also play a group card game ‘Give me, please’ (see Appendix , p. 36). Put yourstudents into groups of four. Make two copies of this Appendix worksheet for each group. Cut the cards.
Give a pack to the group. One student shuffles the cards and deals them face down. Each person should
have six cards. Explain that players should collect a set of all four similar cards (e. g. 4 burgers). To get it
students ask each other for the ones they don’t have. Model and drill ‘Give me a / some… please’, ‘Here
you are / No, sorry’ . Students play the game. Student 1 can ask anyone in the group for one card
needed. If the student has the card he/she must had it over. Student 1 continues asking until a student
says ‘No, sorry’. Then it’s turn of Student 2. If any student has four similar cards (e. g. 4 burgers) he/she
puts them on the table. You may finish the game either when one person collects a 4-card set or when
all are collected.

River, ocean, sea, lake, spring, creek
Valley, plain
Note: if students don’t mention the underlined words, add them to the least and explain.

And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to

Heaven, I'm in heaven
And the cares that hung around me through the
(day) week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing cheek to
cheek
Oh I love to climb a mountain
And reach the (lowest) highest peak
But it doesn't boot me half as muchAs dancing cheek to cheek
Oh I love to go out (swimming) fishing
In a river or a creek
But I don't enjoy it half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek
(Come on and) Dance with me
I want my arm about you
That charm about you
Will carry me through...
(Right up)
To heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly (talk)
speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing, out together
dancingOut together dancing cheek to cheek

EVERYTHING AT ONCE
by LENKAGrammar: comparisons, as…as, articles
Vocabulary: animals, adjectives, nature objects, music
Communication skills: making comparisons
Level: Elementary♫ CD track 4
Teacher’s notes
1. Revise animal vocabulary. You can arrange the
revision as an auction (the one who calls an animal wins). For
stronger classes you may also practice writing skills (spelling).
In this case, divide your students into small groups / pairs.
Give them a minute to write down as many animals as they can. Then collect papers and count the
words. The word with a spelling mistake isn’t scored. The team (group / pair) which gets more points
wins.
2. Make enough copies of the Appendix, p. 38 (one copy for a small group or pair). Cut and hand
out the cards. Students shuffle them and put them in a pile face down. Tell your students that they aregoing to play the game. Demonstrate it by taking a card and making a sentence, e. g. A mouse is grey (or
A mouse is small), A tiger lives in the jungle. Students play the game taking the cards in turns and making
sentences. If a student’s sentence is correct (s)he collects it. The one who gets more cards in a group is a
winner. Monitor the game, correcting mistakes and helping with any vocabulary difficulties.
3. Tell your students that they are going to listen to a song. While listening they should put the
cards in a line in order they hear the words on them.
4. Play the song. Then discuss the results and impression. Correct order: fox – ox – hare – bear –
bird – mouse – wolf – toad – tiger – whale. You may play the recording for the second time pausing it
after each ‘animal word’.
5. Ask your students to look through the lyrics ignoring the gaps and trying to find one more
animal (an insect) mentioned in this song. – Bee. Then do ex. 1.6. Explain the task for ex. 2. Pay attention that there are some more words in the song which are
not included in the ex. 1. Play the song again. Students listen to it filling in the gaps. Check the answers.
7. Introduce as…as structure.
8. Pay attention to articles. Students should find all the as...as structures. Then the students
write out all the nouns from these structures into 3 columns: a (an) | the | no article. Find out the
difference.
9. To practice as…as play a game. Copy Appendix, p. 39 (one page for a group). Students shuffle
word cards and put them in a pile face down. The other pile should contain the picture cards ( See 2
above). A student takes two cards: one with a word, the second with a picture. Then (s)he should make
a sentence. E. g.: brave / wolf. I am as brave as a wolf (or The soldier is as brave as a wolf ). If a sentence
makes sense the student collects the cards. If not – puts them back. Encourage your class to make moresentences which make sense even in an ironic way. E. g.: small / whale. A giant (Shrek) is as small as a
whale. When your students get familiar to this game they can write their own words on small pieces of
paper and play with them.
10. You may also discuss the poetic language of this song. Why is the sea scary? etc.
11. Students can also try to write their own verse taking the song lyrics as an example.
Extra activity. To provide a revision of comparatives and superlatives make two copies of
Appendix, p. 38 for a small group / pair. Cut the cards put them face down. Students in turns take two
cards and compare the animals printed on them. Whales are bigger then mice. If a student gets two
similar cards (e. g. two whales) then (s)he makes a sentence with a superlative. Whales are the biggest
animals in the world.

EYE OF THE TIGER
by SURVIVORVocabulary: idioms
Communication skills: discussion, debating
Level: Upper-Intermediate, Advanced
♫ CD track 5 Teacher’s notes
1. Let your students share their associations with the
word tiger .
2. Say to your students that they are going to listen to
a song from the sport film ‘Rocky III’ which is called ‘Eye of the
Tiger’. Why is it called so? What is it about? Play the song for
the 1st time and let your class listen to it and decide. – It’s
about sport, survival, willingness to win and / or to stay alive.
3. Do ex. 1. Listen and check the answers.
4. Now, turn to ex. 2. Play the song again. Students
should fill in the gaps. Check the answers.5. Explain that in the lyrics there are a lot of idioms
about sport and people’s character. Do ex. 3. Check the
answers.
6. As a post-listening activity you can organize a discussion on topic ‘Survival in a modern world’.
Some questions to discuss:
1) What does the word survival mean now? To stay alive physically or to succeed? 2) What can
one do to survive and what is not allowed to? 3) Is it possible for a modern person to survive in the wild?
Give some examples. What happened to these people after then?
7. Another post-listening activity is debating on topic ‘Sport is never good’ (or something less
provocative). You can choose any debate format you know (parliamentary, Karl Popper’s and so on), but
mind that you will need a lot of time to provide such an activity. So, you can at least divide your groupinto two teams: affirmative and negative, then give them time to find out pros and cons of sport (first
individually, then in their teams). Then let the speakers in turns present their team’s point of view and
answer the opponent questions. Each speaker should give counterarguments to the opponents and
restore his or her team’s pack.
Lyrics and answers
Ex. 1. A – lettuce, b – ham, c sweets, d – fries, e – burger, f – chicken, g – coke, h – toast.

GREENFIELDS
by THE BROTHERS FOURGrammar: Past Simple, used to
Vocabulary: nature objects
Level: Pre-Intermediate
♫ CD track 7 Teacher’s notes
1. Ask students about their associations with ‘a
romantic landscape’ (you may also play intro of this song and
ask your class to write down images they have as they listen).
While discussing, try to revise as many ‘nature words’ as
possible.
2. Do ex. 1. Play the song.
3. Check the answers. Point out that the last word in
the chart is cloud . Ask your students if the clouds are white or
dark in this song. – Both. – Why? – Autumn has come and the
lover is gone. So, as you can see this song is a flashback, that’s why the character uses a lot of Past Simple verbs.
3. Students listen to the song again and do ex. 2. Check the answers.
4. Introduce ‘used to’ structure asking, ‘Which two words are not in the Past Simple form,
though they refer to the past?’ - Run, roam.
5. Explain the new structure.

Once there were2 valleys, where rivers used to run3.
Once there were4 blue skies, with white clouds high above.
Once they were5 part of an everlasting love.
We were6 the lovers who strolled through green fields.
Green fields are gone now, parched by the sun.
Gone from the valleys, where rivers used to run7.
Gone with the cold wind, that swept into my heart.
Gone with the lovers, who let8 their dreams depart.
Where are the green fields, that we used to roam9?
I'll never know what made10
you run away.How can I keep searching when dark clouds hide the day.
I only know there's nothing here for me.
Nothing in this wide world, left for me to see.
But I'll keep on waiting, till you return.
I'll keep on waiting, till the day you learn.
You can't be happy, while your heart's on the roam,
You can't be happy until you bring it home.
Home to the green fields, and me once again.
‘Greenfields’ (Terry Gilkyson -
Rich Dehr - Frank Miller) is a song

(at least two). For each team show a certain word and ask students to spell it. If they cope with it their
team gets a point. You may also draw a line instead of giving a point so that a picture of a house will
appear as a result. The team that builds a house first wins.

turns students take one card saying what they can see / read. E. g. I’ve got ‘a head’. Then they take one
more card. If there’s a match (e. g. a word head and a picture of a head) student keeps these cards. The
one who gets more cards wins.7. Then collect the word cards and handout the worksheets. Do ex. 1. Check the answers.
8. Introduce / review regular plurals. Play ‘How Many Fingers?’ game, for example. Hide your

by DAVID BOWIE Grammar: Past and Present Tenses review
Vocabulary: synonyms, pun
Level: Intermediate, Upper-Intermediate, Advanced
♫ CD track 11 Teacher’s notes
1. Write the title on the board. Teach pronunciation
of the word gnome. Explain that gnomes are fairytale
creatures. Ask students what they know about them: their
habits, clothes, food.
2. Apply to students’ imagination by asking questions
like these: If a gnome existed in a modern world what would
he do? What would he wear, eat, drink? Would he study?
Where? What could he do for a living?
3. Tell students they are going to listen to a song
about a man from 1960s who met a gnome. Hand out theworksheets and do ex. 1. Play the song.
4. Do ex. 2.
5. Ask students a few questions to check their
understanding: “Where did a character meet a gnome? What did the gnome eat and drink? Who is
Fred? ” etc. Finish with a question, “Did the gnomes leave his house?”. – No, they didn’t. They’re staying
with him. Tell the class that there is a variety Past and Simple tenses in the lyrics. Turn to ex. 3. Students
try to open the brackets (without the 2nd listening). Discuss their ideas.
6. Then play the song again. Students complete ex. 3. Check the answers.
7. For a stronger group explain that there are a lot of examples of pun in the dialogues (printed
in a smaller font). Encourage the class to find and explain the examples. – Gnome office must be a home
office for gnomes. Gnome man’s land is no man’s land. Metrognome (ticking Fred) is a metronome.Rolling gnome must be a rolling-stone. Gnomads are nomads, ecognomics – economics, and gnome
service is a home service.

Chorus
‘The Laughing Gnome’ is a song
by English musician David Bowie.
It was originally released as a
novelty single on Deram Records
in 1967, the track consisted of
the singer meeting and
conversing with the creature of
the title, whose sped-up voice
(created by Bowie and studio
engineer Gus Dudgeon) delivered
a number of puns on the word
'gnome'. At the time, ‘The
Laughing Gnome’ failed to
provide Bowie with a much-
wanted chart single. It became a
hit when reissued in 1973.

Lyrics and answers
Ex.
Well, when we grew up1 and went2 to school,
There were certain teachers,
Who would hurt3 the children in any way they
could,
By pouring their derision,
Upon anything we did,
Exposing every weakness4,
However carefully hidden by the kids.But in (but in) the town it was well known,
When they got5 home at night,
Their fat and psychopathic wives would thrash6
them,
Within inches of their lives.
We don't need no education.
We don't need no thought7 control.
No dark sarcasm8 in the classroom.
Teacher, leave those kids alone.
Hey, Teacher, leave those kids alone!
All in all it's just another brick in the wall.
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.
We don't need no education.
We don't need no thought9
control.
No dark sarcasm10 in the classroom.
Teachers, leave those kids alone.
Hey, Teacher, leave those kids alone!All in all you're just another brick in the wall.
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.
"Wrong! Do it again!
If you don't eat yet meat, you can't have any
pudding! How can you have any pudding if you
don't eat yet meat?!"
"You! Yes! You behind the bike sheds! Stand
still, laddie!"
‘ The Happiest Days of Our Lives’
and ‘Another Brick in the Wall,Part 2’ are the songs from Pink
Floyd rock-opera The Wall ,
released in 1979. The Wall tells
the story of Pink, an embittered
and alienated rock star in retreat
from society and personal
relationships. The songs concern
Pink's youth, attending a school
run by strict and violent teachers.
On the album, ‘The Happiest
Days…’ segues into ‘Another
Brick…’ with a scream. Becauseof this segue; many radio stations
play one right after the other.

people what happened to him…
3. Now, ask students to listen to the song and check if
their predictions were right.

review
Vocabulary: café, everyday life
Communication skills: writing and presenting a verseLevel: Elementary, Pre-Intermediate
♫ CD track 15
1. Ask students if they usually have breakfast, if it is a
big breakfast or just a cup of tea or coffee. Explain that they
are going to listen to a song where a storyteller is having her
morning coffee in a diner (sort of a café) and describing
almost everything that is happening (for this reason she is
using a lot of Present Continuous forms).
2. Encourage students to write down as many Present
Continuous forms as they can hear. Play the song then check
the answers.3. Beforehand, copy enough Appendix, p. 43
worksheets. Cut the pictures and hand out them to the class
(one set for a small group). Ask students to describe what they can see in them.
4. Students should listen to the song again and arrange pictures in order they hear. Play the
recording. Check the answers. Correct order: B-H-F-A-C-G-D-E
5. Say that to order the facts, and connect the parts of sentences we use conjunction. Write out
conjunction groups on the board: Time | Reason | Result . Encourage students to give their example to
each group.
6. Then hand out the worksheets and look through the lyrics. Students should fill in the gaps
(boxes) with the proper conjunctions without listening.
7. Play the song again and check the answers. Do the same activity for the prepositions. For astronger group you may unite 6 and 7.
8. Some teachers shared their idea to write a verse ‘I am sitting in the classroom’. You can
arrange this activity as homework. Then students present their lyrics to the whole group.
AnswersI am sitting in the morning
At the diner on the corner
I am waiting at the counter
For the man to pour the
coffee
And he fills it only halfway
And before I even argueHe is looking out the window
At somebody coming in
“It is always nice to see you”
Says the man behind the
counter
To the woman who has come
in
She is shaking her umbrella
And I look the other way
As time they are kissing their
hellos
I’m pretending not to see
them
Instead I pour the milk
I open up the paper
There’s a story of an actor
Who had died
Whiletime
he was drinkingIt was no one I had heard of
And I’m turning to the
horoscope
And looking for the funnies
When I’m feeling someone
watching me
And so result I raise my
head
There’s a woman on the
outside
Looking inside. Does she seeme?
No she does not really see
me
Cause reason she sees her own
reflection
And I’m trying not to notice
That she’s hitching up her
skirtAnd while
timeshe’s
Straightening her stockings
Her hair has gotten wet
Oh, this rain it will continue
Through the morning
As time I’m listening
To the bells of the cathedral
I am thinking of your voice…
And of the midnight picnic
Once upon a time
Before the rain began…I finish up my coffee
It’s time to catch the train
‘Tom's Diner’ is an a cappella pop
song written in 1981 by American
singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega.
It was first released as a track on
the January 1984 issue of Fast
Folk Musical Magazine. It was
later used as the basis for a
popular remix by the British
group DNA in 1990. ‘Tom's Diner’
was also used by Karlheinz
Brandenburg to develop the
audio compression scheme
known as MP3. So, Vega has the
informal title "The Mother of the
MP3".

may have a sort of an auction: let your students name
subjects in turns; the one who calls the last subject wins.
2. Now, tell your class that they are going to listen to
a song ‘Wonderful World’. Ask students to write out as many
school subjects as they can hear. Also, let them try to guess a
topic of the song.
3. Play the song. Check the task. Then let your
students look through the lyrics and find all the subjects.
4. Now, complete Ex. 1 from the worksheet. Check the answers.5. Then go to Ex. 2. Before listening you may discuss some grammar points (revise some names
of parts of speech, the articles etc.) Play the song again. Check the answers. Play the song once more if
needed.
6. Now, go to Ex. 3. Explain all the grammar difficulties beforehand. Then let your students work
individually or in pairs (depending on groups).Check the answers with the whole group.
7. Then you may play Parts of Speech ABC game. Divide your students into teams (2 or 3 –
depending on their number). Explain the rules. The teacher says a letter of the alphabet and a part of
speech. The team, which says the word of proper part of speech starting with proper letter first, gets a
point. Mind your students to raise their hands first.
Example: Noun ‘c’ – cat. Verb ‘m’ – make. Adjective ‘b’ – big.
8. Then complete Ex. 4. Explain and practice some grammar rules if needed. Go back to the lyricsand ask students why in gaps
5and
12word there is a word do. Isn’t it a mistake? Explain that it is an
emphatic construction. Also tell the class that in the sentences like Don’t know much… I is omitted to
stylize colloquial speech.

I am 37. I can play the guitar. I have got a brother. I like R’n’B.
Tell your students that some sentences are true and some of them are false. Ask students to
guess which ones are true / false. Read a sentence aloud. Students should give a short answer (revise or
elicit them and write on the board). Then you give a short answer and some more information. I am 37.

In the Shadows | Reviewer: Natasha |

This song was written by Lauri (lead
singer) and explores most inner fears
and worries of person. It is very catchy
song that will have you singing it in no
time. I would reccomend this song for
fans of evanescence or muse.
n/a | Reviewer: CB | 8/3/04
You will find it is a very personal song,
something everyone has experienced at
some time. It comes from the heart,
soul. It reaches out and tampers with
one's own ghosts, fears and pushes one
to thinking and wanting more out of life,
a dare if you will!
