December Week Two

This week, we delved into music, playing Name That Tune and discussing the songs that have influenced us in our lives.

Listening:
Learners can try a listening exercise from British Council about Live music. To try your hand at listening comprehension with music lyrics, I highly recommend LyricsTraining.

For original version listening, there are several podcasts related to music that I recommend: All Songs Considered, Lost Notes, Song Exploder.

Reading:
Learners can try an activity from Breaking News English about Dance Music or Business News Lessons: Music streaming’s diversity problem. 

For original version, try one of the following longform articles: Meet the Shaggs, Billie Eilish and the Triumph of the Weird, The Strange and Mysterious Death of Mrs. Jerry Lee Lewis.

Writing:
This week for writing, please write an ode to your favorite song, artist, or band.  Please be very descriptive about what sets them apart from the rest!

Best,
Kelly
