Teacher’s notes

1. It is a good activity for St. Valentine Day. Draw a heart on the board. Tell your students that they are going to listen to a song. Ask them to predict what it will be about. Find out what ‘love’ vocabulary they have. Write out these words.

2. Name the song. Ask if they know it, what they think of it. Give out the worksheets.

3. Offer your students to check if there are the words you have written out in this song. Ask your class to find out how we call our love(r). Play the song. Check the answers. We call our love (My) darling / (My) dear.

4. Give out the worksheets. Let your students look them through and find more ‘love’ words (they may ask any questions about the vocabulary).

5. Explain that while the second listening they should fill in the gaps with the proper pronouns and possessive adjectives. Revise them. Play the song again.

6. Check the answers and let the students complete the task.

Ex. 1

Love me tender,
Love me sweet,
Never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
And I love you so.

Love me tender,
Love me true,
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darling I love you,
And I always will.

Love me tender,
Love me long,
Take me to your heart.
For it 's there where I belong,
And we ’ll never part.

Tell meyou are mine.
I ’ll be yours through all the years,
Till the end of time.
