Teacher’s notes

1. For the weaker groups write the missing words in a random order on the board and keep them covered if it is possible.

2. Tell the students that they are going to listen to a rather nice (pretty) song. Ask them to listen and make and share their own opinion. Play the record. Discuss if they liked it or not. Why?

3. Ask what it is about and refresh some ‘house’ vocabulary. Think of the things those make a living-room cozy.

4. Give out the worksheets and explain the students that they have to fill in the gaps without listening for the second time. Ask them to read the lyrics. Pay their attention to the verbs light, place, and rest (they can be nouns as well; it is a common thing in English). Ask the students’ question about unknown vocabulary. For the weaker groups uncover the world list.

5. Let the students complete the task. Discuss the results.
