Extra Lesson – A Bad Day
To watch video click on image
This is an extra lesson for intermediate students. A machinima movie for listening practise. The subject is a song called ‘Bad Day’. Considering all of the problems I’ve had lately, especially with my computer, I thought it a suitable song. You can click on the lyrics link to read the words while listening to the song, or just listen and try and write down the words without looking.
Have fun
