I bet everybody has ever used lyrics to practice listening. Am I right? Then, why not do it from here all of us? I mean, I'll suggest a song, deleting some words from the lyric. After listening to it , we can say…three times, you'll post your answers. the person, who be closer to the original one, will choose the next one

Ok, so here we go!! By start, I've choosen Lemon tree by Fool's garden. I think is not very quick and even beginners can have a go. You can find two videos on you tube, one of them with subtitles. SO,PLEASE DONT CHEAT. If not this game doesn't work, ok?Tongue out

Here is the lyric :

 I (1)____ here in the boring room.

It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon.

I (2) ____ my time

I got nothing to do

I (3)____ around

I (4) ___ for you

But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I (5) __ around in my car

I (6)___ too fast

I (7) ___ too far

I'd like to change my point of view

I feel so lonely

I (8) ___ for you

But nothing ever happens

and I wonder

I wonder how

I wonder why

Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky

And all that I can see

is just a yellow lemon-tree

I (9) ____ my head ___

I (11) ________ around

And all that I can see

is just another lemon-tree

(12) __ !

Dap dararap di dapdap…

I (13) ___ here

I miss the power

I'd like to go out  (14)____

But there's a heavy(15) ___ inside my head

I feel so tires

(16) __ myself (17) __ bed

While nothing ever happens

and I wonder

Isolation is not good for me

Isolation

I don't want to (18) __ the lemon-tree

I (19)___ around

in the desert of (20)__

Baby anyhow I'll get another (21) __

And everything will happen

and you wonder

I wonder how

I wonder why

Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky

And all that I can see

is just another lemon-tree

I (22) ___  my head (23)___

I(23)_________ around

And all that I can see

is just a lemon-tree

And I wonder, wonder

I wonder how

I wonder why

Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky

And all that I can see

and all that I can see

and all that I can see

is just a yellow lemon tree.

Hey, good one!! I think having listened to it before..but for sure I didn't have pay attention to the lyrics..I've enjoyed the videclip: the plan worked! Great gang and band as well!!

I've lost the count…I don't know how many times I've pressed play …Laughing Well, here you are my guess….

1. perfect

2. Impossible mission Undecided What I think to listen to is "can till you" and I know, it has no sense at all..and by logic, I can have a go saying—-"'m still" But he doesn't say that Laughing

3. before

4. found

5.new

6. hurt

7.pain

8.tears

9.found

10. new

11. perfect

12.before

13.found

14.new

15.found

16. side
