Welcome To My Life - Simple Plan Feelings



t's good to talk about teenagers problems and feelings. The vocabulary is different and useful for secondary students.

iT's: The video on the left is with on-screen lyrics. Follow the link below to see the music video eith the song performed by Simple Plan.

Loudon Wainwright - I'm Alright (past simple)




I use this song for students at upper intermediate level to review / reintroduce past simple, and also a cultural thing - you can use it to talk about the blues and what they're typically like, and how this song has a humorous take on that.
