introduction

Opening picture and listening: How can you define yourself in one word?

Describing people and their personality

Reminder: to describe people's general physical characteristics, you will use the verb BE (I am twelve years old; you are tall).

When you want to describe something specific (face, nose, eyes, hair), you'll use HAVE (or HAVE GOT): I have brown hair and he has a big nose.

for example, "Hand In My Pocket" by Alanis Morrisette

I'm broke but I'm happy

I'm poor but I'm kind

I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah

I'm high but I'm grounded

I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed

I'm lost but I'm hopeful baby

What it all comes down to

Is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine

'cause I've got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is giving a high five

I feel drunk but I'm sober

I'm young and I'm underpaid

I'm tired but I'm working, yeah

I care but I'm restless

I'm here but I'm really gone

I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby

What it all comes down to

Is that everything's gonna be quite alright

'cause I've got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is flicking a cigarette

And what it all comes down to

Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet

'cause I've got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is giving the peace sign

I'm free but I'm focused

I'm green but I'm wise

I'm hard but I'm friendly baby

I'm sad but I'm laughing

I'm brave but I'm chickenshit

I'm sick but I'm pretty baby

And what it all boils down to

Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet

'cause I've got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is playing the piano

And what it all comes down to my friends

Is that everything's just fine fine fine

'cause I've got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is hailing a taxi cab

[Harmonica solo]

[Verse 1]

You're tired now, lie down

I'll be waitin' to give you the good news

It might take patience

And when you wake up, it won't be over

So don't you give up


[Chorus]

We've got the time to take the world

And make it better than it ever was

That's what they'll say about us


[Verse 2]

If I say a cliché, it's 'cause I mean it

We can't walk away, we gotta get in between it

And when you wake up, we'll grow together

So don't you give up


[Chorus]

We've got the time to take the world

And make it better than it ever was

That's what they'll say about us


[Bridge]

I never said it would be easy

I'm never giving up, believe me

I used to think the pain would fade, but it never does


[Outro]

You're tired now, lie down

I'll be waitin' to give you the good news

It might take patience

And if you don't wake up

I'll know you tried to

I wish you could see him

He looks just like you

if you like them: Mr Men and Little Misses

Check who they are, and create your own character!
