"WHENEVER, WHEREVER"

Hi everybody!

As I know many of you like Latin music, I´ve thought about some enterteining exercises on a very well known Latin artist. Here you have a photo. Do you recognize her? That´s right! It´s Shakira, the Colombian singer who loves belly-dancing. Here you have a video of the song "Whenever, Wherever".

CAN´T GET YOU OUT OF MY HEAD

Here you have some exercises on Kylie´s song.

1. Try to fit the following words or expressions in to the gaps:
dare, in your arms, all I think about, a dark secret, ever and ever (2), in your heart.

La la la ... I just can't get you out of my head
Boy your lovin' is ________
I just can't get you out of my head
Boy it's more than I _____ to think about
La la la

2. We use the imperative to give orders. There are four positive imperatives and one negative in the song. Find them.

KYLIE MINOGUE

Hello everybody again! Today, after so much serious staff on environmental issues, I thought it would be a good idea to relax a wee bit and enjoy the music of a very sexy singer, Kylie Minogue. You can watch her music video "Can´t get you out of my head" and do some exercises on the lyrics of the song.

Here you have the lyrics.
