Activity 1:Warming up
Listen to the song Lemon tree.
I’m sitting here in the boring room
It’s just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I’m wasting my time I got nothing to do
I’m hanging around I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder
I’m driving around in my car
I’m driving too fast I’m driving too far
I’d like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely I’m waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder
I wonder how I wonder why
Yesterday you told me about the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree
I’m turning my head up and down
I’m turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree
