7 Happy Christmas So this is Christmas//And what have you done?//Another year over//And a new one just begun.//And so this is Christmas//I hope you have fun//The near and the deer ones//The old and the young//A merry merry Christmas//And a Happy New Year//Let’s hope it’s a good one//Without any fear.

8 Father And Son F(father) It’s not time to make a change, just relax take it easy, you’re still young that’s your fault there’s so much you have to know. Find a girl settle down, if you want you can marry, look at me, I am old but I’m happy. I was once like you are now, and I know that it’s not easy, to be calm when you’ve found something going on.

9 But take your time, think a lot, why think of everything you’ve got. For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not. S(son) How can I try to explain, cause when I do he turns away again, It’s always been the same same old story. From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen, now there’s a way and I know that I have to go. A way, I know, I have to go.

10 Dedicated follower of fashion They seek him here//They seek him there//His clothes are loud//But never square//It will make or break him//So he’s got to buy the best//Cause he’s a (dedicated follower of fashion)//And when he does//His little round//On busy streets

The class has asked me to pick a special song that will represent our class. It has to be a song that everybody likes and that shows the spirit of our class. Can you help me?

14 A: Hmm, that sounds difficult, but I’ll try. First of all, let’s think about what kind of music your classmates like. B: Well, many students like hip-hop. Maybe we should pick a hip-hop song? A: Ok. What about the lyrics? What should the song be about? B: I suggest it should be about peace and friendship. A: Great. Let’s ask Doris if she knows any good songs.
