C. Work individually to do the following activities.


a. Find some English song about life.
Someone Like You by Adele
b. Rewrite the lyrics
I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things, I didn't give to you
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light
I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face
And that you'd be reminded that for me, it isn't over
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
"Don't forget me, " I beg
I remember you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"
"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"
You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised in a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days
I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face
And that you'd be reminded that for me, it isn't over
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
"Don't forget me, " I begged
I remember you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"
Nothing compares, no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
"Don't forget me, " I beg
I remember you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
"Don't forget me, " I begged
I remember you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"
"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"

c. Write the message of the songs.


For me this song is about those years following the break up of a relationship that
really, and truly changed you - you knew the person inside out, and feel an immense
hole in your chest whenever you think of them. I'm not entirely convinced with the
genuineness of the line "I wish nothing but the best for you too", it seems to be sung
with such unnerving bitterness and heartache, and that would link to turning up,
uninvited to let them know that you still love them, and that for you, it really isn't
over.

In my opinion, this song comes from a vulnerable place; right at that moment when
you find out that your ex has moved on, and you haven't. You begin to question why
they have moved on, and why you are unable to, and get the real and painful feeling
that actually you still love them.

It's beautiful, unnerving and bitter. Like break ups are.
