Scene 6

SPEAKING Now when you can hear each word, try to remember as many lines as you can but without learning the song by heart. Start with 3,4,5 lines and each time add some more. It can be done while walking or doing some household activities. It’s also a good idea to interpret  the song as a story. WRITING The meaning of the message is in the song. Can you find it? In the second part the family song is mentioned. I suggest you imagining the situation when you are to write the family message. What could it be? You can use comments. I’m looking forward to reading you.
