my son - listen to the reason and your heart

 Reasonable  rhymes a bit  with lesson


Two big apples  under a tree.


One is for you .... And one’s for me.


Rain, rain, go away!  All the children want to play.

Rain, rain, go away!  Come again another day




TASK 1_        7    Easy Rhymes.  Circle the verbs

1. What little animal rhymes with cat?                    ..... xxx

2. What fruit do you eat that rhymes with hair?      ..... xxxx

3. What lives in the sea and rhymes with dish?       ..... xxxx

5. What do you sing that rhymes with strong?  ..... xxxx

7. Where do you go for a walk that rhymes with ark? .. xxxx




TASK 2_   Read and enjoy the text. Underline all the verbs

  people  - and their lovely hearts  💔 💔 💔




    (A) The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer less heart attacks than the British or Americans.
    (B) On the other part of the globe, the French eat a lot of fat and they suffer less heart attacks than the British or Americans, too.

    (C) The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer less heart attacks than the British or Americans.

    (D) The Italians drink excessive quantities of red wine and also suffer less heart attacks than the Americans, too.

    REASONable  Conclusion:

    PS: 
    The very best New York Rock band:  


    VERB -singular or plural?

    English Kills artists,  Brittany “Brita” Turner and Lloyd Lowe Jr. form a  multi talented duo. They create electronic/acoustic sounds: a modern mix of trip-hop and singer-songwriter styles that are provocative and post-modern. In addition to singing, the artists write, produce and compose all of their music, resulting in a genuine art and unique sound. 
     
    Influenced by first generation trip-hop performances, the duo combine the shocking avant-garde aesthetic of Bjork and David Bowie.  English Kills echo choral progressions similar to electro-pop and the female-centric vocals. 

     The eclectic collaboration reverberates along with the band’s sound, it adds innovative and progressive elements to their music that circles in your head all day.
