Practise English with songs


Hi again!
Do you remember that we listened to this beautiful song last week? It's called True Colors, and although the original singer is Cindy Lauper, I used a cover by the series Glee. I'm posting the lyrics with the gaps for the people who didn't come to class, and in case someone might want to do the exercise again ;)


You with the (1)____ / _____
Don't be (2) ____________
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so (3) ___________

But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be (4) _________ to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are (5) ________,
Like a rainbow

Show me a smile then,
Don't be (6)________, can't remember when I last saw you laughing

If this world makes you (7)___________
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are (8)_________,
Like a rainbow



Can't remember, when I last saw you laugh.

If this world makes you (9)__________
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show your true colors
True colors, true colors are shining through

I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be (10)______ to let them show your, true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow.


And here you have the complete lyrics.

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing

If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

Can't remember, when I last saw you laugh.

If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors
True colors are shining through

I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow.



And finally, if you like music and enjoy practising English with songs, maybe you'll like this webpage, Lyrics Training. There you'll find lots of songs with videos and lyrics. But careful! Because you'll have to complete the lyrics while the song is playing, and if you don't make a right guess, the song will stop until you complete the gap correctly. It's a chalenge, but it can be fun. By the way, you can choose a level or game mode with more or less words to fill in.

Okay, that's all now. Have fun and tell us how you did!
