- Use the famous song that Elton John played at Diana’s funeral:
Candle In The Wind 1997 (music by Elton John, lyrics by Bernie Taupin)
Goodbye England's rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart
You called out to our country
And you whispered to those in pain
Now you belong to heaven
And the stars spell out your name
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along England's greenest hills
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend ever will

minute interview with Prince Harry and Prince William. You need Flash Player as a free

moves his hands in an awkward way and he really can’t sit still)
- Who of these princes seems to be the better communicator? (Harry moves his
hands more than his brother, which is good. Harry also brings in some
humour at the end. But he touches his mouth from time to time and he
can’t sit still. So William shows more ease and confidence. His intonation
is not very good, though.)

p. 9: WHAT MAKES YOU ANGRY?
Pre-reading: visuals
- Look at the photos of the people on page 9. What do the expressions on their
faces say? (They are angry)
- Think of synonyms for ‘angry’ (pissed off, mad).
- What do you say to someone when you are angry? (Go to hell! Beat it! Fuck
off! You’re so dead! )
Therapists try to curb these expressions into less aggressive language behaviour: explain
your (hurt) feelings and say why you are angry. This is a better strategy than insulting
and (verbally) abusing the other one.
Listening/Reading comprehension/Vocabulary
LIVE - Listen to the Easy Going Live CD (track 34) and write down all the phrases that
express anger. Write them down into the phrase web in your Student’s
Worksheets (I’m angry, I hate it, I get angry).
- Complete the phrase web with expressions from page 9. (I see red, I get mad,
it hurts, it gets on my nerves)
- Now extend your vocabulary by consulting a thesaurus like http://m-w.com. Find
synonymous expressions and add them to your web.
ICT Tell your students to use a Thesaurus like Encarta or Merriam Webster. You can use
Dictionary.com yourself in order to find even more examples of how people express their
anger. Tell students to note down phrases, not words. In this context it is better to note
down an expression like to get angry instead of the isolated main word like anger or
hate. Whenever possible, turn word webs into phrase webs.
Example from the Merriam Webster thesaurus:
5

pp. 14-15: THE WORLD OF WIMBLEDON
Background information
- Grand Slam: The four major championships: Australian
Open, US Open, Wimbledon and French Open.
- Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum opened in April 2006.
The museum combines state-of-the-art interactive touch
screens with a collection of traditional and contemporary
tennis memorabilia, all exploring the story of the game and
the Wimbledon Championships. There are a 200° 3-D cinema,
featuring a film on The Science of Tennis (filmed during the
2005 Championships), interactive touch screens bringing to
life the Museum’s extensive archive, television interviews with
the legends of the game, an exhibition on tennis fashion, and
you can go behind the scenes in the company of a
professional Blue Badge guide.
- The noughties are the years 2000. "The Noughties" and "The Noughts" have come to
be the most widely recognized and accepted terms. The term "Noughties" has been
adopted by the BBC, and while the term may not be universal, there is no other term so
widely recognized. Probably the only reason that the term Noughties has not been
completely accepted world wide is the fact that, in the United States (where usage of
naught or nought to mean zero has never been common), there is some confusion by
those who think that the term has something to do with the adjective "naughty".
- Every year about 27,000 kilos of strawberries are eaten during the Wimbledon Tennis
Championships, together with 7,000 litres of cream. A portion of 10 Grade I Kent
strawberries costs around €3. But there is more: during the Wimbledon tournament
visitors consume 300,000 cups of tea and coffee, 190,000 sandwiches, 135,000 ice
creams, 100,000 pints of draught beer and lager, 30,000 portions of fish and chips and
17,000 bottles of champagne.
Reading comprehension: global reading
- The text consists of three parts, describing the history of Wimbledon. Parts 2 and
3 have got headings: tennis stars and the noughties. Give part 1 a headline
and invent new headlines for parts 2 and 3. (Part 1 is about the early history,
part 2 about the tennis stars up to the 1980s and part 3 about recent
tennis stars)

Literature in Context: 40-Love
Background information
- Adrian Henry, Roger McGough, Brian Patten (Liverpool Poets) published a
pop poetry anthology The Mersey Sound in 1967, which became
immensely popular, selling half a million copies at the time. The poets were from
Liverpool; a city which was pretty much in the focus of cultural attention through the rise
of The Beatles.
- Roger McGough was born in north Liverpool. He became an entertainer or performer,
working for the radio and as a song writer. McGough was responsible for much of the
humorous dialogue in The Beatles' animated film Yellow Submarine. In 1978, McGough
appeared in All You Need Is Cash, a mockumentary about the career of The Beatles.
- The poem 40-Love can be heard (with sound effects) on the internet on the following
site: http://www.rogermcgough.org.uk/cd/index.htm
- The Liverpool Poets wrote in an easy-going, nonsensical, realistic way as in Brian
Patten’s ‘Hair today, no her tomorrow’.
