Lesson #3
1. Today I'd prefer to begin with prepositions - they are such tiny or just little things... eh... words those express the notion of relationship between other words/notions. The three main categories of them are: prepositions of Place, prepositions of Time, and Others...
I propose to learn them in funny way - with songs. The first and heating exercise is not very funny but beautiful - singer/song/nostalgia/soul...

Elvis Presley – In The Ghetto Lyrics
(Words & music by Scott Davis)
As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago morning
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
Its another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto
People, don't you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or hell grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me,
Are we too blind to see,
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way
Well the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto
And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
In the ghetto
Then one night in desperation
A young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car,
Tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries
As a crowd gathers round an angry young man
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto
As her young man dies,
On a cold and gray Chicago morning,
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto
Sergeant Presley preparing to go home. 1960.
2. Grammar Time
Oh, I said it will be Prepositions Lesson, and it has come out much more the music class...
But I'll keep faith somehow...
Questions!
And here you are - the last item for now:
Six Honest Serving Men by Rudyard Kipling -
it would be better to know classic things by heart, don't you think so?
Bye!
