SONG: `THE BOY DOES NOTHING' LISTENING EXERCISE





 'THE 


BOY 


DOES 


NOTHING' LISTENING EXERCISE 



This month's blog post focuses on Alesha Dixon's song 'The Boy Does Nothing'.


By means of this listening activity learners have to choose the right word, rearrange the sentences in some stanzas, rearrange phrases in paragraphs, and identify, and therefore inflect, the given infinitives in either simple present or simple past.
The images will  hopefully help them get the meaning.The slides should be printed or projected so that the learners doing it can go through the lyrics at least once before they start listening to the song. The lyrics version will allow them to check their exercise. The karaoke version will enable them to improve stress, rhythm, intonation and pronunciation.

This listening  activity is suitable for CEFR B1/B2, or intermediate and upper-intermediate students of English.

'The Boy Does Nothing', by Alesha Dixon sold 1,000.000 copies worldwide. The song was the first single by the British singer  from her new 2008 album. It became a big success not only in Europe, but also in Australia.
