LISTENING

1. Listen to the song and put the passages into the correct order

In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines

And our friends are all aboard
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play

So we sailed up to the sun
Till we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

As we live a life of ease
Every one of us has all we need
Sky of blue and sea of green
In our yellow submarine

(Full speed ahead Mr. Boatswain, full speed ahead
Full speed ahead it is, Sergeant.
Cut the cable, drop the cable
Aye, Sir, aye
Captain, captain)

What is this song about? (– It’s about a true love, which gives us a possibility to live, to love, to dream, it gives us the wings to let us find ourselves on cloud nine (on the top of the world), we feel ease, the joy of life, happiness, light-heartedness )

I used to think that I could not go on

And life was nothing but an awful song

But now I know the meaning of true love

I'm leaning on the everlasting arms

If I can see it, then I can do it

If I just believe it, there's nothing to it.

[Chorus:]

I believe I can fly

I believe I can touch the sky

I think about it every night and day

Spread my wings and fly away

I believe I can soar

I see me running through that open door

I believe I can fly

I believe I can fly

I believe I can fly
