"With a little help from my friends"

 

This incredible song "With a little help from my friends" was written by Paul McCartney and John Lennon especially for Ringo  ( The Beatles’ drummer) to sing. Ringo wasn’t a very good singer, which explains the references to sing out of key. It has been recorded by many other singers including Joe Cocker and Wet, Wet, Wet. 


Let's do the following exercise and sing afterwards! 

1)      Match a question in A with a phrase from the song in B.

A

1(  ) what happened when Romeo and Juliet met the first time?

g)        I sang out of tune

j)          love at first sight

2)      Read the lyrics of the song with the glossary and then listen to it.

With A Little Help from My Friends

What would you think if I sang out of tune?

Would you stand up and walk out on me?

Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song,

And I'll try not to sing out of key.

(Chorus)

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,

hm I get high with a little help from my friends,

hm I’m gonna try with a little help from my friends.

What do I do when my love is away?

Does it worry you to be alone?

How do I feel by the end of the day?

Are you sad because you're on your own?

(Chorus)

Do you need anybody?

I need somebody to love.

Could it be anybody?

I want somebody to love.

Would you believe in a love at first sight?

Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time.

What do you see when you turn out the light?

I can't tell you, but I know it's mine.

(Chorus)

3)      Now cover the song and look at the phrases a – j . Can you remember the rest of each line?

Ronaldo ends career
The soccer world lost a little of its magic: Ronaldo confirmed his retirement today at the age of 34. The Brazilian Legend has decided to hang up his boots due to injuries and a loss of fitness  The Corinthians striker announced his decision at a press conference in São Paulo. “I'm stopping my career as a professional soccer player. It's been a beautiful, emotional, marvellous career.
These last two years, I've had a long series of injuries, from one side to the other, one leg to the other, one muscle to the other. The pain pushed me to think about the end of my career”, he said.         Ronaldo had a brilliant career, helping Brazil win two World Cups and being named Fifa World Player of the Year in 1996, 1997 and 2002.  He has played for Brazil in 97 matches, scoring 62 gols. Ronaldo had been expected to quit at the end of the season but the early elimination of his club, Corinthians, from the Copa Libertadores brought forward the date.  Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima was born in Bento Ribeiro, a poor neiborhood of Rio de Janeiro, on September 18, 1976. His talent took him to Europe’s top clubs, such as Milan and Internazionale (Italy) and Spanish rivals Barcelona and Real Madrid. In Brazil he played for Corinthians and Cruzeiro.
