I wonder (Lemon tree)

 




What are you doing today?  Are you working?  Are you relaxing?
Are you spending time with anyone?
Are you doing chores?

What are you wearing? Basic conversations about clothes

 



In American English, a jumper is a dress with a vest-style top.  Where these speakers say, "jumper," say, "sweater."

Blue

 


The next song was written by the King of the Blues...


Mr. Vo calls me the "blue teacher."  I don't know why.  Maybe, it's because I have a lot of blue clothes and a blue car.  Maybe, it's because I look sad.  In these songs, blue means sad. The blues is a music style that often has amazing guitar riffs.

What do you do when your friend is blue?  What are good ways to cheer up people?
