"Huckleberry friend" is NOT common English. 

Write about traveling on water.  Did you enjoy it?  Where were you?  What did you do?

This video is FAST, but it repeats.  Try to sing it.

Teacher GRRR alert:
There are a few mistakes in this video.  HockeyGirl 86 used the wrong "your."  When you spell "your," use it to show possession.  I like your purple polka-dotted scarf.  In this song, it should read "when you're standing in the eye of the hurricane."  Also, never use an apostrophe for "it hits me."  Just add the s for simple present with it.

Tell me a story about getting reading for a storm.  What do you need to do to get ready for a storm?

I can treat you better!

Practice a lot of stative verbs if you already have good grammar....

Only use coz for texting.  Don't use it for formal writing.  Coz=cause=because.
wanna = be want to
In this song, treat is not a yummy thing like ice cream.  Treat is also how someone behaves with another person.  She treats him very badly is good English.

Can you spot any Present Continuous verbs in this song?  What are they?

What do you like to do to treat someone well?  I like to spend time together and talk!!
