My seventh grader like to sing a song of any handsome male singers. I picked up the song of Gareth Gates, "Stupid Mistake." All of the seventh graders like this song because it is easy and fun to sing. Singing a song is another way of learning English in Taiwan. Students will heard English only at schools, and English is not their first language which they do not have a chance to practice it everyday. Teachers have to make fun in the language classroom, otherwise, they will loose desire in learning.
In the following is the lyrics of the song "Stupid Mistake"
I´ve been letting you down, down
Girl I know I've been such a fool
Giving in to temptation
When I should´ve played it cool
The situation got out of hand
I hope you understand
Chorus
It can happen to..
Anyone of us, anyone you think of
Anyone can fall
Anyone can hurt someone they love
Hearts will break
´Cause I made a stupid mistake
It can happen to..
Anyone of us, say you will forgive me
Anyone can fail
Say you will believe me
I can´t take my heart will break
´Cause I made a stupid mistake
A stupid mistake
She was kind of exciting
A little crazy I should´ve known
She must have altered my senses
´Cause I offered to walk her home
The situation got out of hand
I hope you understand
Chorus
A stupid mistake
she means nothing to me
(nothing to me)
I swear every word is true
don´t wanna lose you
