Impara l’inglese con le canzoni di Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran è una giovane cantautore inglese che negli ultimi anni è diventato l’artista più ascoltato su Spotify.
Le sue canzoni sono molto piacevoli e facili da capire, così abbiamo deciso di proporvi oggi un’attività un po’ speciale che vi consentirà di imparare l’inglese in modo divertente.
Abbiamo scelto per voi 2 canzoni di Ed Sheeran super famose, che sicuramente già conoscerete e che avrete sentito migliaia di volte.
Per svolgere l’attività avrete bisogno del video della canzone (che vi lasciamo nel link) e del testo, che troverete in questa pagina. Per rendere l’esercizio più interessante abbiamo cancellato alcune parole … sta a voi inserire negli spazi vuoti la parola inglese corretta!
Quindi, l’esercizio consiste di tre fasi:
-
Ascoltare la canzone cercando di capire il significato generale.
-
Ascoltate la canzone una seconda volta, questa volta con il testo davanti, per cercare di inserire le parole mancanti.
-
Ascoltare nuovamente il brano e divertirsi cantando!
Siete pronti?
Via!

CASTLE ON THE HILL – video
Testo:
When I was six years old, I _____ my leg
I was running from my brother and his friends
Tasted the _______ perfume of the mountain grass, I rolled ______
I was younger then
Take me back to when I
Found my heart and broke it here
Made friends and lost them through the ______
And I’ve not seen the roaring fields in so long, I know, I’ve grown
But I can’t _____ to go home
I’m on my way
_______ at ninety down those country lanes
Singing to Tiny Dancer
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it’s real
When we watched the ______ over the castle on the hill
Fifteen years old and smoking hand rolled _______
Running from the law through the backfields and getting _______ with my friends
Had my first kiss on a Friday night, I don’t reckon I did it right
But I was ______ then
Take me back to when
We found weekend jobs, when we got paid
And buy ______ spirits and drink them straight
Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long, oh, how we’ve grown
I can’t wait to go home
I’m on my way
Driving at ninety down those country lanes
Singing to Tiny Dancer
And I ______ the way you make me feel, it’s real
When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
One friend left to sell clothes
One works down by the coast
One had two kids but lives _____
One’s brother overdosed
One’s already on his second wife
One’s just barely getting by
But these ______ raised me
And I can’t wait to go home
And I’m on my way
I still _______ these old country lanes
When we did not know the answers
And I miss the way you make me feel, it’s _____
When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
