Listening

Listen and complete the song:



Colors Of The Wind (Pocahontas-Disney)

You think I'm an ignorant savage
And you've been so many ______________
I guess it must be so
But still I cannot ______________
If the savage one is me
___________ can there be so much that you don't know?
You don't know ...

You think you own whatever ____________ you land on
The ____________ is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and ___________ and creature
Has a _____________, has a spirit, has a ______________

You _____________ the only people who are people
Are the people who _______________ and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a ________________
You'll learn _______________ you never knew you never knew

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn _____________
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the ________________?
Can you paint with all the colors of the _____________?
Can you paint with all the colors of the _____________?

Come run the hidden pine trails of the ______________
Come ______________ the sunsweet berries of the Earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never _________________ what they're worth

The rainstorm and the _______________ are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my _________________
And we are all __________________ to each other
In a _______________, in a hoop that never ends

How high will the sycamore grow?
If you cut it down, then you'll never _____________
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn _______________

For whether we are white or copper skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the _______________
We need to paint with all the colors of the _______________

You can own the _______________ and still
All you'll own is Earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the ____________

  1. Hello Estibaliz, your blog is wonderful! And it works very well.

    The activity is very interesting and motivating for students. I think the song is appropriated for students of 4º or 5º of Primary School. But it would be easier if you put the lost lyrics in a square, it can help students to find those words that are so difficult for them.

    Congratulations for your blog!
    Diego.

  2. Hi Estibaliz!
    this activity is very stimulating for improving the learners' English. Normally we do exercises like this but with currently songs, but I think that in this way is more original and funnier.
