Prince- Song time

Hello everyone,

In light of the sad news this week, I have decided to give you a little lyrics listening practice from Prince. I would do one on Bowie, but I am still heartbroken over him :-(
Anyways, here is my favourite Prince song with some gaps. Fill them in, listen then check your answers here.

Could you be
The most beautiful girl in the world
It's plain to see
You're the reason that God made a girl

When the day turns into the last day of all time
I can say, I hope you are in these arms of mine
And when the night falls before that day I will cry
I will cry tears of joy
'Cause after you all one can do is die

Could you be
The most beautiful girl in the world, could you be
It's plain to see
You're the reason that God made a girl
You're the reason that God made a girl
Oh yes, you are

How can I get through days when I can't get through hours
I can try but when I do I see you and I'm devoured, oh yes
Who'd allow, who'd allow a face to be soft as a flower
I could bow and feel proud in the light of this power, oh yes
(Bow down)

Could you be
(Could you be)
The most beautiful girl in the world
Could you be
It's plain to see
You're the reason that God made a girl
Oh yes, you are

And if the stars ever fell one by one from the sky
I know Mars could not be too far behind
'Cuz baby, this kind of beauty has got no reason to ever be shy
'Cuz honey, this kind of beauty the kind that comes from einsid

Bonus Question:

What do you think the verb "devour" means? Check What could you devour?

Writing a Film Review

Hello everyone,

This week I have asked you to write a film review. To start, let's look at a website I go to when I want to see what the critics say about films and TV shows. Rottentomatoes.com is the best for me because:

1. It gives a rating from both the critics and the audience. Sometimes a film may not be critically good but the audience liked it. For example Batman VS Superman. What is your opinion?
2. The "Critics Consensus" is a good summary review. How can you use this in your review?
3. The "Movie Info" is clear and gives a brief description of what the film is about. How can you use this in your review?

Tips

• Include a title
• No spoilers!
• Don't forget your audience: will your review give enough information to encourage/discourage your reader from watching the film?
• A film is colourful, so don't forget to use colourful language- remember, it can be informal. 

Have fun!
