Level 5/6 "He Thinks He'll Keep Her" (Song)

Here's a link to "He Thinks He'll Keep Her," by Mary Chapin Carpenter, the song we did in class on Friday.  The worksheet we did is below:

Fill in:  (present tense verbs)

She ______ his coffee, she ________ his bed
She _______ the laundry, she ______ him fed
When she was twenty-one she wore her mother's lace
She said "forever" with a smile upon her face
She ______ the car-pool, she PTAs
Doctors and dentists, she ________ all day
When she was twenty-nine she delivered number three
And every Christmas card showed a perfect family
Everything ______ right on time, years of practice and design
Spit and polish till it shines. He _______ he'll keep her
Everything _____ so benign, safest place you'll ever find
God forbid you _______ your mind. He thinks he'll keep her
She _________ his suitcase, she __________ and __________
With no expression upon her face
When she was thirty-six she met him at their door
She said I'm sorry, I don't love you anymore
Everything _________ right on time, years of practice and design
Spit and polish till it ________. He thinks he'll keep her
Everything _______ so benign, safest place you'll ever find
God forbid you change your mind. He ________ he'll keep her
For fifteen years she had a job and not one raise in pay
Now __________ in the typing pool at minimum wage
Everything ________ right on time, years of practice and design
Spit and polish till it __________. He ________ he'll keep her
Everything ______ so benign, safest place you'll ever find
At least until you _______ your mind. He _______ he'll keep her

I hope you will learn a lot of new things in this class and have a lot of fun.

Level 4 is a very important level.  It is the last beginning class at City College of San Francisco.  At the end of the semester you will take 4 tests:  speaking, listening, reading, and writing.  If you pass 3 of the 4 tests, you will go on to Level 5 which is Low Intermediate. We will practice speaking and listening every day, reading every week and writing every other week.

Our book is called Ventures 2, and you can do extra work by going on to the Ventures website here.

Please talk to Denise if the class is too easy, too difficult, or if you have any questions.
