## Ice age (3)

After listening:
Compare your notes to those of a classmate. How many words have you got? Have you got similar words? Can you explain the connection?
If yes, move on for the next part of the exercise.
Now check if the words you wrote down are present in the lyrics and if your answers make sense.
Which group found most words?

We are, we are, not your ordinary fami-mi-ly
But we can all agree that we are, we are, close as close can be
So it don’t matter what it looks like, we look perfect to me
We got every kind of love, I feel so lucky indeed
They can keep on talking it don’t matter to me
‘cause we are, we are, family
We are family (several times)
So what, we don’t look, we don’t act, we don’t walk, we don’t talk like you do
So what if we hang just to hang
Ain’t no shame
We both do what we want to
‘cause we come from everywhere
Searching for ones to care
Somehow we found it here
We found us a home
We are, we are, not your ordinary fami-mi-ly
But we can all agree that we are, we are, close as close can be
So it don’t matter what it looks like, we look perfect to me
We got every kind of love, I feel so lucky indeed
They can keep on talking it don’t matter to me
‘cause we are, we are family
We are family
OK, so the links in our chain makes us strange
But really they make us stronger
And I wouldn’t replace not a thing
Mother or father …
‘Cause weee
‘cause we come from everywhere
Searching for ones to care
Somehow we found it here
We found us a home
We are, we are, not your ordinary fami-mi-ly
But we can all agree that we are, we are close as close can be
So it don’t matter what it looks like, we look perfect to me
We got every kind of love, I feel so lucky indeed
They can keep on talking it don’t matter to me
‘cause we are, we are family
Family (we are)
We are, we are, family

Now, using your own notes and the lyrics (if necessary), answer the following question:
Do you think the people singing the song are family? Why or why not?
What words from the text make you think so?
Discussion
What is the link between family and friends according to you?
Have you got friends that feel like family or the other way around?
