a. “Teenagers in general, are often misunderstood and underestimated.” Do you agree with this statement?

b. What do you usually do when life gets you down?

Task AListen to the song ‘One Step at a Time’ and fill in the blanks with the correct word.

Hurry up and waitSo close, but so far awayEverything that you've always dreamed ofClose enough for you to tasteBut you just can't touch

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yetWonder when and where and how you're gonna make itYou know you can if you get the chanceIn your face as the door keeps slammingNow you're feeling more and more frustratedAnd you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

[Chorus]We live and we learn to take One step at a timeThere's no need to rushIt's like learning to flyOr falling in loveIt's gonna happen and it'sSupposed to happen that weFind the reasons why On step at a time

You believe and you doubtYou're confused, you got it all figured outEverything that you wished forCould be yours, should be yours, would be yoursIf they only knew

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yetWonder when and where and how you're gonna make itYou know you can if you get the chance

In your face as the door keeps slammingNow you're feeling more and more frustratedAnd you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

[Chorus]We live and we learn to take One step at a timeThere's no need to rushIt's like learning to flyOr falling in love

It's gonna happen and it'sSupposed to happen that weFind the reasons why On step at a time

When you can't wait any longerBut there's no end in sightIt's the faith that makes you strongerThe only way you get thereIs one step at a time

[Chorus]Take one step at a timeThere's no need to rushIt's like learning to flyOr falling in loveIt's gonna happen and it'sSupposed to happen that weFind the reasons why On step at a time

[Chorus]One step at a timeThere's no need to rushIt's like learning to flyOr falling in loveIt's gonna happen and it'sSupposed to happen that weFind the reasons why On step at a time
