Don't worry, be happy

-


What do you usually feel like?  Do you often text? Do you use emoticons? What emoji do you use most often?

Are these things similar (S) or different (D)?


  • song / note
  • trouble / worry
  • don’t worry / be happy
  • may / might
  • phone number / call me
  • cash / rent
  • smile / frown
  • listen / sing
  • now / then

Match two parts of the phrase:

  •  have
  • lay
  • make
  • bring
  • learn
  • your rent
  •  your head
  • some trouble
  • everybody down
  • you smile
  • is late
  • note for note

Listen to the song and fill in the gaps:




Here's a little song I wrote

You might want to sing it ...

Don't worry, ...

In every life we have some trouble

But when you worry you make it double

Don't worry, ...

Don't worry, ... now


Ain't got no place to lay ...

Somebody came and took your bed

Don't worry, ...

The landlord say your rent ...

He may have to litigate

Don't worry, ...


Here I give you my phone number, when you worry, call me, I make you happy, don't worry, ...)

Don't worry, ...

Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style

Ain't got no gal to make ...

Don't worry, ...

'Cause when you worry your face will frown

And that will bring ...

So don't worry, be happy


  1. Find the lines that show the main idea of the song.
  2. ‘Will bring everybody down’ means:
  • will amuse everybody
  • will make everybody unhappy
  1. What do you have to pay for your flat? 
  2. What does this song sound like to you? Why?
  3. Do you worry a lot? What do you worry about?
😁😂😓😒😕😖😞
How do you think these speakers are feeling?

worried          relaxed       frightened      disappointed     shocked        surprised      tired        excited bored      uninterested        amused       angry     depressed


  1. Oh no, not again! I hate losing.

  2. Where have you been? I called you one hundred times!

  3. Go away! I don’t want to see you again!

  4. Wow! They are making it again! They’re going to win!

  5. I can hardly stand. I’ve had a lot of work today.

  6. What is it? Oh, such lovely flowers! Thank you.

  7. My goodness! The whole city decorated in red?! These people are crazy.

  8. No, no, I don’t want to get up. I’ll just drink some more juice and stay here, on the beach.

Here is a little video inspiration I found on youtube to teach during this period of winter holidays - the story of the Chinese zodiac. It fits well together into the topic Christmas, New Year and winter holidays. This story can be taught to children of all ages starting from 8 or 9 years old, and even adults. You students are supposed to know some basic grammar rules and some English. There are fun things to do and here is a lesson plan. 1. Preparatory stage. Find a picture of the Chinese zodiac, with animal signs and years. Find descriptions of the Chinese zodiac animal signs. Watch the video and read the story. 2. How to introduce the topic. Ask your students the question: We are now in the year 2013. Which year is the next? (The students are supposed o answer 2014). Keep on asking: What animal symbolizes the next year? (Some of them may guess or know - The Horse). You may say: The Horse is an animal sign of the Chinese zodiac . What other animal signs do you know? How ma
