I hate to wake you up to say goodbye. But the dawn is breaking, it’s early morn, The taxi’s waiting, he’s blowing his horn, Already I’m so lonesome I could cry. So kiss me and smile for me, tell me that you’ll wait for me, Hold me like you’ll never let me go. I’m leaving on a jet plane, don’t know when I’ll be back again. Oh, babe, I hate to go. There’s so many times I’ve let you down, So many times, I’ve played around, I’ll tell you now they don’t mean a thing. Every place I go, I’ll think of you, Every song I sing, I’ll sing for you。 Unit 9 Wheels Communication Workshop 教案 Objectives ■ To practise making notes of the important information from a reading text. ■ To practise using collocations. ■ To prepare for a speaking activity and to participate in discussion. ■ To discuss suggestions. ■ To write a report. ■ To use addition and contrast linking words. ■ To listen to and understand a song.
