Easter Egg Hunt
St. Valentine’s Day is coming, and the theme of both of this month’s additions is love. There is a full selection of love-themed worksheets online.
Locked Away – R. City feat. Adam Levine
A favourite in this year’s Roadshow, this song about true love is ideal for revising the Second Conditional and has activities written by regular contributor Mena Bianco.
Diamond Ring – Bon Jovi
This worksheet looks at symbols of love, with activities prepared by Maria Gulczynska, Ancona.
I remember cycling to Cork city centre on the 9th March 1987 in my lunch break to buy U2’s The Joshua Tree on the day of its release. There are now three worksheets based on songs from that album on www.tuneintoenglish.com, as well as a further eleven from the Irish band.
With Or Without You - U2
This worksheet focuses on phonetics and was written by regular contributor Mena Bianco.
Money - Pink Floyd
I paid for my U2 album with the now defunct Irish punt, while purchasers of Pink Floyd’s early work used pounds, shilling and pence. In this worksheet, written by ELT guru Roy Boardman, students use the Second Conditional to reflect on what they would be like if they were millionaires.
Roy has just published his first novel, Honky Tonk, so we wish him well in becoming a millionaire soon!

Johnny B. Goode – Chuck Berry
The Rock’n’Roll world lost its founder in March, with the passing of Chuck Berry. Regular contributor Mena Bianco has contributed this worksheet based on his signature song.
Awakening - Anna Maria Jopek
April 22nd is Earth Day, and this worksheet, written by Maria Gulczynska, Ancona, looks at ecology and nature. This song was a 1997 Eurovision Song Content entry – next month’s newsletter will feature a Eurovision special.
