Catherine's Open House

天氣歌，妳一定會唱好幾首！
這算是美語老師必備的點歌單top 10之一。


從幼美到兒美，教過好幾首天氣歌。
主教材裡也一定會有一首，關於天氣的歌謠。
直到之前聽到Carolyn Graham的這首The Sun Is Shining，又重新愛上天氣歌了耶！


Lyrics:

The sun is shining.
I like the sun. (Me, too!)
The sun is shining.
I like the sun. (Me, too!)
The sun is shining.
I like the sun.
The sun is shining today.

It's rainy today.
I like the rain. (Not me.)
It's rainy today.
I like the rain. (Not me.)
It's rainy today.
I like the rain.
It's rainy rainy today.

It's snowy today.
I like the snow . (I'm cold.)
It's snowy today.
I like the snow. (I'm cold.)
It's snowy today.
I like the snow.
It's snowy snowy today.


喜歡它的原因，當然是因為旋律好聽，歌詞簡單易教。
後來因為注意到這位作者，找出這段影片，聽Carolyn娓娓道來，jazz chant如何創造、如何教，運用spoken English，任何題材都能變成jazz chant...，對於這首歌的喜愛，變得更有實質內涵了。
