							| I need your help with a song.... 
 |  
							| Hi everyone!! I �m designing a test for my teaching practice and I have to include a listening activity. I �ve been searching for a song that suits the topics I �ve dealt with, but I haven �t had any luck so far. So, if anyone knows any songs or listenings I could find easily on the web, please be so kind as to tell me! 
 The main topic of the unit was MONEY.
 I dealt with: money verbs (win, earn, save, spend, collect, lose, borrow, lend, make, need)
 vocabulary related to shopping and banking (bank account, cash, cheque book, credit card, discount, guarantee, loan, price, savings account, special offer)
 words and expressions of quantity for countable and uncountable nouns (some, any, no, a few, a little, much, many, a lot of)
 Any song or listening that includes any of these topics will work for me!!
 Thanks in advance!!

							| I came across this activity for my conversation class and we had loads of fun...There is some vocabulary for banking...This is probably not the help you wanted, but I wanted to share it with you just the same.  Have fun...   Elida   |  2 Nov 2010

							| Two songs that lend themselves naturally to your topic are "Money" by pink floyd and "Money, Money, Money" by abba. How old are the students ?  Good luck! |  2 Nov 2010

							| I �ve already used several times "Ka-ching" sung by Shania Twain - I don �t know how old your students are, but up to 14 they �ve always liked it. Hope this helps!
