Unit 8 Celebrating Me!
Lesson45 Be Yourself!
新课导入
Do you like to talk about yourself to others
Why or why not
What are your strong points and weak points
说一说
Be Yourself
Someone falls to pieces
Sleeping all alone, someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
She finally drifts away
Someone gets excited in a chapel yard
And catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave
And to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
Someone finds salvation in everyone

weak points.
