Listening text
FREDDY, THE FROG
Freddy, the frog, slid his long, thin legs into the water. He felt so tired! It seemed only yesterday that he had been a little tadpole. Within a few short weeks he had changed into the beautiful animal he saw in the water.
He smile to himself. Then suddenly he heard some music across the lake.
A fine deep sound that carried far into the darkness of the quiet night. Freddy looked up. Other frogs! I must try and find them, he thought. I need friends to cheer me up. It is so hard being a grown-up frog on my own.
He began to swim slowly towards the sound. Suddenly he knocked into a large water lily leaf lying on the water. The sound was very loud now. Freddy studied the leaf carefully. There were three confident frogs sitting still on the leaf and all three of them were playing instruments. It was their music that had amazed Freddy.
“Where did you learn to play so well ” he asked. “All my family love playing music. My father and mother both sing very well.” Freddy climbed onto the leaf. “Can I try to sing ” he asked quietly. “Of course,” they said. He opened his mouth and suddenly coughed. He tried again but he couldn’t make any sound.
“Oh! Oh!” he thought, “ What am I going to do ” Luckily he was only nervous. Then next moment he knew what he would sing and he opened is mouth wide and began: Help! I need somebody, Help! Not just anybody.
Help! You know I need someone, Help!
When I was young, so much younger then today, I never needed anybody’s help in any way. But now those days are gone. I’m not so self-assured!
Now I find I’ve changed my mind.
I’ve opened up the door.
Help me if you can, I’m feeling down and I do appreciate you being round. Help me get my feet back on the ground. Won’t you please, please help me! ( help me, help me, ooh )
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways. My independence seem to vanish in the haze. But every now and then I feel so insecure. I know that I just need you like I’ve never done before.
