背景信息：

Teenage Life这首歌是Daz和他的长期合作者John Matthews一起创作的，06年3月Daz携此曲代表英国参加欧洲电视网歌唱大赛，这也是英国第一次选派RAP作品参赛，而此前能够将欧洲电视网大赛的王冠带回英国也是Daz的最大愿望，但是未能如愿。

Teenage Life这首歌开头的童声十分可爱，宛如天籁。这首歌要表达的是：一个过来人对学校老师们老生常谈的、泯灭孩子天性的教学方法及分数挂帅的学校教学模式对学生的摧残进行嘲讽与批评。

教学建议：

虽然歌曲实质上是对传统教学方法和教学模式的批判，但其中依旧不乏有对学校各方面日常生活的描写。我们可以以这首歌为课堂的导入，听完以后询问学生歌曲中有哪些与他们学校生活相似和共鸣的点，以此来吸引学生的兴趣，以及引入本文的主题。同时可以借此引起更深刻的话题讨论，如对学校日常生活中某些事件的看法。
