歌名：Season In The Sun

作者名：Westlife

歌曲背景信息：Seasons In The Sun 的法文原唱，由著名诗人作曲家 Jacques Brel 写于1961年。1964年被填上英文歌词，定名为“Seasons In The Sun”，但直到1973年才被加拿大歌手 Terry Jacks 重新翻唱并在加拿大和美国获得了前所未有的成功。歌曲的内容大致描述一个罹患癌症、不久于人世的男子，在面临死亡的时候，对父亲、妻子以及挚友的依依难舍，向他一生和自己分享欢乐悲伤的爱人朋友甚至情敌道别，嘱咐他们照顾好自己的妻子。歌曲曲调轻快缓慢，歌词简单易懂，有大量的一般过去时的句型描述，适合初中的英语学习。

教学建议：歌曲有大量的一般过去时的句型描述，教师可以把这首歌作为一般过去时语法点教授的歌曲导入，引起学生的兴趣。同时，教师可以对歌曲中有关过去进行时的句子中的东西进行挖空，让学生填入正确的动词格式，让学生在有趣的氛围中检测一般过去时动词的使用情况。此歌同时可以引发学生对于生活的思考，珍惜时间与生命，珍惜当下的朋友与家人，树立正确的人生观。
