二：背景信息

"My Hands" is a song recorded by British singer-songwriter Leona Lewis for her second studio album Echo. It was written by Arnthor Birgisson and Ina Wroldsen and produced by the former. Alongside Birgisson, Lewis was involved with the song's vocal production. Lyrically, it is about life after leaving someone like lover, families or friends. The strings were performed by Urban Soul Orchestra, who were led by Simon Fischer. "My Hands" was selected as the official theme song for the English version of the video game Fin.

三：教学建议：

这首歌可以放在lead-in部分。教师在刚上课的时候播放歌曲，让学生听有多少种情绪在里面。吸引学生注意力，为下面授课做铺垫。

这首歌也可以放在讲授语法agree的相关短语时使用。（1）教师讲授agree短语的一般搭配：sb. agree to…，然后询问学生还有没有其他短语。 （2）教师给学生一分钟在歌词里面寻找agree，看与什么搭配。 （3）请学生们回答，得出答案：agree也可以偶尔与物搭配，比如歌词中的my hands only agree to hold…体现一种以小见大的效果，hands 其实也表示I。
