Here's a great chance to practise listening to a variety of authentic English accents.
Listen to this classic Lou Reed song and complete the lyrics. I recommend that you listen to it once to get a feel for it and then listen to it again and type in the missing words.
You don't need to listen to the whole song. I have only included the lyrics for the first two minutes.
Do you recognise any of the famous musicians in the clip?
To be different from the rest; to do things in your own way.
"Everyone except Sarah went to the bar. She marches to the beat of a different drum."
When you blow your own trumpet you boast about your achievements or talents; you are not modest.
"I don't want to blow my own trumpet, but I got the highest score on the test."
Listen to the first three verses of this song and choose which word is being sung.
