         Hi Kieran … We’ve just started spring (as far as I know) … but if you’ve somehow managed to leap frog into summer, let me know how you did it – I could use some serious beach time right about now …

            Wishful thinking on my behalf, John. I meant Easter ; )

   Thanks for your work, I’d like to use this with my students but the video doesn’t work, where can I get it? as in youtube there is only a preview???

   Thanks

         I worked through the lesson with a bunch of B2 ESL students yesterday. Link to the blog: http://stopandlearnenglish.blogspot.com.es/2012/04/mr-happy-man-from-film-english.html
         I hope you don’t mind my linking, it’s for my students to go back to it easily, as I have other tasks for them on their classroom blog, too!
         The lesson brought so much discussion, both about the film and about the quotes that I had to set the composition as homework, so brilliant, as it made speak in English for quite a while.
         Thanks a bunch again!

    Thank you for posting this. I used it in two different lessons today. One was an advanced group and the other was an intermediate one on one. It went well in both. I will use it in future lessons as well. Thanks again! Love the lesson and the site.
