Video: Seventeen

This song by Celine Dion is about teenage frustration when one is excluded because of his or her looks. We can listen to simple past and vocabulary about social life in high school. In the quiz we are asked to fill in the gaps in the lyrics. It can be a starting point for a debate on beauty and success. We may also compare this ballad to the original by Janis Ian in the second video. There are a full transcript and some notes about the singer.
