Let's learn English through songs. It's a fun and simple way for you to brush up on your listening skills. You can listen to the words over and over again until you can fully understand them.

Joss Stone became famous in 2004, despite only having been 15 at the time. She has a very recognizable voice and writes her own music as well as covering famous songs.

I said it once before but it bears repeating
Now add the eight missing words to the spaces below:
