középfok
Whitney Houston idén 10 éve, 2012. február 11-én örökre távozott. Dolly Parton idézi fel közös munkájuk emlékét.

A videó megnézése után egészítsétek ki a szöveget a zárójelben lévő igék megfelelő igeidőbe tett alakjával.

Dolly Parton describes the moment she heard Whitney Houston’s version of ‘I Will Always Love You’. “They 1._____ (ask) me about the song months before because they 2._____ (look for) a song for that ‘Bodyguard’ movie because the one they 3._____ (plan) to use, someone else covered. So, they were looking for a song and I guess, they 4. _____ (think), well Dolly’s song ‘I Will Always Love You’ might be a good one. So, they 5._____ (ask) me about it. I 6._____ (send) it and I forgot about it.

 I 7._____ (drive) home, in my car from my office, going through Brentwood, a little town out near I live, in Nashville. And I just 8._____ (hear) this voice come on the radio like ‘if I should stay…’. It kind of ring a bell but it 9._____ (not hit) because she was kinda talking it.

And then, all of a sudden, it 10._____ (go) into the ‘I was always love you’ part and I 11._____ (have to) pull off the side of the road, seriously, to listen to it. But it was one of the most overwhelming feelings I’ve ever had. To hear that, done so well, so beautiful, so big. Had no idea I 12._____ (write) a song that could be that important. And I didn’t… I think she just took it and made it so much more than what it would’ve ever been but it 13._____ (be) such a thrill and a joy. As a songwriter, I don’t think I 14._____ (have) ever a greater thrill. Ever.”
