At the end of module 12, which is also at the end of the Cutting Edge Intermediate book, there is a song lyric named Out of Reach. But there are some missing words between the lyric, we need to listen the song and fill the missing words in. It seems that I have known this song for a long time, maybe I had heard it before. There are some scenes come from a movie which has the Huge Grant as the main actor when I watch this song’s MTV in Youtube, this song must have been one of the movie’s soundtrack. So I unlocked my DOG to search the connections between the song and one unknown movie. You know, in China, we call the Google as DOG just like a nickname. I couldn’t found the relations according to IMDB, however, there is another song which was mentioned by David while he was playing a Charades game with us. Its name is Can’t get you out of my head.

Gosh, I got it. Out of Reach was the soundtrack of Bridget Jones’s Diary, and Can’t get you out of my head was for Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (Bridget Jones’s Diary 2).

Gabriellle - Out Of Reach

Knew the signs, wasn’t right
I was stupid for a while
Swept away by you
And now I feel like a fool
So confused, my heart’s bruised
Was I ever loved by you?

Out of reach, so far
I never had your heart
Out of reach, couldn’t see
We were never meant to be

Catch myself from despair
I could drown if I stay here
Keeping busy everyday
I know I will be OK
But I was so confused, my heart’s bruised
Was I ever loved by you?

Out of reach, so far
I never had your heart
Out of reach, couldn’t see
We were never meant to be

So much hurt, so much pain
Takes a while to regain what is lost inside
And I hope that in time, you’ll be out of my mind
And I’ll be over you

But now I’m so confused, my heart’s bruised
Was I ever loved by you?

Out of reach, so far
I never had your heart
Out of reach, couldn’t see
We were never meant to be

Out of reach, so far
You never gave your heart
In my reach, I can see
There’s a life out there for me

The rules for Charades

Charades is a party game in which one player acts out a word or phrase without speaking, which the other players in her team try to guess. Secret words are on cards and the actor has about a minute to act out his phrase to his teammates.

A number of standard signals have come into common usage in charades. To indicate the general category of a word or phrase:
Book title: Unfold your hands as if they were a book.
Movie title: Pretend to crank on old-fashioned movie camera.
Song title: Pretend to sing.
TV show: Draw a rectangle to outline the TV screen.

To show other features of the word or phrase:
Number of words in the title: Hold up the number of fingers.
Which word you’re working on: Hold up the number of fingers again.
Number of syllables in the word: Lay the number of fingers on your arm.
Which syllable you’re working on: Lay the number of fingers on your arm again.
Length of word: Make a “little” or “big” sign as if you were measuring a fish.
The entire concept: Draw a big circle with your hands in the air.
Correct guess: Point at your nose with one hand, while pointing at the person with your other hand.
Sounds like (the word you are miming rhymes with the word you want): Cup one hand behind an ear, or pull on your earlobe.
Longer version of: Pretend to stretch a piece of elastic.
Shorter version of: Do a ‘karate chop’ with your hand.
Plural: Link your little fingers.
Person’s Name: Tap the top of your head with on open palm.
Past tense: Wave your hand over your shoulder towards your back.
“I” is signed by pointing at one’s eye, or one’s chest.
“The” is signed by making a “T” sign with the index fingers.
