ASWERING QUESTIONS
1. How can you describe something as ironic?
I describe something as ironic when I say something and I want to say just the opposite.
2. In your opinion, what is the most ironic story and what the least in the song?
For me, the most ironic is the story about "meeting the man of his dreams and meeting his beatiful wife".
I think the least ironic story is "an old man won the lottery and died the next day"; it's so easy to make.
3. Have you ever had an ironic experience?
Yes, a lot, I like to be ironic and in a lot of complicated situations... being ironic has saved me.
4. Explain an ironic anecdote that happened to you or someone you know. (Use reported speech if possible)
The phlosophy teacher said to me that in my face he saw that I was enjoying his class a lot. I said to him that yes, that I like philosophy a lot.
...
Actually, I HATE philosophy.

Task 3. Answer the following questions:
- I can describe somthing as a irony like somthing that shows one meaning and really wants to mean the opposite.
- In our opinion the most ironic history in the song it's the one of the man who is afraid to fly. He sees his kids off and then the plane crashed down.
On the other side, the least ironic history for us is the one of a man who won the lottery and died the next day, because it's so strange that he wanted to die after becoming a rich person! Don't you think?
- Yes, I have had some ironic experiencies in my life. Who hasn't had it too?
- I think there are lots of cases when people behave in a way that isn't their really personality. For example we can say that recieving presents in our birthday day isn't important for us. But we would maybe ve very pleasant if someone give us a gift, isn't it?
There are lots of cases like this, there are lots of ironic moments in our life!
