Antonym Pairs

This is a cloze using the Christmas pop song, "Last Christmas". I first play the original Wham version and then the second time, play the Taylor Swift cover version. The song is also a good opportunity to look at body part idioms (e.g. a shoulder to cry on, catch my eye, give my heart away) Enjoy!
