Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! Today we're tackling a word that brings a lot of joy and sometimes a little bit of embarrassment – “karaoke”! Now, the dictionary gives us a pretty good explanation, don't you think? Let’s break it down nice and slow: “Karaoke” means a really fun way to spend an evening. It’s like a party game, you see! People gather together, usually in clubs or at their own homes, ready for a musical spree. They listen to songs – popular tunes, that is – but without the lead singer. Instead, there's just music playing, all instruments and beat. And here’s the clever bit: the words, the lyrics, are shown on a screen bright and bold! They appear as the music plays, so everyone can sing along, feeling brave and uncontrolled! It’s about joining in, letting loose, and belting out your favorite songs – even if you don't think you're perfect at it. Think of it like a musical duet... with yourself! Does that make sense? Any questions about what “karaoke” is all about?
