Hot Cross Buns
One of my friends mentioned the song ‘Hot Cross Buns’. I haven’t thought about that song in a long time!
I used to sing it in primary school!
So here it is! A nice memory for me, and you can learn to sing it too!

WOW! That\’s one of my daughter\’s favorite English songs!
She can\’t really say, \"Hot cross buns\" but seems she loves it anyway.
As for me, singing
\"But if you have none of these little elves\"
is hard.
How cute!
why is that sentence difficult for you? Is it the pronunciation?
If I\’m not singing but just reading, I could say that without any problem.
I think it\’s about melody I\’m having a problem with.
Sounds like \"If \" is longer than any other parts of melody. I don\’t know much about music though.
Yes, I am not good with music either! I like singing, but I think noone likes to listen to my singing! ha ha!
