Listening and discussing news. Students learn about the popular app TikTok and worries that it is dangerous for the US user’s security. Tasks are followed by speaking about government’s role in regulating social media. There is lead-in, a vocabulary matching exercise, gap fill (listening for details), comprehension check, and speaking assignment. The tasks can be used in a listening and speaking lesson or be a warm-up exercise for a speaking class. There are True/False statements to check understanding. The tasks can be used for independent studies or distance-learning classes.

Another song from Imagine Dragons, the latest release from their "Smoke+Mirrors" album. This is a very good song, with meaningful lyrics.

There are some tasks to do while they're listening and a vocab focus on the verb get and it's different meanings, which I used in conjunction with an activity from Cutting Edge Upper Intermediate but you could do without it. If you know the different meanings the verb has you could draw your own diagram for the Ss to copy and use. 

There is another optional vocab focus on phrasal verbs used in the video if you'd like to work on that.
