IV. Reading
My favourite TV programme
My
name is Yulya. I am a student. One of my hobbies is travelling. I have already
visited many parts of France but my dream is a world tour. As I am student, I
do not have enough money for it. The only way out is my favourite TV programme
"Around the World". It is a daily program-me, so I have an
opportunity to visit different countries every day without leaving my house!
Each programme is dedicated to one country. I am fond of foreign languages,
English and German, so I watch the programmes about English and German speaking
countries with special interest. It is a good chance for me to learn something
new about these countries and their citizens. I may see places of historical
interest, which I have only read about. I listen to legends, connected with
famous people and see the places they were born in. The latest programme was
dedicated to England. I had an opportunity to see old castles, learn their long
history and get acquainted with their inhabitants. As I am fond of the Beatles,
I wanted to know something new about the most successful pop group the world
has ever known. The Beatles have always been in the news headlines, films and
sometimes scandal. Their song «Love Me Do», which in 1962 entered the British
hit Parade, in 1982, was again in the Top Ten! A lot of people still long for
the music of the Beatles, the music of freedom and piece. The next programme
will be dedicated to the USA. I hope to learn something about Elvis Presley,
who influenced the famous Lennon and McCartney early songs. a headline (s)
