How Much do you Know about Music?

Week 12^th -14^th May

Hello! How are you? I suppose you’ll be enjoying the weekend.

Last week we read the anecdote of a girl who thought she took a photo of Johnny Depp but ...he wasn't!

Last summer the girl went to Los Angeles to visit her cousin. One day while they were having lunch at a restaurant her cousin got a phone call. She went outside to talk on her mobile. Suddenly the girl saw a man that was sitting at the next table. It was Johnny Depp. He was alone. She asked if she could have a photo taken with him. He said yes. When her cousin came back, she told her. The cousin asked, 'Where is Johnny Depp?' She looked at the man sitting next table. He was smiling at them but he wasn't Johnny Depp!

We also talked about music.

·    What music, song, album do you like listening to …?

when you’re happy          when you’re in a car?       when you’re sad?

when you’re studying?    when you’re at a party?    when you’re in love?

·    What’s your favourite decade for pop music? (the 80s, 90s etc.)

·    Who are your favourite bands,/singers of all time?

·    Which was the last CD you bought?

Then, we did a pop quiz.

The quiz was called “50 years of pop”. It seems to be that the youngest person of us is  the one who knew more about music of all decades!

With this quiz we learnt about questions with and without auxiliaries.

·      When did Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of Queen, die?

·      Whose husband was the film director Guy Ritchie?

·      What happened to Mick Jagger in 2004?

   Which band included Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel?

·      Where did the Eagles stay in their 1976 song?

·         When the subject is the question word, we don’t use the auxiliary verb.

Who wrote ‘Hamlet’? Shakespeare.

(The subject is “who”)

·         In the other cases we follow the order in questions:

Question Word            Auxiliary verb   Subject            Infinitive?

Which famous play      did                 Shakespeare      write? ‘Hamlet’

We started talking about the famous song ‘Imagine’. How much do you know about it? Who wrote ‘Imagine’? Don’t worry, we’ll find out many details about this song next Tuesday; when we read an article entitled ‘Who wrote ‘Imagine’? and we’ll listen to it.

Bye! See you on Tuesday!
