last test :)

Hello my dearest students
Welcome to your last test :P
The test is not very long but you need to control yourselves in order not to write a lot.

Group I

• 3 songs - identify the musical style, the artist and the decade (2 extra points if you get the title of the song right) - 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s
• some vocabulary exercises about the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s
• another exercise :)

Group II

• a looooooong text and 1 question (about something important in one of those decades)

Group III

• 1 exercise with sentences to rephrase using the subjunctive (The band advised the fans to sing - The band advised that the fans sing)
• 1 exercise with "heaven forbid, suffice it to say, come what may, so be it"

Group IV

• writing...

50s - conformism/conservative society > counterculture: pop art / rock'n'roll / beat generation ...

60s - revolution: sex, drugs, rock'n'roll, hippies, human rights...

70s - change: pill, feminist movements, environmentalism, cold war, disco, glam rock, punk rock,...

80s - diversity: pop, technology, hard rock, heavy metal, end of communism and the cold war, crisis,...

These are only some examples. I just want you to have fun during the test.

Publish some of your favourite songs. Maybe I'll do the same ;)

Hippies vs Anti-war

   

An important aspect of the hippie’s movement was the anti-war protest. Many people were against the war, and this was shown in the music of many popular artists of the time, including Bob Dylan, The Beatles, and Pete Seeger.
