Music can make us happy, it helps us to rest, to improve our mood, to relax. Music accompanies people all their life: from their birth till their death.
Babies sleep with their mothers’ lullabies. Children like singing and listening to children’s songs. Teenagers also sing, listen, dance to music. Adults and old people visit various concerts. We cannot imagine a day without music.

The Beatles
The name of the group I want to speak is “The Beatles”.
“The Beatles” were a well-known English rock group from Liverpool. It was formed in 1960. The group had four members: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, GeorgeHarrison and Ringo Starr. John , Paul and George played the guitars (rhythm, bass, lead), Ringo played the drums.
“The Beatles” was led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney. The real star was John Lennon. He wrote most of “The Beatles” songs. The band played in clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg to an audience of more than a hundred people. In the early 1960s their enormous popularity and the group’s music grew.
Their first hit was "Love Me Do" in 1962. They had the nickname “the Fab Four” as Beatlemania grew in Britain the next year. By early 1964 they became international stars, leading the "British Invasion" of the United States pop market.
McCartney and Ringo Starr remain musically active. John Lennon was killed by a fan in December 1980, and George Harrison died of lung cancer in November 2001.
In 1971 they finally split up. But the music of “The Beatles” didn’t die. It has something special. And their music is still very popular nowadays.
To sum up “The Beatles” are the best-selling band in history. Beatles are also the best-selling music artists in the United States. The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988.
I recommend “The Beatles” for anyone who likes music with heart, soul and plenty of energy. I advise you to listen to their songs “Yesterday” “All my loving”with good music, which are very charming and popular even nowadays. They were a brilliant gig.
Beatlemania is a term that describes the intense fan frenzy directed toward the British band.
T.: Well done, thank you.

The Eurovision Song Contest, sometimes popularly called Eurovision is the longest-running annual international TV song competition, held, primarily, among the member countries of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) since 1956. The competition was based upon the existing Sanremo Music Festival held in Italy since 1951.
Each participating country submits an original song to be performed on live television and radio and then casts votes for the other countries’ songs to determine the most popular song in the competition. The contest has been broadcast every year for sixty years, since its inauguration in 1956, and is one of the longest-running television programmes in the world. It is also one of the most watched non-sporting events in the world, with an audience between 100 million and 600 million internationally.
The 2017 Eurovision Song Contest will be held at the International Exhibition Centre in Kyiv, Ukraine. The Semi-Finals will take place on Tuesday 9th May and Thursday 11th May, and the Grand Final will be held on Saturday 13th May.
The Eurovision Song Contest has its rules. The maximum duration of each song is three minutes. The Eurovision Song Contest gives the singers a chance to perform in front of a huge audience.
