1.
Reading.
This is a story of pop
music but the paragraphs are mixed up. Decide in what order they should follow.
What is Pop.
1. The
80’s gave us a new kind of music made by computers and synthesizes. Pop was
becoming more international. Superstars of the 80’s are, of course, Michael
Jackson and Madonna. At that time pop videos were sold out as well as pop
records. M. Jackson’s videos were new and exciting. He was brilliant dancer
with a new type of dance called moonwalk.
2. Pop
music was born in the USA in the 50’s. There existed all kinds of music in
the USA in those days: blues, jazz, rock and roll and others. Pop
appeared, in fact, at the time Elvis Presley began singing. His first hit was “
Heartbreak Hotel” (1956). Elvis became the first pop star. Boys and girls liked
him and imitated him. He was different and they all wanted to be like him and
different from their parents.
3. The
90’s are known and will be remembered for rap. Rap wasn’t knew, it
started in New York in the 70’s but it became popular and important twenty
years later. Rap like punk in the 70’s was the music of the city
streets. It reflected dark feelings and problems of the streets and a new
danger – AIDS.
4. “ Pop”
is popular music. It was born as a genre more than forty years ago. Pop is
the music for the young. Pop songs tell us about love and our feelings, having
a good time and growing up, dating and dancing. The music makes us happy or
sad, it sounds strange or amusing. It’s the most enjoyable type of music.
5. In the
early 70’s pop music started to get boring. New sounds as heavy metal or
hard rock appeared. In the USA a different kind of music was developing
– punk. The music was loud and unmusical, angry and ugly, and
pessimistic. At the same time another type of music came into existence – disco.
The film “ Saturday Night Fever” about disco dancing made it extremely popular.
6. Nowadays
the sound is changing greatly. Computers are very important. Samplers can take
any sound and make it into part of a new sound. CDs are more important than
records. The only thing that hasn’t changed is the electric guitar – the main
musical instrument of pop.
7. The
60’s were a time when young people believed that rock music could give love and
peace to the world. But when some great rock musicians died of drugs, it was
the end of the dream. There were many prominent musicians and singers in
America, but it was English groups that changed pop music: the Beatles and
Rolling Stones.
