LEARNING ENGLISH WITH SONGS .— Кам’янець-Подільський : Науково-методичний центр ЗОШ № 7, 2018. — 34 с. Даний посібник розрахований для учнів загальноосвітніх середніх шкіл та всіх, хто полюбляє пісню, для вивчення англійської мови за допомогою пісень, адже вони лунають всюди: їдемо на навчання або на роботу – слухаємо радіо в маршрутному таксі; прибираємо вдома – включаємо музичний канал; виходимо на ранкову пробіжку – плеєр та навушники є неодмінними супутниками. Улюблені іноземні пісні прокручуються в пам’яті та ми частенько їх наспівуємо, навіть не знаючи мови. Ось чому вони займають одне з перших місць в рейтингу корисних мовних інструментів. І це насправді дуже легко! Чому? Тому, що пісня являє собою завершену історію, яка складається з коротких та часто досить простих речень. Їх нескладно запам’ятати та відтворити, тим більше якщо читати текст одразу прослуховуючи пісню. Наспівувати тексти відомих пісень правильно це насамперед красиво. Погодьтесь, «йо ма ха, йо ма со» та «фрістайла» зараз викликають тільки насмішки зі сторони оточуючих. Ще й до всього багатьом справді цікаво дізнатись зміст улюблених пісень. Тут ви знайдете пісні від класики минулого століття і до сучасних пісень, які ми чуємо сьогодні на перших сходинках світових музичних каналів. Сподіваюсь, що через пісню ви ще краще удосконалите свої знання з англійської мови. 2

The Beatles were an English rock band that became arguably the most successful act of the 20th century. They contributed to music, film, literature, art, and fashion, made a continuous impact on popular culture and the lifestyle of several generations. Their songs and images carrying powerful ideas of love, peace, help, and imagination evoked creativity and liberation that outperformed the rusty Soviet propaganda and contributed to breaking walls in the minds of millions, thus making impact on human history. In July of 1957, in Liverpool, 'Paul McCartney (I)' met John Lennon. Both were teenagers. Paul impressed John with 4

The band has taken the habit of covering rock and roll songs during live performances (The Beatles' "Ticket to Ride" or The Who's "My Generation"). Fools Garden's interest in British music is such that cover versions of The Beatles' songs "Cry Baby Cry" and "Martha My Dear" appeared on their studio albums.
