Homework
Use the notes you made in 2c to write a short summary of the passage. Write no more than 100 words.(要用上现在完成时态)
When I was young
I’d listen to the radio
Waiting for my favorite songs
When they played I’d sing along
It made me smile.
Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they’d gone
But they’re back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well.
Yesterday Once More(昨日重现)
Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they’re starting to sing. So fine.
When they get to the part
Where he’s breaking her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It’s yesterday once more.
Thank you
