MY CHILHOOD MEMORIES

When I was five years old, in my chilhood, I spent an extraordinary summer holiday on a summer camp. The summer camp was full of friends and we enjoyed it a lot. One evening, when the sun was falling, a small group of boys and girls went to walk to the mountain and we wanted to go to a derelict house that was on the top of a hill. We walked for about an hour and we finally arrived at the house called “Ca l’Esclau” when the sun was setting. We stayed there for about another hour and we had dinner. Then, we started to talk about the camp and the people and then, a boy said something about the “house” where we were and everybody started to talk about the legend of the old house’s slave. The legend was very macabre and sad, I felt sad all the night and I started to be afraid. When the boy finished, all the children were afraid and we silently and sadly returned to the camp, now it was night.

Opinion Text: Hey Jude

My favourite song is Hey Jude. There are more than one singer who sing the song; the artists are Paul Mc Cartney, John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrisson. The group was called "The Beatles" and they sang in the Sixties. They are the most popular group of the Sixties. They are the most popular group of the Sixties. "The Beatles" were created in Liverpool, their native city. They first performed in Liverpool, at pubs and little theatres, but faster they went to London and the became very popular in the city, the country and all over the world, especially John Lennon and Paul Mc Cartney. I think their most famous song is "Help!" and not "Hey Jude" but all their songs are very popular. "Hey Jude" is about a man who wants to have the love of the girl called Jude. The boy tells him that she has to think about it. The group "The Beatles" doesn't exist today because John Lennon was murdered and George Harrisson died of cancer. But they are still very popular and Paul Mc Cartney still sings or he has been singing for a lot of years on his own and he has made a lot of money. "Hey Jude" is also a song who gives you a hope. I like this song because the melody is catchy an good and the lyrics are good found. It's important for me because when I was a child I listened to this song in the MP3 a lot of times and I like it very much. When I hear this song I fell happy to sing it but a little sad because the melody is a little sad I think. I listened and I like to listen this song when I am allone at home or when I travel on the MP3. I like the general message of the song because it's sad but at the same time it gives a hope. I only find a negative aspect in the song: it's too long (it lasts 7 minutes), and the coda lasts about four minutes and it's a little repetitive, I would like to change or cut a part of the coda. The videoclip is good and I like it but it's a little old fashioned, but I understand it. I think the videoclip is not connected to the lyrics at all because the lyrics are sad and the videoclip atmosphere is happy. In the videoclip we can see a lot of young people dancing arround the music group "The Beatles" who are playing the instruments and singing. Everybody looks good and happy. In conclusion, "Hey Jude" is a good song written by the most famous music group of the Sixties and the song has got a good melody and good lyrics, but the coda is too long. The song is emotive and melancolic with good details and harmony. It's an exciting and moving song.
