At the beginning of the opera, Aida, an Ethiopian princess, has been taken to Egypt as a slave. Her father, who is the king of Ethiopia, is now leading his army to save her from the Egyptians. As the Egyptian king hears this, he orders a young military commander named Radames to stop the Ethiopian army. But there is a problem: Radames is in love with Aida!
Radames successfully leads his army and defeats the Ethiopians. However, since he loves Aida, he asks the Egyptian king not to kill Aida’s father and his soldiers. The king agrees, but he then asks Radames to marry his daughter. As the Egyptians prepare for the wedding, Radames helps Aida and her father escape. If

The writer’s love for the Beatles
A simple introduction to the Beatles and their popularity
The writer’s star-struck journey with the Beatles and the Beatles’s influence on him
Read the article again and answer the following questions.
1. What does “Fab” mean And what does the “Fab Four” stand for Do you think this is a good title and why
“Fab” means “extremely good”. The “Fab Four” stands for the Beatles, which had four members. It shows the band enjoyed wide popularity and people loved them very much. In my opinion, it is a good title as it attracts readers’ attention, and it is closely related to the content of the article.
2. What do you know about the Beatles
Your show!
The Beatles
The Beatles were an English rock band, formed in Liverpool in 1960, which comprised John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. They are regarded as the most influential band of all time and were integral to the development of 1960s counterculture and popular music’s recognition as an art form. In 1970, due to the difference of opinions, the Beatles announced their breakup. Before their breakup, the band had issued more than 20 albums.
Love Me Do, Abbey Road, Yesterday, Help, Hey Jude, Let It Be, Yellow Submarine
Songs:
3. Was the writer crazy about the band How do you know
Yes. In the article the writer said twice “I was their biggest fan”. He also described his star-struck journey in detail—he had every disc ever made by the Beatles in his collection.
4. Did the writer know the style of the band very well Why do you think so
Yes. When he heard a new song, he recognized the voice of the singer, and was aware of any changes to their normal style such as different beats and tunes. Since the writer could easily identify the changes of the style made by the band, it implies that he knew their style very well.
5. What does the band mean to the writer
The Beatles’s music has accompanied him throughout his life. It has helped him look to the future with expectation and now it helps him reflect on his life with quiet satisfaction.

Michael Jackson: King of Pop
One of the main reasons Michael Jackson became my favourite singer is his lifelong devotion to his music. At an early age, Michael recorded his first music album with his family band called the Jackson 5. That was in the 1960s and it was just the beginning for the “King of Pop”. At the age of thirteen, he began his journey to becoming a world-famous solo artist with a career of almost forty years.
As Michael developed over the years as a person, so did his music. He covered a wide range of music types and gained generations of fans. His stylish dance moves and unconventional fashion sense also influenced his music and fans greatly. Those who grew up with his music, like my parents, were overjoyed whenever his next album was released, because they knew it would set the next trend. His most successful album, Thriller,
Example
was released in 1982 and worldwide, is still the bestselling album of all time. It includes the popular songs “Billie Jean”, “Beat It” and of course “Thriller”. Besides his entertaining songs, I like Michael Jackson because his music and style are genuinely original and timeless.
I remember the first time I heard his music. I was six years old and playing in my room when I heard the first drum beats of “Beat It”. I ran into the living room and heard my parents singing at the top of their voices, and they were doing a strange dance: the moonwalk. I still recall feeling amazed and delighted when I heard Jackson’s one-of-a-kind voice: the pleasant tone and catchy signature sounds he is famous for. Singing and dancing to Michael’s songs became a fun family tradition. Ever since then, if I am feeling lonely or upset, his music has come to my rescue and turned my frown upside down. That is the power of the King of Pop.
