We discussed the problem of being forever young and we saw that each person have its own opinion whether to try to live forever and search some means for it, or just enjoy your life and not to think about the age. At home you'll write an essay ( 12-15 sentences). The topics are written for you. You can choose any of them. "Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise", "We come to die", "Let us die young or let us live forever". Let's translate them to be sure that you understand the task.

Аудирование

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
why don`t they stay young

It`s so hard to get old without a cause
I don`t want to perish like a fading horse
Youth`s like diamonds in the sun
and diamonds are forever

Forever young, I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever, forever and ever
Forever young, I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever? Forever young
