Упр.1 Юнит 2 Урок 3 ГДЗ English Кузовлев 9 класс

Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Кузовлев 9 класс, Просвещение:

1. Teenagers have always had different musical tastes. Ben and Robert are talking about the music they prefer.

1) Do Ben and Robert have similar tastes in music?

Most of my classmates like rock. They think that bands and musicians like Led Zeppelin, Cream, Jimi Hendrix and others made a great breakthrough in the history of rock. But my parents think that their music is too aggressive and dangerous. I don’t think their music is destructive. I agree that their albums are great achievements with no bad songs on them. But their music is too complicated for me. I like dance music with its catchy tunes. I adore its energy and rhythm, and I don’t try to look for any sense in the lyrics. I want only a rhythm and a tune. That’s all I need in music!

Ben Madison

I like classical music. I’d like to know some teens who are interested in the classics because this is the MUSIC, the beginning of it all. I have got two favourite composers though they are very different. They are Tchaikovsky and Gershwin. I’ve heard Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No.1. It’s fantastic! The Russians have always put so many feelings into their music. There is a Russian flavour2 in almost all of his works, and Tchaikovsky gives them life and character. Gershwin is my other idol. I am sorry that few young people know about him because without his works the music we listen to today wouldn’t appear. Glenn Miller and the swing era are built on his music. Though I am not keen on jazz I like Gershwin’s music. It’s fantastic, it’s classics in jazz!

Robert Kraft

2) Which of the ideas below are expressed by these teens? Which of them belong to Ben and which of them belong to Robert?

— Energetic and rhythmic music is what he wants.

— Gershwin’s music is special because it is jazz and classics at the same time.

— Led Zeppelin’s, Cream’s and Jimi Hendrix’s albums are very good with very good songs on them.

— Tchaikovsky and Gershwin are very different classical composers.

— Tchaikovsky’s music is so good because there are many feelings in it.

— The lyrics are important in the songs.

— There are bands and musicians that have made something new in rock. Led Zeppelin, Cream and Jimi Hendrix are musicians who have gone down in history.
