What story the song tells
And explain why you think
it is interesting
Band 9.0 Sample Answer
I love listening to music, so I like a multitude of songs. However, one of my favorite
songs that I want to talk about today is “Hall of Fame” by The Script and Will.i.am.
This song was written for the 2012 Olympic Games.
When it came out, it quickly
became a hit
on every single
music chart throughout
the
world,
not
just
because
of
its
catchy
melody
,
but
also
for
its
meaningful
lyrics
. The song talks about how each of us can be a
champion
or
anything we want to be as long as we
dedicate
our time and
efforts
to doing what
we are
passionate
about. The song is
played
at
big
athletic events
to pump
up
the
crowd
, but you can easily
relate to
the
song at other times as well,
especially when you are about to
give up.
I think this song has such a powerful message that whenever I was tired or had
decided to
quit
, it would
lift me up
right away. It made me think about why I had
started in the first place and that I needed to finish the
job that I was currently
doing.
VOCABULARY:
