  • TASK 3 : Listen to two songs carefully. Discuss with your partner what is happening in the world and how affects you?

    There are two songs below. One of them in English is called " I love Pop Music " telling about problems in the world. The other one is in Turkish so I translated into English. Its name is "What is happening in the life?"

    I Love Pop Music"   Lyrics

    Lyrics

    I love pop music, this is how we do it
    It's politics you can romance to
    I love pop music, sprinkle sugar through it
    Philosophy that you can dance to

    The price of oil is at an all time high and rising (yeah)
    Global warming threatens life as we know it on this planet (oh ooh)
    And leaders have not committed to a plan of action on renewable energy
    The food crisis is currently affecting a hundred million people worldwide

    I love pop music, this is how we do it
    It's politics you can romance to
    I love pop music, sprinkle sugar through it
    Philosophy that you can dance to

    Turn up the radio
    And sing along, like you're all alone
    Turn up the radio
    And sing along, like you're all alone

    There are over 6 billion people on this planet
    And not enough fresh drinking water (we're in trouble)
    Religious intolerance creating geopolitical instability (shine a light)
    Politicians battling each other like professional wrestlers (ooh)
    Further division is not the answer, division is not the answer

    I love pop music, this is how we do it
    It's politics you can romance to
    I love pop music, sprinkle sugar through it
    Philosophy that you can dance to

    Turn up the radio
    And sing along, like you're all alone
    Turn up the radio
    And sing along, like you're all alone

    Turn up the radio

    Greed and fear seem to be the driving forces of modern life
    We're encouraged to consume and consume
    With no thought of where it all comes from, and where it all goes
    Our lives are accelerating as we fall out of touch
    With nature and ancient myth
    We're desperately in need of a brand new dream

    I love pop music, this is how we do it
    It's politics you can romance to
    I love pop music, sprinkle sugar through it
    Philosophy that you can dance to

    I love pop music, this is how we do it
    It's politics you can romance to
    I love pop music, sprinkle sugar through it
    Philosophy that you can dance to
    (Turn up the radio)
    (And sing along, like you're all alone)
    (Turn up the radio)
    (And sing along, like you're all alone)

    I love pop music, this is how we do it
    It's politics you can romance to
    I love pop music, sprinkle sugar through it
    Philosophy that you can dance to
    (Turn up the radio)
    (And sing along, like you're all alone)
    (Turn up the radio)
    (And sing along, like you're all alone)


    Turkish Song


    What is happening in the life?
    I wish the dream would be real
    When I wake in the morning, Everything would be the same.
    Her voice , it is her, she might come back,
    Without me, she can’t live
    It is love
    İn the dark, in the streets she holds flowers,
    She is searching me
    She is asking me 
    I hope it will be good, hey

    What is happening in the life?
    I wish the dream would be real
    When I wake in the morning, Everything would be the same.
