Homework

A. Choose a song in English which you really like and which is available on YouTube. Insert
the link here and let me know, in a paragraph, why you like this particular song.

Is’s hard for me to choose a song in English because I don’t listen to any music (in Romanian
or English). I don’t like any music because I don’t understand why an idea is repetitive or is
“expanded” (many stanzas which can be reduce to a single idea or in each stanza is the same
idea).
Despite of this, I can say I like “Blessed Be Your Name” because it reminds me of a camp in
Austria (this song was the hymn of my team).
