Today we shall learn different facts about your classmates’ traits of character, we’ll read and discuss new information about the famous British and American people, we’ll remember the rules of making questions and word-building.
I’d like you to develop your mind and imagination, to form some intellectual skills during the lesson, to become more skilled and well-educated and as a result you will improve your English.

He sold millions of records, served in the army, moved to Hollywood and appeared in 33 films. He brought together the musical sounds of the black America and of country people. His songs started a new period in American music.
He was the most popular performer of his day. At the news of his death in 1977, thousands of people gathered outside his home in Memphis.
His songs are still popular today. People love to imitate him. There is even his Impersonation Society. His impersonators dress up like he and sing on stage. Some of them actually wish they were he.
