Pupil 5: There were four people in this group. John Lennon is considered to be the organizer and the leader of the ensemble. He was born on the 9th of October 1940 in Liverpool. John's father, Alfred (or Fred) worked as a waiter on merchant ships. John's mother's name was Julia Stanley; she was kind and cheerful. John lived with his mother only for 18 months. His father was thought to have died at sea, so Julia re-married. This is why John was brought up by his aunt Mary, Stanley's elder sister. John called her Mimi.

Pupil 6: Mimi was kind and clever, but very strict and sometimes sharp. She loved little John very much. her greatest wish was to give John good education. He entered an elementary school at the age of five.

Pupil 7: John enjoyed painting. His favorite book was Alice in Wonderland. Later, he was fond of reading books by Robert Louis Stevenson and Edgar Allan Poe, or books about artists. After finishing the elementary school, John attended the Quarry Bank Grammar School for Boys. However, the teachers didn't like him because John wouldn't follow the strict rules. John wasn't a good student at his school. His mother Julia encouraged her son to pursue musical hobbies, teaching him to play the harmonica. Julia later bought a guitar for her son and John spent a lot of hours playing different melodies.

Pupil 8: One day he had the idea to organize a band. The group was formed and called themselves The Quarry Men. The boys began playing at home and school parties, birthday parties and street holidays. John became acquainted with Paul McCartney at one of the holidays in 1956. John Lennon once said that the story of the Beatles had begun on that day when he had met Paul McCartney.

Pupil 9: James Paul McCartney was born on June 18, 1942. His mother Mary was a nurse in one of the hospitals. She was a very reserved, patient and diplomatic woman. His father James McCartney was 9 years older than his mother. He was an employer. Paul had a younger brother Michael. They were good friends. People called them twins. As a boy, Paul was patient and kind; everybody called him a diplomat.

Paul performed well at the Liverpool Institute, doing best at Latin, Greek and English Spelling. He took an active part in extracurricular activities. At school Paul found out that he was left-handed – he couldn’t write with his right hand.

Pupil 10: The McCartney family loved music. His father often played the piano at home. Paul was 13 years old when his mother died. The boys and the father felt a terrible loss. Paul was keen on football, but music didn’t play an important part in his childhood. However, he learned to compose songs on his piano very quickly. Paul asked his father to buy him a guitar. He had to rearrange the strings on his guitar because he played with his left hand. Paul was fond of rock’n’roll and Elvis Presley. His brother Mike remembers, "When Paul took up the guitar, he forgot everything. He didn’t want to waste time even for dinner. He played everywhere even in the bathroom”…

Pupil 11: Paul McCartney and John Lennon met for the first time at the church square in Vulton. Neither of them knew that they would be best friends.

 Pupil 12: McCartney joined Lennon's group The Quarry Men. The two began to compose songs together, and it was those songs that drew the people's attention to them. Their first professional concerts were in Hamburg, Germany and it was there that they perfected their sound. They had to play night after night and after two years, they had become an exciting band to watch. Lennon was always the rebel and made an impressive figure on stage. When they moved back to Liverpool, they began to play at the Cavern Club, where all the new bands were playing. They found a manager, Brian Epstein, who gave them a new "clean” image. He tried to get them a record company deal, but no one would take them on at first. Finally, the small label Parlophone released "Love Me Do”, a Lennon \ & McCartney composition. Will you sing it, please.

Pupil 13: George Harrison was born on February 12, 1943, in a big and friendly family. There were four children in the family, of which George was the youngest. His mother, Louisa, was merry and very kind. She worked as a shop-assistant. His father, Gerald Harrison, was a tall thin man. He was a bus driver.

 Pupil 14: George was a very obedient child. He helped old people and took care of animals. Unfortunately, he was often ill. During his childhood he wasn't interested in music, but he was fond of various shows. He was a very good student in school. It took him little time to do his homework due to the fact that he had a good memory. Later on he learned to sew and altered his school trousers to fashionable tight ones. He went in for track-and-field athletics, played football, swam well and liked riding bikes.

Pupil 15: When George studied at the Institute he became interested in skiffle. His idol was Lonny Donegan. Louisa bought a guitar for her son. George taught himself to play the guitar with a book. He couldn't play well at first, and his fingers got bloody. With the help of his mother he was able to learn to play the guitar. One day on his way to the Institute George met Paul McCartney on the bus. They became friends and had the same interests. Harrison played the guitar better than Paul and was invited to the group, becoming the leading guitarist.

Pupil 16: Ringo Starr was born on July 7, 1940. His father, Richard Henry Parkin Starki, worked as a baker. His wife, Elsie Gleeve, was a waitress in a bar. Elsie worked hard, which is why little Richard had to stay alone or at their neighbour’s. Richard was very sociable as a result. He was a very weak boy and often missed classes at school. He couldn’t read even at the age of 8, though Elsie tried her best to help her son.He was invited to join the group in summer 1962. He was paid 25 pounds a week.

Pupil 17: Thus, the group was formed. The Beatles changed pop music forever. From their first single "Love Me Do” in 1962, people heard something different from the usual pop of that time. Their songs seemed more musical than others and more exciting than the kind of thing most artists were recording then. The Beatles also looked nicer than anyone else. More and more people began to listen to pop music than before. A hysteria that the newspapers called "Beatlemania” swept through Britain and America. In 1964 the film "A Hard Day’s Night” was made. In this film we can see John, Paul, George and Ringo and listen to their songs.

Pupil 18: The song "Yesterday” is the best song in the album "Help!”, which was released in 1965. It is the most popular Beatles song. "Yesterday” is a romantic ballad. What is the origin of this song? Every morning Paul sat at the piano and played his own music. The melody of "Yesterday” appeared one morning while Paul was cooking breakfast. That's why first he named the song "Scrambled eggs”. But he couldn’t think of words. Nice sad music didn’t agree with simple words. The words came after several days and they were charming. Let’s try to sing it all together.

Yesterday (8 класс)

Pupil 19: Yellow Submarine” is an interesting song. Reality and fantasy are mixed in it. It is a witty and happy song with sad implication and a dynamic arrangement. We can hear the sounds of the sea, seagulls, the band, sounds of lapping water and the captain’s commands. Every 5 year old boy dreams about the adventures of a seaman. Let’s sing this song.

Yesterday.

Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly
I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
Why she had to go
I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Why she had to go
I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong,
Now I long for yesterday.

Love Me Do.

Love, love me do.
You know I love you,
I'll always be true,
So please, love me do.
Whoa, love me do.

Love, love me do.
You know I love you,
I'll always be true,
So please, love me do.
Whoa, love me do.

Someone to love,
Somebody new.
Someone to love,
Someone like you.
Love, love me do.

You know I love you,
I'll always be true,
So please, love me do.
Whoa, love me do.
Love, love me do.

You know I love you,
I'll always be true,
So please, love me do.
Whoa, love me do.
Yeah, love me do.
Whoa, oh, love me do.

Let it Be.

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted
There is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Yeah, there will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Yellow Submarine.

In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines

So we sailed up to the sun
Till we found the sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

And our friends are all aboard
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

As we live a life of ease
Everyone of us has all we need
Sky of blue and sea of green
In our yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
