Lesson 5, Ex.3a

Chris:

Hi, guys. Can I ask you some questions for the magazine “Light on music”?

1^st Tiger:

Sure! We like interviews. But first, can you please write in your article that we liked our concert a lot!

2^nd Tiger:

Yeah. The crowd was fantastic tonight. It was really cool to play here!

Chris:

Thank you, guys. I’m sure the audience also liked the concert. You moved the crowd, they were really crazy tonight.

3^rd Tiger:

OK, man, what are your questions?

Chris:

Well, I’d like to know when you started singing.

2^nd Tiger:

Well, we first met at the primary school we went to. Then we all met again at the school choir… What class were we in?

1^st Tiger:

8^th. We were in class 8. Remember how much fun we had at Music lessons?

3^rd Tiger:

Yes, it was fun.

Chris:

So, you all sang in the school choir, right?

2^nd Tiger:

Yes, but we also played in the school band.

Chris:

Oh? What instruments?

1^st Tiger:

Well, we tried many instruments. I played the piano and the flute, Daniel played the saxophone and the violin and Jake was always crazy about drums.

Chris:

I see. You must have had good music teachers.

3^rd Tiger:

Yes, man. We were lucky. None of us comes from a family of musicians so everything we learnt in music is from our school teachers.

Chris:

OK, let’s move on, guys. Who writes music for your songs? And who writes the songs?

2^nd Tiger:

Most of the songs were written by Jake. He’s our lyrics writer.

Chris:

Yeah, a very good writer. Your songs aren’t just rhyming words, they make people think. It’s rare and it’s great.

3^rd Tiger:

Thank you, Chris. I’m glad you like my lyrics… Well, as for the music, we all write music, each of us.

1^st Tiger:

Yeah. Writing music is a great way of saying what you think.

Chris:

What are your plans for next year, guys? Are you going on tours or are you going to write music in the studio?

3^rd Tiger:

Well, we are going on a month-long tour around Europe next May and then we’re playing concerts in Russia next October.

2^nd Tiger:

And we’re also planning to finish our new album. We’ve recorded only two songs for it – there’s a lot to be done.

Chris:

It’s going to be a busy year!

1^st Tiger:

Yes, but we don’t mind. We’re happy we have to say a lot to our audience.

Chris:

Thank you for the interview, Tigers! We’ll be waiting for your new albums and new concerts.
