Elton John – Imagine, posted with vodpod

As Elton John is coming to Locarno/Ticino/Switzerland on the 12th July to give a concert I would like to remind you

of that event. He is an English rock singer-songwriter, composer, pianist and occasional actor. In his four-decade career

the artist has sold more than 250 million records, making him one of the most

successful artists of all time. His single “Candle in the Wind“

which he produced in 1997 was sold 33 million times.

IMAGINE, originally by John Lennon, was covered by Elton John in 1980 in Central Park to pay a tribute to the former artist.

I’ve prepared you a “drag & drop”  (drag the parts of the sentences from the right hand side to the left)

exercise about the song which you can correct online.http://www.langedi49.ch/Imagine.htm

Some words or expressions from the song: Don’t tell me it’s not worth trying/fighting: Non mi dire che non vale la pena di provare/di battersi/ Sag mir nicht, dass sich ein Versuch nicht lohnt
