1) The following text is a page of a magazine that brings some information about the 60's.
Read it carefully.

When will the sixties end? Its more than forty years now since the days of flowers and free
love, Beach Boys and the Beatles, but they still continue to obsess every one of us. We
always live in the midst of a huge sixties revival and everywhere you turn youll find some
echo of those dim, distant days. Its the music, the fashion, the haircuts, the designs, the
drugs and the politics.

FASHION - Mary Quant: She was an English fashion designer, very popular in 1960s. She
achieved a revolution in womens clothing and make-up. Her Chelsea boutique, Bazaar, opened in
1957, but it was in the 60s with the launch of the mini-skirt that her career really took off.

MUSIC - The Beatles: A British popular music group

who made their first record in 1962 and became probably
the most famous and successful group ever. The members
of the Beatles were John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo
Starr and George Harrison. Their songs were translated to
many languages and they were famous for their style of
singing. They were enormously popular and had a huge
following of young people anxious to change an outdated
society. Young people idolized them so much that they
imitated their walk, their way of dressing and their actions.
When they separated in 1970, each member of the group
continued to work in popular music.
POLITICS - John Fitzgerald Kennedy: He was the 35th president of the United States
(1961-1963), a Democrat and the first Roman Catholic to be elected. He represented hope for
peace and better understanding among all countries. He spent much of his time traveling to see
and feel the problems of every country. He was shot and killed in Dallas, Texas. His death
saddened the whole world
