F2F Class Notes (Lily) [S/P]

A recent Japanese TV drama that Allison watched:

It is about three wives. They cheated on their husband. One husband is very serious, and mean to his wife, he thinks he’s only one who makes money at home.  So he thinks he have right to blame to require others to do everything. His wife is a full-time mother. At first, she’s very careful to do cheating, when her husband found out, she began to laugh at her husband for his misbehaviour. Another wife, she has a part-time job in a supermarket, but her husband don’t have sex during the marriage, he refuses every time. One day, her husband yelled at her because she lost his mouse. She met a teacher in a school and began to date.

This TV show is to tell people we should focus on women in the marriage. Some women are full time mothers in the marriage, they don’t have jobs and their life is very boring, especially when their husbands are very rude, women is very hard.

It is about three wives. They cheated on their husband. One husband is very serious and mean to his wife, he thinks he’s the only one who makes money at home.  So he thinks he has the right to blame and ask others to do everything. His wife is a full-time mother. At first, she’s very cautious with cheating, when her husband found out, she began to scorn her husband for his rudeness. The other wife, she has a part-time job in a supermarket, but her husband doesn’t have sex with her in the marriage, he refuses every time. One day, her husband yelled at her because she lost his pet mouse. She met a teacher in a school and began to date him.

This TV show informs us that we should focus on the condition of women in the marriage. Some women are full time mothers in the marriage, they don’t have a job and their life is very boring. It becomes worse  especially when their husbands are very rude,( it is hard/ difficult for women).

The Rolling Stones are the oldest performing rock band in music history. They started out in London in 1962 and have been commercially successful for over fifty years. Of the original line-up three members are still in the band: lead singer Mick Jagger, guitarist Keith Richards and drummer Charlie Watts. Ronnie Woods joined the band in 1975. Up to today, the Stones have sold more than 200 million albums.

The idea of founding a rock and roll band goes back to the schooldays of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. In 1962 they performed at the Marquee Club in London for the first time. The music they played at that time was not rock and roll but rhythm and blues.

The Rolling Stones’ first US tour in June 1964 was not very successful, partly because they hadn’t had a hit record at that time.  The Beatles, formed at around the same time, were skyrocketing to success and landed one hit single after the other. While the Beatles had been gentleman-like, nice and always neatly dressed The Stones had been their counterparts, the bad boys, the Anti-Beatles, wearing longer hair and showing a more aggressive musical style.

International breakthrough came in 1965 with their number one hit Satisfaction. The Stones had their most successful time in Britain and the US during 1965 and 1966. In 1967 members of the Rolling Stones were accused of taking drugs. Guitarist Brian Jones could not stand the pressure of success and left the band in 1969. He committed suicide.
