The document describes how discovering the band Queen at age 8 changed the narrator's life. It discusses how before finding Queen, the narrator played with Barbies and watched kids shows, but after hearing "The Great Pretender", "Love Kills", and "Bohemian Rhapsody", the narrator became interested in learning English and rock music from the 1970s and 1980s. Now 15 years later, rock music still defines the narrator's professional life teaching students and is an important part of their life.

5. INSTEAD OF PLAYING WITH
BARBIES….
Oh yes I'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not you see I'm
wearing my heart like a crown pretending
that you're pretending that you're still
round
(THE GREAT PRETENDER) Love won't take no reservations, love is no
square deal Hey love don't give no
justification, it strikes like cold steel
(LOVE KILLS)
Mama just killed a man Put a gun against
his head Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life has just begun
(BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY)
