    1. The song its about growing up and its from a father to his son.
    2. I think that its true, because so many times you are worried about other things and when you finally stop for a minute to think about your life you realize that all that time life continues and you lost a lot of special moments
    3. It take place at night because a kid can´t sleep.
    4. Its like say that something its very hard to reach so you have to do a lot of effort.

    Answer these questions, please.

    1- What is this song about?
    It is about from a dad to his son

    2- What do you think of this phrase" Life is just what happens to you, while you are busy making other plans" Do you agree?
    It means that important things (or not so important) happened while we are on our bussines. So sometimes, we don't pay attention to the things that are happening.
    And perhaps, when we stop to think, we realized that the life runs quicky.

    3- What time/ When does the story take place? Why?
    At night.

    ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS, PLEASE.

    1- What is this song about?

    This song was written by John Lennon for his son Sean and it is about life. In the first part of the song, John tried to help his son because he couldn’t sleep well; and in the rest, he expressed certain phrases which should be taken into consideration by everybody due to their importance in life.

    2- What do you think of this phrase" Life is just what happens to you, while you are busy making other plans" Do you agree?

    I agree with this phrase. Most of the time we’re planning new things for the future and we pay less attention in changing or doing our daily routine happier and better, we give less importance to the present things and we need to realize that each moment is unique.

    3- What time/ when does the story take place? Why?

    This story takes place at night because it talks about a little boy who has nightmares and can’t sleep well.

    4- What is the meaning of this expression: "a hard / tough row to hoe"?

    In my view, the expression “a hard/tough row to hoe” means that something is very difficult to reach and so you have to work hard to achieve it.

    The song is about the Childhood. It was written from a father to his son.

    It takes place at night because the lyrics said it in the last phrase of the song.

    Good ...night ,Sean. See you in the morning. Right again.

    Answer these questions, please.

    1- What is this song about?
    The song written by Jhon Lennon , talks about his son, Sean, who couldn`t sleep at nights . Jhon tried to transmit tranquillity to his son with the song that he had wrote, Beautiful Boy. He talks about the growing up of his son too and how much he love him .

    2- What do you think of this phrase" Life is just what happens to you, while you are busy making other plans" Do you agree?
    I thing that this phrase means to live the life every day and every moment , because the life is one and only , and it goes fast. The life can`t wait for us, we wait for the things to happen and then, things happen, and life, too. I completely agree whit this phrase.

    3- What time/ When does the story take place? Why?
    The story / song, was released as single on 17 November 1980, before Lennon was murderer. It was written because Sean couldn`t sleep cause he had got a lot of nightmares, and his father wanted to reassure him.

    4- What is the meaning of this expression: " a hard / tough row to hoe"?

    It means, between , or something like that. The step to be a teenanger. The time to wait to grow up.
