Episode 001 | IELTS speaking (Part 2) | Talk about a song from your country
An amazing IELTS speaking (Part 2) topic: Talk about a song from your country. Hello. This is Dr. Muhammad Khalil Moussa. The topic today is: Talk about a song from your country. Well, In country Egypt there are so many beautiful songs but if I have to talk about one of the classics then I will definitely choose a song entitled: my country is so beautiful or (Helwa Y Baladi) in Arabic. The singer is Dalida who is quite famous and she passed away 20 years ago and despite the fact that she lived most of her life in her country France. She still had nostalgic feelings for her childhood days in Cairo, Egypt. That's why she decided to sing that song to describe the beauty of Egypt and how kind-hearted the Egyptian people are. One of the main reasons why I like this song is that my late father used to listen to that song and that's why in my leisure time whenever I just feel nostalgic for the past days. I listen to this song and recall the good old days. Additionally, the song has a catchy tune and the music is a mixture of the oriental and the western styles of music and that's why the song is a smash hit. That's why everybody in Egypt knows this song and they still listen to this song till now. Because it is a reflection of the beauty of Egypt and Egyptian people and sometimes if I get upset I just listen to Dalida and you will be surprised as I just feel on cloud nine. Because I feel that I relive the past days when I was a child with no concerns and with my family around me listening to this song. Thank you.
