Every day in every way
It's getting better and better
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Out on the ocean sailing away I can hardly wait To see you come of age
But I guess we’ll both just have to be patient ‘Cause it's a long way to go A bard row to hoe Yes it's a long way to go
But in the meantime
Before you cross the street
Take my band
Life is what happens to you
While you're busy making other plans
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Beautiful boy
Before you go to sleep Say a little prayer Every day in every way It's getting better and better

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Beautiful boy Darling, darling, darling Darling Sean
You've just heard John Lennon singing a lullaby to his son Sean. A lullaby is a song we sing to help babies to go to sleep. So he tells Sean "Close your eyes, have no fear, your Daddy's here." Then he looks into the future. He sees his son setting out on life's adventure:
Out on the ocean sailing away
And he can hardly wait to see his son grow up, to reach eighteen when he comes of age and celebrates becoming an adult. But he knows they'll both have to be patient
Cause it'a long way to go A hard row to hoe
Growing up can be difficult. At times it can, as we say, be a hard row to hoe. It's a phrase we use to describe any difficult task.
But if growing up is sometimes hard, it is also full of surprises. Things happen when we least expect them:
Lire is what happens to you
While you're busy making other plans
I think you'll find the stories you are going to read in this unit show that John Lennon was right: growing up can be quite an adventure, full of the unexpected.
As for John Lennon, sadly he never did live to see his son grow up and come of age, for John was shot dead by a madman in New York while Sean was still only five years old.

A memorable Experience
On the morning of the college entrance test I rode a bike to the school where I would take the
- 94 - Appendix I
examination.
Less than halfway between my house and the school, disaster struck. My bike hit a nail and the
front tyre went flat. I pushed the bike along the streets, looking for a repair shop. Minutes passed but
still there was none to be found. When I looked at my watch, I went wild with worry: there were
only fifteen minutes left before the examination began, and the nearest bus stop was a long way off.
Not knowing what to do, I stood still by the side of the road, tears welling up in my eyes. Then a car
pulled in and I heard a voice asking what the matter was. When he heard my story, the driver offered
me a lift. Thank to his kindness, I arrived just in time. And so here I am today. ( 157 words)
