… They loved The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Boys had leather jackets and jeans and girls had mini skirts and boots. The hippy style’ was popular, too. People had televisions and they watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon in 1969.

In the ’60s in the UK young people listened to music on BBC Radio One. Today in my country, we have MP3 players. The fashion is also different. In the ’60s in the UK “the hippy” style was popular, but today in my country, most people wear jeans and less colourful clothes. In the ’60s. in the UK they liked going to cinemas to watch films.
Today in my country, people still go to the cinema, but they also watch DVDs at home or films on the Internet.
