ACTION 1
Listen and read the karaoke.
How do you react to the tune of this song?

Do you recognize it?

"Auld Lang Syne" is a traditional song 

that British people sing at midnight

on December 31;

but most people don't know that

it is a Scottish poem written in 1788

by Robert Burns

and later set to the music of a folk song. 

The song's (Scots) title may be translated from old Scottish dialect into English 

literally as "old long since", 

or more idiomatically,

"long long ago" or "days gone by".
