Music. Rendering #3.




The headline of the article is Beatles' Abbey Road cover in Calcutta traffic campaign'. It was published on  http://www.bbc.co.uk on Fabruary 19, 2013. The article deals with an unusual traffic campaign.

Firstly, the author notes that police in the eastern Indian city of Calcutta are using the picture on the cover of the iconic Beatles album Abbey Road in a campaign to enforce road safety. The picture shows the band members walking in single file on a zebra crossing in north London's Abbey Road. The slogan for the campaign reads: "If they can, why can't you?"

Secondly, the author points out that The Beatles were photographed on Abbey Road in Ian Macmillan's famous cover shot for the 1969 album. The crossing is outside the Abbey Road studios, where the band recorded much of their music. Calcutta's traffic police has put up 40 hoardings carrying the Beatles image as part of a campaign to persuade people to use pedestrian crossings

Thirdly, the author quotes opinions of different people.

To crown it all, the author tells the reader that the original Abbey Road zebra crossing, where the photograph was taken, was moved several metres for traffic management reasons more than 30 years ago, and no original features remain.

To my mind, this is a very good idea, because many people admire "The Beatles" and there is a chnace that they will follow their example.

The same mistake - try to paraphrase the text and use other words except firstly, secondly, thirdly...
