Task I. Reading “ABBA” (4 points) Read the biography of the Beach Boys and mark the statements true (T) or false (F). The
Swedish group ABBA was formed in 1972. Björn and Benny had been in another band, but started their own group and asked their girlfriends, Agnetha and Anni-Frid, to join. The name ABBA came from the initials of their first names. Later on both couples got married. ABBA became internationally famous when they won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974 with Waterloo. Over the next eight years they became one of the most successful pop groups ever. They had many hits, including Dancing Queen and SOS. They had 22 number 1 records around the world. During that time they played pop and disco, and were famous for their glam-rock stage costumes. Although they used to sing in English, they also released two albums in Spanish. After selling millions of records, ABBA finally split up in 1982. In the last few years their music has become popular again with the musical (and film) Mamma Mia! As a result, ABBA have now sold 380 million records!
