The sixties was a decade which people remember<br />
for many reasons. There were good times<br />
and happy events such as music festivals like<br />
Woodstock. There were also difficult times, for<br />
instance, the Vietnam War.<br />
One of the most memorable events of the sixties<br />
took place in 1969, when a person walked on<br />
the moon for the first time. Over five hundred<br />
million people were watching on 21st July when<br />
Neil Armstrong took the famous ‘first step’. A<br />
tragic event which shocked the world was the<br />
assassination of President Kennedy in 1963.<br />
In the world of music, there were a lot of pop<br />
artists in the charts, for example, The Beatles and<br />
The Rolling Stones. In cinemas, James Bond was a big<br />
hit. There were six Bond films between 1962 and<br />
1969. Fashions were bright and interesting – it was<br />
the era of miniskirts, long hair and hippy clothes.<br />
By the end of the decade, the world was a different<br />
place. People were more aware of issues such as<br />
women’s rights and inventions like the calculator<br />
and the satellite had changed their lives.<br />
