A review of Yesterday Once More

The first time I listened to it on TV, I quickly switched to another channel. And now I regret doing so. Later on, one of my friends recommended it to

me,saying it was the most moving song and lent me a tape. I listened to it at once,

and I was attracted by it. It was one of

the most famous songs sung by the

Carpenters, popular with almost all the

young people, especially university

students. I suggest that you buy the

album as soon as possible if it is still

available.
