Ah, a Russian village - a haven of tranquillity!

Or is it?! This is their unexpected entry for the Eurovision Song Contest.

There are no spring chickens in this band: most of the singers in the Buranovo Grannies are in their 70s, but they still have plenty of stamina.

They've been rehearsing their song, Party for Everybody, in the village hall but their household chores don't leave much time for it.

Vocabulary:

haven n. 港口,避难所

unexpected adj. 意外的

no spring chicken 不再年轻

stamina n. 毅力

household chores 家务琐事
