Reading is fun
Music in our lives
By Rachel Wallace
Music is powerful. Music can make people smile and music can make people cry.
Scientists say, early music training helps learn languages and develop logic. (A)
Music is part of almost every important event from weddings to graduation ceremonies and presidential inaugurations. Sportsmen listen to music before important games and competitions; cosmonauts listen to music before the flight. (B)
Everyone enjoys some sort of music. There are many different styles, or genres, of music. Some of the more familiar are classical, jazz, blues, rock&roll, rhythm and blues (R&B), rap, hip-hop, folk and metal, but the overall list goes on and on. (C)
Music can be heard now in waiting areas; the doctor’s and dentist’s office, airports, restaurants, bus terminals and train stations. Even while on-hold during a phone call there will be nice music for you to listen to as you patiently wait for the operator. Why? Music, especially the right music, is very soothing and relaxing. (D)
And finally, music is used for special occasions and celebrations. Every country has its national anthem; colleges and universities have their songs. People all over the world sing ‘Happy Birthday’ on their friends’ birthdays, and many sing ‘Auld Lang Syne’ at the stroke of midnight at New Year’s Eve. (E)
