Question

Music is part of every culture on Earth. Many people feel that music makes life worth living. We can make music ourselves if we play an instrument(乐器) or sing. We can hear music on CDs or tapes, on radio or television and even on the Internet.

Music gives us pleasure. It can cheer us up, or excite us. Music can make us feel happy, sad, excited or calm-all kinds of feelings. But what is it? Some people describe it as an artful form of sounds across time. These sounds might be loud or soft, high or low, quick and short, or slow and long. The sounds need to keep on for some time in some kinds of forms to become music.

Music, like language, is a special human form of communication. Also like language, there are many different kinds. In North America, people listen to jazz, rock, classical, folk, country, and many other kinds of music. Each kind of music has its own rules and “speaks” to us in its own way. What we think of music depends on where we live. What Americans are used to listening to might sound strange to someone from another culture. It might not even sound like music. And also you can find that every country has its own typical instruments to show their traditional music. Today, modern communications make it possible for us to listen to music from all over the world. In this way music from one part of the world could influence music from another part.

Music goes along with many of our activities. We dance to music. We sing songs at school. Many of us exercise to music. We hear music in cars and stores. Music comes with many important moments. Music pleases us. We listen to slow music, spiritual music, pop music, rock music, and opera. We have favorite performers. We hear music as the background in movies. Perhaps we go to the theater to see a musical movie---play with music, singing, and often with dancing. Music is part of our lives.
