Lesson 1

Listen & Speak

A: Hey, this chart is pretty interesting. Look.

B: Yeah? What does it show?

A: Well, it shows how popular different types of music are with different age groups. Look,
you can see that classical music is popular with people over 55.

B: Well, my grandmother’s a bit different. She doesn’t like classical music at all. She loves
pop.

A: Pop? Really?

B: Yeah. Her favourite band is One Direction.

A: Wow! That’s cool. Well, what kind of music do you like? You’re 20. The chart says rap
and hip-hop are popular with your age group.

B: Well, that’s kind of right. I like rap and hip hop. But I really love pop. I guess I’m similar
to my grandmother.
