Практичне заняття 57 .Music around us.

Warm up
In pairs, discuss the following questions.
1. What is your favourite type of music to listen to? – I listen to different types
of music such as pop and rap music, rock and indie music, industrial, disco
and techno music, and, of course, classic music. But I probably like pop
music the most, just because it's generally so upbeat.
2. Do you listen to different music in different situation? If so, what do you
listen to? Music is everywhere in our lives. We hear it on the radio, on TV,
in the streets, in shops, in cafes, everywhere. But I prefer to listen to my
music, and usually it is different music in different situations, everything
depends on my mood. If I am full of energy, eager to do something active I
prefer to listen to dancing music with a strong beat. When I am in a bad
mood I listen to some lyric music.
3. Do you listen to classical music? Why/why not? – I can’t tell that I am a big
fan of classical music and listen to it every day. But from time to time I have
a mood for this type of music. I love the way classical music makes me feel
emotional, and I find that they're very relaxing and enjoyable to listen to.
