MUSIC IN OUR LIFE

          I love music, I think people can not live without it. The first thing I do in the morning I switch on my tape — recorder. We can hear music everywhere: in the streets, in the shops, on TV, over the radio, in the cars, in the parks, everywhere. I think it’s really doesn’t matter what kind of music you prefer: rock, pop, classical, jazz. A lot of people are fond of music. They buy tapes, go to the concerts, visit Concert Halls and Opera Theatres.  

         I enjoy listening music because it reflects my moods and emotions. Very often when I’m blue, I play my favourite mer­ry songs and feel much better.

          Sometimes I attend music halls and the concerts, when po­pular groups and singers are there. I like watching music pro­grams on TV. I like to know more and more about popular ta­lented groups and singers I like. One wall of my room is covered with posters of «Bon Jovi», «Scorpions», «Roxette», Russian singers Agutin, Sjutkin, Linda and others.

         Some people go to musics schools, they play different mu­sical instruments, sing in the chorus, try to compose music.

        Unfortunally there are so many ungifted singers on the stages, that it makes me sad. To have a good producer doesn’t mean to have good ears and voice. I think that only talented people can claim to be singers.
