Everybody likes music: some people enjoy classical music, others are fond of pop music. For some of them music is a voice for the thoughts and feelings. For others it’s a harmless way to relax (1) and have fun. So many people, so many opinions. You can sometimes understand better the inner world (2) of the person when you speak on music because it is a short way to see if your friend shares your musical values (3)or not.
Some young people prefer classical music to rock and pop music because they consider that rock and pop lost their importance nowadays. Everything is controlled by machines and technology. Ten or twenty years ago there were real artists writing real songs and now all you can get is synthesisers (4) and dance music.
But among young people there are many fans of pop music who consider that pop music is still better today than ever before. There are stars all over the world with lots of different styles and images. And it’s great! Pop is like big fun-fair (5). If you can’t have a good time it’s nobody’s fault (6) but yours. The names of the biggest stars in music of the 20th century are: Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Michael Jackson, Madonna and many others.
Best of all I like Michael Jackson who is called a living legend (7). I have many cassettes (8) with his songs and often listen to them because to my mind his music is first of all extraordinary and creative (9).
I prefer music among all arts because it speaks a universal language and makes the world brighter
