Music in Our Life

People can not live without music. They listen to music, dance to music or learn to play musical instruments. There is music everywhere: at home, in a concert hall, in the park, at the seaside, in the forest and even in the street. We often sing when we fell happy, or when we celebrate different holidays. 

Music is not only a combination of pleasant sounds. It is an art which reflects life. Music reflects people's ideas and emotions. In this world of ours, filled with conflicts, tragedies, joys and hopes, music strives to speak to people of what is most important, urgent and poignant.

Music in the lives of different people is different: some compose music, others play music, and others only listen to it. A lot of people who can not play any musical instrument love to listen to music either at home or at a concert. Different people like different kinds of music. You may prefer pop or rock music, country or folk music, classical music or jazz, but you certainly can not think of a day without music.

Most people also like to produce music – to play different musical instruments. Very often girls prefer to play the piano, or the violin, and boys usually play the guitar or the accordion. Some boys choose the drums as their favourite musical instrument.

When many musical instruments play in band, we call this band an orchestra. Of course, the music of the orchestra sounds the best.

Things Used to Be Different Many Years Ago

My name is Mary Baker. I’m a writer. I have written ten books in the past fifteen years and now I’m working on the eleventh. I began writing as a girl and I used to write poems and short stories about birds

and animals, and I used to write a lot while I was at the medical college.

Then I got married and started my work at the hospital in London. I used to be a nurse and I worked at a women’s hospital in London. So, as you can see I used to live and work in the capital city, one of the busiest cities of England and now I have this quiet life in a small village in the country, where I write my stories and create my characters.

I can’t tell you I miss my city life. I used to find it very interesting but now I prefer the piece of the country where I can read a lot, think a lot and write my history book. I write historical novels now. I have always

been curious about the past and I have always tried to learn as much as possible about those who lived before us. Life used to be really different in those times. People didn’t use to travel in cars and planes. They used to tell the time by the Sun. They didn’t use to buy so much food but grew most of it themselves. Yes, life used to be different many years ago.
