Music
1. Do you often listen to music?
Seldom did I listen, because I aspire to achieve more
when I am still young, so I kind of want to keep myself more assiduous than
others. And the material I listen to when I am monkey around is BBC, in order
to improve my English.
2. How much time do you spend listening to music
every day?
Well, I usually indulge myself with music only when I
am completely free, so it’s hard to say on a daily basis, but by and large, I
will listen more when I am on the vacation.
3. Where do you listen to it?
Usually at home, while I am doing other trivial things
like doing a light reading or tiding my stuff.
4. How do you feel when you listen to this
music?
I suppose it depends on the type of music I am
listening to. Eg. If it is rock music then I would feel inspired, but if it is
soft music, then it would leave me with a peaceful impression.
5. Have you ever been to a musical performance?
I wish I could, but I didn’t have the chance.
6. What musical instrument is most popular in
China?
I suppose it would be guitar, but I am not sure about that
since I didn’t pay too much attention to the musical area. It just left me with
an impression that guitar is the most frequently seen on the entertainment
programme.
7. Which instrument would you prefer to study –
the piano or the violin?
I suppose it would be piano, because my most favorite
singer once accompanied herself on a piano, and it has a much more haunting
melody than violin in my perspective.
8. What benefits do children gain by studying
music?
In comparison with me who had no exposure to music, I
feel that those who studied music are more confident or outgoing than I am,
probably because they need to perform publicly.
9. Do you think it's important to learn to play
a musical instrument?
Compared to basic surviving skills like your major or
cooking, I hardly think so, but if you have already had a decent living
standard, I reckon it would be beneficial to fill the gap in our knowledge of
music, because it would extricate ourselves form the daily routine.
10. Do you think schools should teach children how
to play a musical instrument?
I suppose it would be better for schools to encourage
students to do so as long as the instruments are provided freely by school or
government, because some of them would be exorbitant high in price like piano.
11. Is music an important subject at school in
China?
I’m afraid not, especially in high schools, because
students there are under intolerable pressure to prepare for their college
entrance exams. And the number of successful candidates is the only criterion
to gauge how good a school is in china, so subjects like music or P.E. are
usually neglected by most educational institutions.
12. Did you often listen to music when you were a
child?
Not really, but it must have been much more frequent
than I am now, because the older you grow, the more pressure you may suffer
which would dictate people from their aspired life styles and do sth they don’t
like.
13. How does music affect people?
Inspirational music would motivate people and revive a
positive spirit, whereas soft music would calm people down and extricate them
from daily routines.
14. Compare the music that young people like and
the music that old people like.
By and large, I suppose young people would prefer
modern music, whereas geriatric people would be fond of traditional music. But
traditional music was once modern as well, so I suppose the age is not a
variable in predicting the type of music people like within a long time.
15. Why do many old people dislike pop music?
I suppose pop music would require more energy, because
it motivates people to move according to the music and thus, usually they are
too loud. Both of this is not what geriatric individuals would prefer.
