Can you think of a day without music? We can hear music everywhere: in the streets and at home, over the radio and on TV, in the shops and in the parks. People all over the world are fond of music. They listen to music, they dance to music, they learn to play musical instruments.

But what is music? Specialists explain that music isn't only a combination of pleasant sounds.

There are a lot of different kinds of music. Some of them appeared long ago, and some are modern. For example, folk music appeared long ago, but it is still alive. There are many local performers, choirs and folk groups in Russia; but perhaps the most famous singer is Nadezhda Babkina. Folk songs are very tuneful and pleasant to listen to. Classical music is often associated with the music of the past. However, this style also includes music being written now, and we may speak of modern classical music. Rap is a modern musical style where the singer speaks or shouts the words in time to music with a steady beat. Such artist as Eminem or group House of Pain are leaders in this style.

Tastes differ. So people's musical interests range from pop and rock music, which are extremely popular nowadays, especially among young people, to classical music and opera.

When I have free time I listen different records. I also like having background music while I am working.

It's a pity that many young people like to listen only to modern music. As for me, I also enjoy listening to classical music. Classical music is always a complex of emotions. It gives me delight, pleasure and a sense of happiness. Not long ago I listened to the Polonez - Goodbye to the nature land, composed by Oginsky. This music is sad, but I like sad music too.

The music I hate is heavy metal. I find it noisy and dreadful. Though some young people are fond of this style of music, it is not to everyone's taste. To my mind, music too loud can destroy our ears. I am indifferent to other styles of music. For example, I don't mind listening to jazz.

Each generation has its own tastes.

When I was a child I dreamt about the most romantic city in the world — Paris. For me Paris is a fairy tale. That’s why Paris is the city of my dream and my developed imagination. As a child I wanted to visit just Disneyland. I saw wonderful pictures from the biggest (in my opinion) entertainment part in the world — Disneyland. I collected photos illustrated Disneyland land and Paris at whole.

Then I grew up and fell in love. It was the most romantic and lovely period in my life. So my desire to visit Paris was still alive as Paris is a city of love.

I think I would be the happiest person in the world if I visited Paris. I would like to see the Eiffel Tower. Hope it would be fantastic. I would like to do shopping in Paris, as Paris is a «fashionable city». Maybe it is expensive to buy things in the capital of France but I’m sure I would buy something, as I like shopping too much. In Paris there are so many interesting places to visit: theLouvre, Notre Dame de Paris, the Elysian Fields and many others. I would like to take a walk up and down Paris streets.

Paris is my passion. I’d like to live out my dream. I would be in seventh heaven.

Когда я была ребёнком, я мечтала побывать в самом романтичном городе мира — в Париже. Для меня Париж — сказка. Поэтому именно Париж — город моей мечты и моего развитого воображения. В детстве я мечтала посетить Диснейленд. Я видела прекрасные картинки самого большого (на мой взгляд) парка развлечений — Диснейленда. Я коллекционировала эти картинки, да и просто фотографии с изображением Парижа.

Когда я подросла, я влюбилась. И это было так романтично. Таким образом, моё решение посетить Париж всё ещё было живо, т.к. Париж — город любви.

Я думаю, я буду самой счастливой в мире, если я увижу Париж. Я бы хотела увидеть Эйфелеву башню. Надеюсь, она прекрасна. Я бы хотела пройтись по магазинам в Париже, т.к. Париж город моды. Возможно, шоппинг в столице Франции дороговат, но я уверена, что что-нибудь я там бы купила, т.к. обожаю покупки. В Париже много интересных мест, которые можно посетить: Лувр, Нотр дам де Пари, Елисейские поля и много других мест.  Я бы хотела пройтись по парижским улочкам.

Париж — моя страсть. И я хочу воплотить в жизнь мою мечту и увидеть Париж. Я бы была на седьмом небе от счастья.
