2020年5-8月 雅思口语 Part 1 Topic 6 Music （常考题）

1. When do you listen to music?

I listen to music when I am doing quite a few different things in my day to day life. I like to listen to music with headphones when I am commuting （通勤） through the city, as it keeps me entertained and happy. I also like listening to music in my room in the evenings when I am studying or relaxing, as I find music very calming.

2. How much time do you spend listening to music every day?

I spend a lot of time each day listening to music. This is because I have all of my favourite music on my phone, so I can listen to it wherever I go. Thus, I listen to it as I commute, as I work or relax. So, I spend at least a few hours listening to music every day. Music makes life more beautiful and romantic, so I like to listen to it as much as I can.

3. What kinds of music do you like to listen to?

I like to listen to different kinds of music and it depends on what I am doing at the time. For example, when walking around town and commuting, I like to listen to lyrical （抒情的） music with very powerful and beautiful singers. This music is always full of energy and puts me in a great mood. However, this music is quite distracting if I am at home trying to study or relax, so I would rather listen to jazz or classical music in these situations.

4. What’s your favorite kind of music?

My favourite kind of music would have to be jazz music. I did not always love jazz music, when I was quite young I found it boring and did not really understand it. My dad was always playing it, and I was never too interested. But as I got older, I started listening to it more closely and discovered that the melodies and instruments blended together in such a beautiful way. It is now my favourite kind of music.

5. Have you ever been to a concert before?

I have been to a conceit before. I grew up in Beijing and we have many music halls and conceit venues within the city. Thus, I have seen many *all, local music artists playing in venues within my city. But I have also seen quite famous music artists who are on tour and have visited my city. My favourite artist once came to my town and I had an utterly brilliant night at the concert. The energy and music were so beautiful, I will never forget that night.
