058music音乐
Beginner
A: I heard that ben is forming his own band.
B: it will be a rock and roll band probably. He’s a very good guitarist.
A: can you play a musical instrument? If you can , he might ask you to join the band.
B: I can play drums, but I haven’t played for a while. I’m not sure I’d be good enough to play in a band.
A; I wish I could play a musical instrument. I love music.
B; nowadays, you can be a DJ. You can mix dance music. You don’t take a lot of practize.
A: you know, you could probably get a computer program that would help you. You already have a computer, so you could use that to help you mix some music.
A: that’s a great idea. I’ll search for some information on the internet. If it’s possible to do, the internet will have some information about it.
Intermediate
A; what kind of music do you like listening to?
B; I like music that has a fast beat and is lively, like dance music. You know, I go to a disco almost every week. Sometimes it’s too loud though. You prefer classical music, don’t you?
A; yes, I do. I find it very relaxing. I often listen to Mozart or Bach in the evening after a hard day at work.
B; I must admit that I like several pieces of classical music. It’s certainly more sophisticated that modern dance music.
A; classical music is supposed to be good for you brain. Research suggest that it makes your brain more active. Students who listen to classical music while studying perform better.
B: really? Perhaps I should listen to classical music often. I heard t

hat listening to classical music is helpful in reducing stress.

B; I’ve got a few classical music CD’s. I should follow your lead and increase my brian power.
A: you can find plenty of recording on the internet too. You can listen to samples and then buy them very cheaply if you like them.
B; that’s a good idea. You should do the same with some music. You might find something you like. Classical music might make you clever, but dance might make you livelier and happier.
A; that’s true. There’s clear evidence that people who listen to lively music are lively people. Music can influence a person’s feeling and character.

B: I never understand the meaning of those painting. They are too abstract for me. I didn’t pay much attention in art class at school.

B; I have had disagreement with every director. I’ve worked with. We’ve always disagreed in a friendly way and we have always resolved our differences. It was the same when I made this movie. I don’t know where rumors of my disagreement with Rachel Kelly come from. We got on very well and I hope to work with her again. I enjoyed making the movie very much.

B: not at all. The feedback from audience has been great. I care about what they think more than what the critics think.

B: my pleasure. Have you seen the movie yet?
A; yes. I have. I liked it very much. Like you, I was very impressed with rachel’s performance in the movie. She’s going to be a star.
