Để nghe bài ghi âm cũng như bản dịch của bài nói trên qua youtube, các bạn vào ieltstrangbui/pronunciation/music-freetime - What kind of music do you like? The music that I find the most fascinating is definitely soul. Basically, soul is a combination of American-African gospel music, blues and a bit of jazz. My new favorite soul artist is Sam Smith, who has recently become a world’s phenomenon after releasing his biggest hit, “Stay with me”. - Why do you like this kind of music? I guess the reason I’m interested in this music genre is because it literally touches my soul. I can always sing along or relate to the songs in some way. It helps to free my mind and relaxes me after long hours at work. - Do you listen to other kinds of music? As a matter of fact, I listen to all kinds of music. To me, each of them is like a colour of the rainbow that one must see in order to be able to truly appreciate the beautiful picture of life through songs. I usually pick the music to listen to based on how I feel or how I would like to feel. For example, a hip-hop song would energize me in the morning while, at the end of the day, slow music would make me sleep better. - Did your taste in music change since you were younger? Absolutely. Back when I was a teenager, I was more into the music with fancy beats and catchy melodies because I thought it was cool. But now I tend to pay more attention to the singers’ voice as well as the meaning of the words that they sing. Sometimes I find myself listening to music from the 80’s or 90’s and enjoying it completely. - What kind of benefits do you get from listening to music? I certainly think that we can benefit from listening to music in several ways. Music has the ability to verbalize and express our feelings better than any other medium. Therefore, it is therapeutic to listen to the right kind of music to be in a better mood and soothe emotional distress. Also, knowing the associations among songs and moods, we can choose what to feel by choosing what songs to listen to. - Is there anything you would like to do if you had more free time? If I ever had more free time, I would probably spend it with my family. I have to live away from home because of my job but I miss them terribly. I wish we could see each other more often. I would also like to spend more time reading and writing.
