Unit 9 I like music that I can dance to.

I went to my first concert last night.

The band I went to see was I-Prevail. But of course when you go to a concert, you can’t enjoy

the band before you hear the openers. That was a bit of a shock to me considering that there were

three openers before I-Prevail played anything. I honestly had never heard of any of the opening

bands, but they weren’t bad at all.

Three hours passed and finally it was time for the band I came to see. But they didn’t sing when

they got on stage (舞台). They first gave a speech to thank us for coming to watch their concert.

After the speech, the band finally began to play. Though that was my first concert, I had always

talked to people who went to concerts a lot. They always seemed to mention that the group or singers

doesn’t sound the same as they do on recordings. I-Prevail did not fall into this stereotype (陈规). The

band sounded exactly like they do on their albums. That just shows this band was known for how

good they are but not just how good they can make themselves sound on an album.

The concert was amazing and the night was great, but I honestly feel that a concert is 10 times

better if you go with people you know and who just want to have a good time. The people I attended

the concert with were amazing people and just had such a love for music, which made everything so

much better. A concert is one thing, but having friends that enjoy music as much as you do is

something you can’t miss. Last night was so much better just because I attended my first concert with

some great friends.

Music is an international(国际的) language. It plays an important role in our daily life.

In America, popular music is what all the students like best. Students carry small radios with

earphones and listen to music before class, after class, and at lunch. Students with cars buy speakers

and play music loudly as they drive on the street. Adult(成年人) drivers listen to music on the car

radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, politics(政治), and

activities of the American people. Most of the radio broadcast is music.

Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make CDs or tape which radio stations

use in every state. Once the singer’s songs are heard all over the country, young people buy his or her

tapes. Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the

young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national star.

There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk music. It has

stories about the common life of Americans. Another is called western or country music. This was

started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching. Then it became popular

in the south of the United States in the 1920s. Today, any music about country life and the love

between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music. Serious music for the concert

halls is called classical music. Music for instruments (乐器) is called orchestra music, such as the

symphonies of Beethoven.

So, what kind of music do you prefer? Pop, folk, country classical or orchestra?
