If someone asks me, “Do you like music?” I am sure I will say, “Of course, I do.” I think music is an important part of our lives.
Different people have different ideas about music. For me, I like rock music because it’s so exciting. And my favourite rock band ( 摇滚乐队 ), the “Foxy Ladies” is one of the most famous rock bands in the world. I also like pop music. My classmate Li Lan loves dance music, because she enjoys dancing. My best friend, Jane, likes jazz music (爵士乐). She thinks jazz is really cool. “I like dance music and rock very much,” says my brother, “because they are amazing.” But my mother thinks rock is boring. “I like some relaxing (轻松的) music.” she says, that is why she likes country music (乡村音乐), I think.
