最爱的乡村音乐
Hi Jenny,
Thanks for your letter. I'm happy to tell you what you want to know—I'm mad about music! My favorite is country music. I've been a country music fan for two years since I heard Faith Hill on the radio—she's great! I think her best song is It Matters to Me.
Some of my friends think I'm strange—they listen to bands like Elbow and Arctic Monkeys. They're OK of course, but I prefer listening to Garth Brooks and Willie Nelson. I spend nearly all my money on country CDs. I've got lots of CDs by Meredith Edwards and Jessica Andrews, too. I like country music because the singers have got great voices and the lyrics(歌词) are usually good too. Some people think that country music's all the same, but they're wrong! There are lots of different kinds of songs—romantic ones, slow ones, fast ones—just like any other kind of music.
I listen to country music nearly all the time. I usually listen to it on headphones in my bedroom, but sometimes my friends come round to my place and we listen together on my iPad. I really feel that country music brings me happiness. It is because of country music that I feel my life is full of sunshine.
Please write to me again soon.
Love,
Sandy
