Task 4. Imagine that you and your friend are doing a school project "Listening to music". You have found some illustrations and want to share the news. Leave a voice message to your friend. In 2,5 minutes be ready to:
— explain the choice of the illustrations for the project by briefly describing them and noting the differences;
— mention the advantages (1–2) of the two ways of listening to music;
— mention the disadvantages (1–2) of the two ways of listening to music;
— express your opinion on the subject of the project — how you prefer listening to music and why.
You will speak for not more than 3 minutes (12–15 sentences). You have to talk continuously.
Hey, Kate. You know what? I’ve just found two pictures suitable for our project "Listening to music". Let me tell you a bit more about them.
These pictures are relevant to our project because there are people listening to music. In the first photo there is a young man listening to the music. He has giant headphones. He is probably trying to sing, which means that he knows the song he is listening to. His eyes are closed. In the second picture there is a man as well. He is singing a song at a concert. It is probably a rock concert. There are a few differences to illustrate our project better. Obviously, in the photo number one a man is a co-singer, he mostly listens to the music. Meanwhile, in the second picture the man sings his own song, he is a performer. Also, in the first picture there is no audience, while in the second one there is a crowd of listeners.
In my opinion, both ways of listening to music have their advantages. For instance, when a person listens to music alone, he can choose songs he likes best of all. As for a live music concert, it provides an opportunity to share the happiness with co-thinkers and experience new emotions or rekindle old ones. Of course, the two ways of listening to music have disadvantages too. For example, a person cannot listen to music loudly if he is at home because of the neighbours. At the same time going to concerts is an expensive pleasure.
As for me I prefer listening to music on the concerts because the singer performs it alive and there is an opportunity to feel his energy.
So, shall we use these photos in our project? Call me when you’re ready to discuss if we can use them. Bye-bye.
