【范文展示】
If someone asks me,“Do you like music?” I’m sure I will answer,“Of course, I do.” That’s because I do believe music has a great influence on our lives.
Different people have different ideas about music. As for me, I prefer classical music that can calm me down. Maybe people think it is hard for them to understand classical music. However, I like it because it makes me more thoughtful. Whenever I feel tired or stressed out, music makes me feel relaxed. Once I felt down because of making a mistake in my work, I listened to CDs and the music really cheered me up.
All in all, music is not only the medicine of a troubled mind, but also helps a lot in my life.
