You may often notice a teenager with headphones getting lost in his own world. But what's really happening? In those moments, music is actively working to influence teenagers' mental(心理的) health. For them, music is more than just for fun. It's a strong force that shapes their mental world. 1
First, music serves as the "feeling regulator(调节器)". When teenagers feel sad, listening to relaxing folk music makes them feel better. 2 Even when they are sick, cheerful music encourages them. Listening to different music is the secret to managing teenagers' feelings.
Next, music is a great tool for teenagers to express themselves. People often consider music to be a special language. 3 So teenagers can show what they think or what they experience through music. It gives them a way to voice their true feelings.
What's more, music helps teenagers connect with others and the world around them. Through music they can find someone who shares similar feelings and experiences. 4 They know that there's someone who understands them, no matter what problems they're facing. This is important because they need support to deal with their feelings during the teenage years.
5 Especially those songs with improper words may hurt their feelings and even change their behaviour. So teenagers should choose the right music.
The influence of music on teenagers' mental health is clear. By using this force properly, teenagers can improve their mental health and better face the challenges of teenage years.
A. This makes teenagers realize they're not alone.

In China, unlike in many other countries, films often have subtitles(字幕) in both Chinese and English. This common practice has several key purposes: to improve understanding, increase accessibility, and support cultural exchange.
First, China has many dialects. People in different parts of China speak differently. Besides Mandarin and Cantonese, there are many other local dialects. Some film characters speak in these dialects to make the story feel real. It presents a challenge to the understanding of viewers from other areas. Subtitles help everyone in China follow the story, no matter what dialect they speak.
Second, some actors have soft or deep voices. These voices can sound emotional but are sometimes hard to hear in a loud cinema, especially with a powerful bass sound. Subtitles ensure viewers don't miss any words.
Third, cinema sound is fixed. You can turn your TV up or down, but you cannot control the volume(音量) in a cinema. Sometimes, the background music or sound effects are too loud compared to the actors' voices. The sound might not be perfect, but subtitles help viewers follow the story easily.
Moreover, subtitles make films more inclusive(包容性). They help deaf or hard-of-hearing viewers understand the dialogue, giving them a full and enjoyable experience.
Finally, English subtitles help Chinese films go around the world. English is the world's most popular second language. With English subtitles, international viewers, film festival judges, and film critics can watch and understand Chinese films. This builds cross-cultural understanding and allows these films to be judged fairly on an international stage.
In short, subtitles do more than just translate words—they build a bridge between cultures. They turn every film into a place where people from all over the world can meet and share stories.
