音乐是无国界的语言，多样的音乐丰富了人们的日常生活。请阅读下面短文，完成下列任务。
Music is a universal language around the world. It has different
styles, and each style has its own special charm(魅力).
Folk music is a traditional style of music. It comes from ordinary people's lives and often tells simple but warm stories. Chinese folk music uses many traditional instruments such as the erhu and guzheng, while Western folk music is often played with acoustic(原声的) instruments like guitars and banjos(班卓琴). Folk music can be soft, peaceful, sad, or lively, and it helps people feel connected to daily life.
Pop music is one of the most popular music styles among young people. It has strong and lively rhythms. People can easily sing along to it. Most pop music uses modern instruments, such as the electric guitar and the keyboard. It can make people feel excited and happy, so it's usually students' favourite at school concerts.
Jazz music comes from America. It has free and beautiful melodies(旋律), and good jazz players can even make up music as they play. Jazz often uses the trumpet and the piano, and it sounds emotional and relaxing. It's a great choice for those who want to relax.
