五、阅读理解。
What’s your favourite song? What do you like about it? Do you often share the music you like with a friend or family member? Do they like it as much as you do? Sometimes, people’s musical tastes can be very different. Why do we like some styles of music but not others? There are several reasons.
One reason is personality(性格). Are you quiet or loud? Peaceful or full of energy? People often choose music that matches who they are.
Another reason is age. Your favourite songs may not be the same as your parents’ top choices. The music you listen to in your teen years shapes your preferences for the rest of your life. However, it’s also common for these preferences to change as you get older.
Environment also matters. The place and culture you grow up in influence the music you hear. That’s why when people move to new places or meet new people, they often hear different styles of music.
Your mood(情绪) can change your music choices too. On some days when you feel sad, you may want slow, soft songs. But on others, you may want loud songs with a fast beat. These choices can be influenced by your mood and by how you want others to see you.
All these things—personality, age, environment, and mood—help shape your musical taste. And it’s perfectly fine if you and your friends enjoy different songs. Respect their choices, and they’ll respect yours!
