Discuss the quotations about music by famous

“Music is the universal
language of mankind.”
(Henry
Longfellow)

is understood by everybody. The
language
of music is so vivid and expressive.
P2: Music
is something that has no nationality or citizenship .It belongs to
the whole
Humanity. It is a universal language.
“Music
produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do
without.”
/Confucius/
P3: I think it is well said .Really, we can’t do
without music: we listen to it every day
And it’s
a great pleasure for us.
P4: As
for me, I’d like to explain one more brilliant quotation. Victor
Hugo wrote:
“
Music
expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible
to be
silent”. In my opinion, the author wanted to
underline the great importance of
music;
even if we cannot express our feelings and emotions using our
mother
tongue, we can do it by means of beautiful sounds
produced by musical instruments.

following scheme ( on the board):
P - position - I
think…
R - reasoning -
Because…
E - example - For
example…
S - solution - That’s
why…
Possible answers :
P1: I think pop music is the best style of music,
because you can listen to it wherever
you want and have good relaxation. It’s usually
simple and doesn’t require deep
thinking. for example, Michael Jackson’s songs
are very popular everywhere. Some
of his
songs are cheerful, and some of them are lyrical. Jackson’s songs
are mostly about
love and
relations between young people. They are easy for understanding.
That’s why I
am fond of pop music and often listen to
it.
P2: I think classical music is very nice because
it is serious and emotional kind of music.
Its useful influence on people’s organism was
proved by scientists. For example, doc
tors
recommend pregnant women to listen to classical music to strengthen
their
babies’
nervous system. Besides, listening to classical music means that
you are an
educated person. That’s why it’s important to
listen to classical music and I often lis-
ten to it.
