evacuate stress or anger thanks to music. I am sure that teens actually have songs that match every
mood they might experience: some songs boost their energy; some others help them forget about
their problems; some make them relax.
2. Should students study music at school?
Yes, definitely! Music is a form of art, and it should be studied as a school subject. Music can be
used to express different emotions. Songs and sounds are always meaningful. Teachers should
teach young people how to recognize all this. In addition, music symbolizes a culture and a
national identity. Studying music can be seen as a social science. It can be interesting to study
different kinds of music in order to compare the styles and become familiar with international
trends.
3. What kinds ofstories do older people tell younger people in your culture?
Well, in my country parents and grandparents frequently read fairy tales and legends to their kids.
The stories could be Chinese, but now with globalization, it's very frequent for parents to read
stories from Western culture like the Disney tales. When I was a child, I remember my mother told
me the story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf, and I am sure you are familiar with it. I think these
stories are great because they can teach children a moral. In this story, I learned that I shouldn't lie,
otherwise no one would ever believe me in the future.
