Music in my life

The word “music” itself has come from the name of nine ancient goddesses, the muses who were considered to inspire artists and scientists. The history of music counts hundreds of years.

Now it plays a significant role in modern youth’s life. Calm music helps us to relax and chill out after some activities. On the contrary, fast music is aimed at giving us additional energy, take away depression.

As to me I’ve always been fond of various styles of music. Actually I’m neither a fan of any group or singer, nor of any particular style. I listen to everything that sounds nice to me. Of course, there are some groups that I prefer, for example“Queen”. This group was popular in the late 70ths and 80ths until the death of its leader, Freddy Mercury. But still its amazing songs gain more and more admirers. Everybody has heard the famous “We are the champions” or “Bohemian Rhapsody”. Moreover “Queen” is admitted to be one of the most popular British groups in the history of British pop and rock music. Freddy’s death was a real shock for hundreds of millions of his fans.

Unfortunately up-to-date popular songs are often senseless. They are sung by people without strong voices . Today’s show- business depends much more on money, than on one’s skills.

Classical music is a little bit difficult for me but I really adore some pieces of music, especially the opera. My parents and I sometimes go to the Bolshoi Theater and The Theatre of Stanislavsky and Nemirovich- Danchenko, there we can listen to classic operas and modern performances. To my mind, every man of education should sometimes turn to this kind of music because it fosters sense of beauty. Some stage managers use classical arrangement in their movies: we can remember the famous intro of “Star wars” or “Lord of the rings”.

On the whole I think music is a wonderful invention of human’s mind though we shouldn’t carry to excess. Sometimes it’s useful just to listen to the silence.

Само слово «музыка» появилось из названия девяти древних богинь, считалось, что музы вдохновляли творческих личностей и учёных. Насчитывается сотни лет истории музыки. Сейчас музыка играет важную роль в жизни молодежи. Спокойная музыка помогает нам расслабиться и успокоиться после трудовой деятельности. Быстрая музыка, наоборот, даёт придаёт нам дополнительную энергию, избавляет от депрессии.

Что касается меня, то я всегда любила различные стили музыки. На самом деле, я никогда не являлась фанатом ни группы, ни певца, ни определенного музыкального стиля. Я слушаю всё, что мне нравиться. Конечно, есть группы, которые я предпочитаю слушать, например группа «Queen». Это группа была популярна в конце 70-х, 80-х годов, до того, как умер главный солист группы, Фредди Меркурии. Но до сих пор великолепная музыка этой группы покоряет всё больше и больше фанатов. Все слышали знаменитую песню «We are champions» или «Bohemian Rhapsody». Более того, группа «Queen» признана одной из самых популярных Британских групп в истории Британской попсы и рок-музыки. Смерть Фредди стало настоящим шоком для сотни миллионов фанатов.

К сожалению, современные популярные песни часто не имеют смысла. Их поют люди, не имеющие сильный голос. На сегодняшний момент шоу-бизнес зависит больше от денег, а не от таланта.

Классическая музыка для меня немного сложновата, но я действительно обожаю некоторые музыкальные произведения, особенно оперу. Иногда я со своими родителями хожу в Большой театр, в театр имени Станиславского и Немировича- Данченко. Там мы можем послушать классические оперы или современные произведения. Я считаю, что каждому образованному человеку следует слушать такую музыку, потому что она развивает чувство прекрасного. Некоторые режиссёры используют классические произведения в своих фильмах: например знаменитая заставка в фильме «Звёздные войны» или «Властелин колец».

В общем, я считаю, что музыка это чудесное изобретение человека, хотя нам не следует излишне увлекаться. Ингода полезно просто послушать тишину.

У всех у нас в жизни определенное место занимает музыка. Поэтому давайте рассмотрим топик по английскому языку на тему музыка . Чтобы тема получилась более интересной и живой, я подготовила текст на тему Music in my life с переводом.

Рассказ получился достаточно универсальным. В топике по английскому на тему музыка вы можете заменить любимые мной стили музыки (my favourite style music ) своими, и тогда он отразит именно ваше видение музыки. Какую музыку любите Вы?

Music in my life

Can you think of a day without music? We can hear music everywhere: in the streets and at home, over the radio and on TV, in the shops and in the parks. People all over the world are fond of music. They listen to music, they dance to music, they learn to play musical instruments.

But what is music? Specialists explain that music isn’t only a combination of pleasant sounds.

There are a lot of different kinds of music. Some of them appeared long ago, and some are modern. For example, folk music appeared long ago, but it is still alive. There are many local performers, choirs and folk groups in Russia; but perhaps the most famous singer is Nadezhda Babkina. Folk songs are very tuneful and pleasant to listen to. Classical music is often associated with the music of the past. However, this style also includes music being written now, and we may speak of modern classical music. Rap is a modern musical style where the singer speaks or shouts the words in time to music with a steady beat. Such artist as Eminem or group House of Pain are leaders in this style.

Tastes differ. So people’s musical interests range from pop and rock music, which are extremely popular nowadays, especially among young people, to classical music and opera.

When I have free time I listen different records. I also like having background music while I am working.

It’s a pity that many young people like to listen only to modern music. As for me, I also enjoy listening to classical music. Classical music is always a complex of emotions. It gives me delight, pleasure and a sense of happiness. Not long ago I listened to the Polonez — Goodbye to the nature land, composed by Oginsky. This music is sad, but I like sad music too.

The music I hate is heavy metal. I find it noisy and dreadful. Though some young people are fond of this style of music, it is not to everyone’s taste. To my mind, music too loud can destroy our ears. I am indifferent to other styles of music. For example, I don’t mind listening to jazz.

Each generation has its own tastes.

Музыка в моей жизни (перевод на русский язык)

Могли ли вы представить наши дни без музыки? Мы учимся слушать музыку везде: на улице и дома, по радио и по телевидению, в магазинах и в парках. Люди со всего мира увлекаются музыкой. Они слушают музыку, они танцуют под музыку, они учаться играть на музыкальных инструментах.

Но что же это такое — музыка? Специалисты объясняют это так, что музыка — это не просто набор приятных звуков.

Существует множество видов музыки. Некоторые из них основаны давно, некоторые современны. К примеру, фолк основан давно, но он все еще жив. Так, в России очень много хоров и фолк групп. Возможно, они и не так знамениты, как Надежда Бабкина. Музыку фолк очень приятно слушать. Классическая музыка часто ассоциируется с музыкой из прошлого. Однако, этот стиль также включает музыку, написанную в наше время, и таким образом, мы можем говорить о современной классической музыке. Рэп — современный музыкальный стиль, где певцы говорят словами во время проигрывания музыки в быстром темпе.Такой артист, как Эминем или же группа House of Pain — лидеры в этом стиле.

Вкусы у всех различны. Так, музыкальные интересы людей варьируются от попа до роковой музыки, — которая в нашей время очень популярна, особенно среди молодых людей, до классической музыки и оперы.

Мой любимый стиль музыки — это поп музыка, потому что она полна энергии и вдохновения. Когдая слушаю поп музыку, мне вспоминаются счастливые моменты и я забываю каждодневные неурядицы. Это помогает мне расслабиться, когда я устал и возбуждает меня, когда мне хочется повеселиться. Моя любимая группа — Биттлз. Хотя группа до сих пор не существует, они все еще популярны в народе.

Когда у меня есть свободное время, я слушаю. Когда я работаю, я также люблю слушать фоновую музыку.

Вообще, жалко, когда многие молодые люди любят слушать только современную музыку. Что до меня, я также слушаю классику. Классическая музыка — это всегда переплетение эмоций. Она дает мне легкость, удовольствие и чувство счастья. Не так давно я слушал полонез Огинского. Эта музыка печальна, и я люблю печальную музыку.

Музыка, которую я ненавижу — это тяжелый металл. Я нахожу ее шумной и ужасной. Хотя некоторые молодые люди любят этот стиль, все же она не все вкусы. Что до меня, эта музыка слишком громка и может повредить нашим ушам. К остальным стилям я холоден. К примеру, я не слушаю джаз.

Каждое поколение имеет свой собственный вкус.

Music is the universal language of the world with some meaning at least for the immense majority of people. It is the mirror of our lives and life problems. People can’t live without music.

It is everywhere at home, in a concert hall, in parks at the seaside and even in the forest. Nowadays it thunders out of every high-street shop, hotel, restaurant, public transport.

Music is an art, which reflects life, people’s ideas and emotions. There are different musical genres: symphony, concerto, opera, ballet and others.

Some music is difficult to understand, but other’s types are not very difficult. Some people have an idea of classical music as of complicated art it’s difficult to find the way into it.

As a result of changing times many young people today are gravitating towards new rhythms and new styles. Music is simple, cheerful and up-to-date now. While listening to such music you can dance or just talk to friends.

Music affects our bodies. Some music promotes loving feelings, other - hate. Susan Burkhardt said that all music can be divided into 3 types. The 1st is low-energy music that makes you feel bad. The next category is high-energy music that makes you feel better and it can help to normalize heart rate. The 3d category is prayerful music that is the most healing of all. Music is being used in hospitals, and doctors have found that 20 min. of soothing music is often effective than sleeping pills.

Different people prefer different kinds of music. As for me I listen to different kinds, but most of all I prefer pop music.

Перевод

Музыка - универсальный язык общения для огромного количества людей во всем мире. Она является отражением нашей жизни и насущных проблем.

Люди не могут жить без музыки. Она повсюду: в домах и концертных залах, в парках и на побережье, в лесу… В наши дни она доносится из магазинов, отелей, ресторанов, общественного транспорта.

Музыка - это искусство, которое отражает жизнь, идеи и эмоции людей. Существуют различные музыкальные жанры: симфония, концерт, опера, балет и другие.

Порой музыку сложно понять. Некоторые считают, что классическая музыка сложна для понимания.

Времена меняются, и молодежь тянется к новым ритмам и стилям. Сейчас популярна простая энергичная и современная музыка. Под такую музыку можно танцевать или просто болтать с друзьями.

Музыка влияет на нас. Некоторая музыка вызывает чувство любви, другая - ненависти. Сьюзан Буркхард считает, что всю музыку можно разделить на три типа. Первый тип - низкоэнергетическая музыка, после прослушивания которой, вы чувствуете себя плохо. Второй тип - высокоэнергетическая музыка, слушая которую, вы чувствуете себя лучше, она нормализует сердечный ритм. Третий тип - музыка молитв, это исцеляющая музыка. Музыку использовали в больницах, и доктора заметили, что прослушивание успокаивающей музыки в течение 20 минут эффективнее, чем снотворное.

Разные люди предпочитают слушать разную музыку. Я слушаю разную музыку, но чаще всего слушаю поп музыку.

Topic «Music in our life» (Топик на английском языке Музыка в нашей жизни)

We listening to the music every day and everywhere. But who can tell us what is it music ? Some people think that it’s just arrangement of sounds or voices. But I think it’s something more. Some people even say that there is no practical use for mankind in music. It’s not a food, shelter, medicines and you cannot even touch it. But the other spend all their lives to create it. May be their are wrong? Let’s try to check this out.
Music is what follows us almost everywhere — at home, at work, in shops, we listen to it while travelling, dreaming, and playing on the computer… As far as I’m concerned music is a necessary part of my life. I suppose all of us wouldn’t be able to live in a way we live now if music didn’t exist. And it’s all because of the enormous influence of music on our lives.
Well, music evokes all kinds of emotions — your temper goes up when you listen to a cheerful piece of music, doesn’t it? Some songs make you recollect various events — and you feel nostalgia, sometimes even anguish. Hundreds of songs are about love — and when you’re in love you feel these songs are natural for you and the melody and lyrics express exactly what you feel. Serene and clear music washes away your sorrow, soul-elevating songs help to understand that life goes on. On the other hand, music can make you feel anxiety, boredom or even rage if it’s not the «right» music for you. I believe that music influences my life a lot. It helps me to grow up, to overcome difficulties, to feel various emotions more deeply. I also listen to songs as background music and, if to choose the right piece of music, it’s a very useful collaboration. For example, right now I’m listening to peaceful sweet melodies and it stimulates my activity. I like listening to my favourite songs, very eloquent and striking, while drawing and painting. Here I should say that the topic and the mood of my pictures usually depend on this music. And I often enjoy listening to music while going somewhere or just strolling down the streets. Firstly it entertains me and makes the trip shorter, secondly it helps to notice the beauty of our town. How wonderful it’s to watch yellow leaves falling, the sun shining and listen to your favourite songs at the same time.
But the influence of music can be negative, even destructive sometimes. Some «musical» bands are not musical at all, they don’t play music but only make some noise and a monotonous succession of sounds. Scientists say that listening to it may even make your spatial reasoning more difficult. Moreover, the lyrics are not of a high-quality, they are very rude, violent, primitive and sometimes preach fascism and ruthlessness. Certainly the intake of such «music» can’t appeal to good feelings. Music can also become an obsession. Tn this case we can say that music is destructive because these people can’t enjoy the life entirely.
So, why do different people prefer various kinds of music? The reason for it is that we all have different mental, physical and emotional tendencies. The physical and psychological reactions will differ because of the varying characteristics we have inherited. Each of us has his own spiritual world and chooses the music which is natural for him. In my opinion the choice of music also depends on our age and gender. For instance, children like simple cheerful songs, young lads prefer either rock or rap — it entertains them, its lyrics help to find the solution to problems. Lots of teenager-girls are fond of calm songs about love, adults listen to rather simple music as background music while driving to work or reading newspapers. Our Grannies and Granddads like old songs which remind them of their past. That’s why sometimes there is misunderstanding between fathers and sons, girls and boys — people don’t want to listen to other opinions, don’t want to understand we all have different perception of the world.
Nowadays there are numerous genres of music but the main are classical, pop, rock and rap music. The majority of people listen to all kinds of music — the name of the genres doesn’t play any role for them,’songs themselves should be attractive — it can be heavy-metal music or a tender clear pop hit. But some people prefer only one genre (for example, classical music) and try to convince everybody that rock or rap are not worth listening to. I can’t stand such declarations — if a person finds classical music boring it doesn’t mean he is stupid! At the same time rock-fans are not always rude as many people think. And I reckon that if more people could make allowances for other opinions there would be fewer conflicts and offences. I think that people refer different music to various genres because music needs to be classified. Without it people just cannot find the song they want. So the aim of classification is comfort not offences. I listen to various music, usually rock, but I also like classical and high-quality pop music. Perhaps I don’t listen to rap and hip-hop only, maybe
because I am not fond of its lyrics, Nowadays rock is a very wide notion: I suppose no one knows all its genres.
I prefer indie-rock. Indie means something strange, not usual, something new. It’s not like heavy metal, for example, it’s much more melodic and personal, I think. Tndie-rock musicians sing about friendship, growing up, growing old, love, politics, the meaning of life — so their lyrics aren’t primitive (like the lyrics of most pop songs), they make you reason. I believe you can find there the answers to your questions. Another reason for my appreciation of Tndie-rock is that the sounds of their music know no bounds — besides guitars and drams they can use the piano, the violin, the woodwinds, even the organ! I know lots of songs which were recorded with a symphony orchestra. So we can see that even rock and classical music can «get along with» each other.
From time to time I listen to light cheerful songs with almost senseless lyrics — they raise my mood and help to relax. All in all, my choice of music depends on the situation.
Taking everything into account I’d like to say that music is something personal for each human — it’s not just an entertainment but a part of your soul and mind. That’s why choose what you like, not what is popular or considered to be good. You’ll be very surprised with results — maybe you’ll see everything from another point of view. And — who knows? — music will encourage you to do what you have never dared to do or inspire you to create something so striking that it will change many people’s lives.

Can you think of a day without music? We can hear music everywhere: in the streets and at home, over the radio and on TV, in the shops and in the parks. People all over the world are fond of music. They listen to music, they dance to music, they learn to play musical instruments.

But what is music? Specialists explain that music isn"t only a combination of pleasant sounds. It is an art which reflects life. There are a lot of different kinds of music. Some of them appeared long ago, and some are modern. For example, folk music appeared long ago, but it is still alive. There are many local performers, choirs and folk groups in Russia; but perhaps the most famous singer is Nadezhda Babkina. Folk songs are very tuneful and pleasant to listen to. Classical music is often associated with the music of the past. However, this style also includes music being written now, and we may speak of modern classical music. Rap is a modern musical style where the singer speaks or shouts the words in time to music with a steady beat. Such groups as Public Enemy or House of Pain are leaders in this style.

Great Britain has produced more popular music stars than any other country. Over the last 30 years rock and pop music have been very popular in Britain. The Beatles, with their style of singing, eloquent and exciting, is still one of the most popular groups. British groups often set new trends in music. New styles, groups and singers continue to appear. Some of the more recent pop groups are Dire Straits, Eurhythmics and Spice Girls. Many of the new bands have been able to use the changes in technology to develop their music. Computerized drum machines, synthesizers and other electronic instruments are now just as popular as the piano and electric guitars.

Tastes differ. So people"s musical interests range from pop and rock music, which are extremely popular nowadays, especially among young people, to classical music and opera.

My favourite style of music is pop music, because it is breathtaking and full of energy. When I listen to pop music it makes me remember happy times and forget the problems of everyday life. It helps me to relax when I"m tired, and entertains me when I"d like to have fun. My favourite group is Abba. It was formed in 1973 in Sweden. Abba"s cheerful tunes made them international pop stars and one of the most successful groups of the seventies. Their most famous songs ("Waterloo", "Money, Money, Money", "Knowing Me, Knowing You", etc.) often topped European charts. Though the group doesn"t exist any more, it is still popular with people of all ages. I can"t but admire their style of singing. I find it fascinating and overwhelming. When I have free time I listen to their records. I also like having background music while I am working.

I don"t mind listening to dance music, especially when I go to disco clubs. This style of music is catchy and I like catchy tunes. It makes me more energetic.

It"s a pity that many young people like to listen only to modern music. As for me, I also enjoy listening to classical music. I find it tuneful and appealing. Classical music is always a complex of emotions. It gives me delight, pleasure and a sense of happiness. Some pieces of classical music are really wonderful. Not long ago I listened to the First Piano Concerto, composed by Tchaikovsky. The power of his music captivated me. The impression was overwhelming.

The music I hate is heavy metal. I find it noisy and dreadful. When I listen to this style of music it presents to my mind pictures of dark days. Though some young people are fond of this style of music, it is not to everyone"s taste. To my mind, music too loud can destroy our ears. I am indifferent to other styles of music. For example, I don"t mind listening to jazz. Improvisation is an important part of this style, that"s why a jazz song may sound a little different each time it is played. I think that jazz is a mixture of many different kinds of music, but I consider it a bit complicated.

My mother and father approve of my tastes in music. Though they prefer to listen to classical and "bard music", they think that, on the whole, modern music is not too bad. My parents agree that each generation has its own tastes.

It goes without saying that music plays a very important role in people"s lives. It reflects our moods and emotions. Music appeals to our hearts and transforms our feelings. It conquers our souls and enriches our minds. Besides, listening to music is the perfect way to spend free time and not to feel bored. You can hardly find a person who doesn"t like or need music and who never sings or dances. Music is beauty in sounds; it is our magic source of inspiration.
