I like musical best. First of all, I love music very much, and musical is adistinctive and amazing way to express music. Secondly, they use songs, dances,fabulous sets and costumes to make the words to life. What's more, they are notonly singing but also telling a touching story. All of these factors make melove it so much. When I watching a musical, I feel myself is in the story and issinging with them. In addition, the origins of the musicals are attracting me alot too. I dream to pay visits to the Broadway in the US or the West End inLondon. And I want to find how the musical evolved from there. All in all,musical is really fascinating.

I like watching cosmic dramas for the following aspects. First of all,after watch cosmic dramas we can get up feeling full of energy and confident tomanage the work of the rest day. It gives us a break from the tedious and hardwork, the strict and shouting boss, and peer pressure from our coworker. Forexample, While watching comedies, you don't have agonize yourself to guess thedeep meaning of the movie or point out the trick from the complicated plot. Allyou have to do is to lean back and enjoy the shows, you may get nothing but joyafter the movie.
3. Describe your favorite song/music. Explain why you like it. Includereasons and examples to support your
response My favorite music is pop music /I am more interested in pop musicthan classical music.On the one hand, it is easy to understand and close to ourlives. That's why so many people love it. Meanwhile, by listening to pop music,I can keep up with the time. On the other hand, although classical music has somuch more depth and meaning, I ha
ven't got the appetite to enjoy yet.Theoretically speaking, pop music is roughly divided into two types: music whichstimulates people and music which calms us. It seems that music which stimulatesus gives rise to actual changes in our bodies. So if I am tired or drowsy duringmy work hour I will choose the stimulating music, because if we listen to it,our hearts beat faster , our blood pressure rises, and our blood flows morequickly. On the other hand, I'll listen to calming music. In this way, my heartbeats more gently, my pressure drops, and I feel calm. The sooth flowingmelodies help me relax.
I really enjoy listening to music and pop music or pop song is my favorite.One reason is that most lyrics of the pop music are about every-day life, sothey are quite comfortable, relaxing and easy to remember. Another reason isthat being quite a good singer myself, I really love to sing pop songs, and myfavorite singers and bands include Backstreet boys, Westlife, M2M and Ace ofBase. Finally, to me, pop music is far more than the music itself. It gave me alot of inspirations and ideas which helped me to do a better job in many otherthings. For examples, I once cited a few lines from “the day you went away” byM2M in one of my essays, and my teacher said it was very touching.

假定是我国甲A足球赛，才不去现场呢!生气。可是假定是有机缘去看欧洲杯的话，不晓得要比看电视过瘾(to one's heart'scontent)多少倍!
假定是F4的演唱会，是必定不能去的，电视也不看!可是假定是rolling rock的演唱会，就必定要去了——怅惘，因为SARS撤消了。

初始社会(primitive society)时，舞蹈对错常重要的。庆祝(celebration;festival)，恳求(pray)，宗教典礼(ritual)等等活动中，舞蹈都是最首要的构成有些(one of the most importantcomponents)。
