I- PRE-READING
II - WHILE- READING
There are two things that make humans different from all
other animals. They are language and music. Music is clearly
differently from language. However, people can use it to
communicate – especially their emotions. Like reading, writing and
speaking, music can express ideas, thoughts and feelings. It can
express one’s anger, love, hate or friendship; it can also convey
one’s hopes and dreams.
Music is very much an integral part of our life. It is play
during almost all important events and on special occasions and

sets the tone for them. It adds joyfulness to the atmosphere of
a festival and makes a funeral more solemn and mournful. Music
lulls babies to sleep at night and wakes students up in the
morning.
Above all, music entertains. It makes people happy and
excited. It delights the senses. In fact, music as entertainment
has always been a big business. It is a billion-dollar industry. It is
difficult to imagine what our lives would be like without music.
