62、music during class breaks.参考范文Last week our school did a survey on whether it is necessary to broadcast music during class breaks.Nearly half of the students think classical music is better,which is good for character-building.About 35% of the students believe English songs should be broadcast,which
63、 is good for English study.At the same time,they can learn about British and American culture.Only 10% of the students prefer popular music.They hold the view that listening to pop music can help them relax and good music can inspire them in many ways.However,15% of the students oppose the idea,because they think students need a quiet place to rest.I am keen on some classical music,because we can have a peaceful mind so that we can concentrate on study in class.
