So just as you read English, you can read music. By writing pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time. I
20、 can read or hear the ideas of someone who lived hundreds of years ago, which is really quite exciting.Both vary (改变) with culture. You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language they use. In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world,

27、 you have often read in your own language in English. Reading, stories especially, is a great way of improving your vocabulary and spelling without noticing as you are lost in the story.
