Answer
Do a lot of people like music?
Sure thing! Yeah, a lot of people are really into music. You can always see folks with their headphones on, whether they're on the bus or just hanging /ˈhæŋɪŋ/out. Music just plays a huge role in everyone's daily lives.
Do schools in your country have musical lessons?
Sure! Yeah, schools here definitely have music classes. Kids usually get at least one lesson a week where they sing, learn the basics, and sometimes play instruments. I think adding music to the curriculum really makes learning more enjoyable and well-rounded.
Have you ever learned to play a musical instrument?
Of course! I’ve picked up both guitar and piano before. I found the piano easier to start with, kinda/ˈkaɪndə/ like typing on a keyboard. Playing music has always been a fun and rewarding hobby for me.
What musical instruments do you enjoy listening to the most?
I’m really into the Guzheng, a traditional Chinese zither. Its dreamy/ˈdriːmi/ tones kinda take me to a peaceful place, like wandering through a quiet forest. Whenever I’m stressed, listening to Guzheng music always helps me chill out.
