Do a lot of people like music?

溯风止draft and correction version

There is are indeed a lot of people, who truly love music. I must to say, it's definitely not difficult to find citizens wearing ~~a earphone~~ earphones to listen to music ~~when they are~~ while commuting. ~~And~~ If you go to the library, you will ~~find~~ notice more and more students or the public are studying with ~~a pure music~~ classical music playing softly in the background. ~~Additionally,~~ For me, I usually listen to ~~exciting~~ upbeat music when ~~I'm in down emotion~~ I feeling down, and prefer ~~listen some light~~ listening to light melodies ~~when I'm going to sleep~~ as I prepare to sleep.

Well, I'd say that a vast majority/məˈdʒɒrəti/ of people absolutely love music. It's actually quite common to see people wearing/ˈweərɪŋ/ headphones while commuting, kind of completely immersed in their own world of music. Additionally, if you happen to visit a library/ˈlaɪbrəri/, you'll probably notice that more and more students are studying with soft classical music playing in the background, which seems to enhance their concentration. As for me, whenever I'm feeling a bit down, I tend to listen to upbeat songs to lift my spirits/ˈspɪrɪt/, and I usually opt for soothing/ˈsuːðɪŋ/ melodies as I wind down for the night.
GPT old version

Undoubtedly/ʌnˈdaʊtɪdli/, a vast number of people are immensely/ɪˈmensli/ fond of music. For example, my friends and I frequently listen to music and even engage in singing during/ˈdjʊərɪŋ/ social gatherings. In fact, music often functions as a universal/ˌjuːnɪˈvɜːs(ə)l/ language for people to connect and express their emotions. When individuals are feeling melancholic/ˌmelənˈkɒlɪk/, they might opt for soothing/ˈsuːðɪŋ/ melodies to comfort themselves; conversely/ˈkɒnvɜːsli/, when they are exhilarated/ɪɡˈzɪləreɪtɪd/, they may choose upbeat /ˈʌpbiːt/tunes/tjuːnz/ to convey/kənˈveɪ/ their excitement. Thus, it's evident that many people not only enjoy music but also utilize/ˈjuːtəlaɪz/ it to manifest/ˈmænɪfest/ their current emotional state.

Well, schools in my country do have music lessons. In fact, music education is a fundamental part of the curriculum/kəˈrɪkjələm/ in both elementary and middle schools, typically with at least one class scheduled/ˈskedʒuːld/ per week. During these sessions, teachers generally/ˈdʒen(ə)rəli/ introduce basic musical concepts and singing techniques, and they often include some instrument performance as well. Personally, I believe integrating/ˈɪntɪɡreɪtɪŋ/ music into education greatly enriches/ɪz/ their learning experience.

Have you ever learned to play a musical instrument?

Yes,I have. I certainly learned to play the guitar and the piano. I must say, the piano is much ~~more~~ easier for ~~beginner~~ beginners to get started with, compared ~~with~~ to the guitar. Personally, I think, playing piano is kind of similar to typing ~~words with the keyboard~~ on a keyboard. Like, even though you ~~don't~~ may not have any experience in playing it, if you ~~just keep in mind the typing order~~ remember the key positions, you ~~definitely can~~ can definitely perform a whole song, i mean, ~~if you don't mind the accuracy of rhythm~~ although the rhythm might not be accurate.
GPT new version

Well, yes, I have indeed learned/ˈlɜːnɪd/ to play musical instruments. In fact, I've dabbled/ˈdæb(ə)l/ in both the guitar and the piano. And I must say, the piano is considerably/kənˈsɪdərəbli/ easier for beginners to get started with, especially compared to the guitar. Personally, I feel like that playing the piano is kind of akin/əˈkɪn/ to typing on a keyboard; even if you lack of extensive experience/ɪkˈspɪəriəns/, as long as you remember the key positions, you can certainly perform an entire piece, although/ɔːlˈðəʊ/ the rhythm/ˈrɪðəm/ might not be entirely precise. So, overall, learning the piano was quite an enjoyable and fulfilling experience for me.
GPT old version

Yes, I have indeed learned to play musical instruments. In fact, I've spent some time learning both the guitar and the piano/piˈænəʊ/. Interestingly, I found the piano significantly easier to learn compared to the guitar. Perhaps that's because, in my view, the piano is more like a keyboard, which gives me a familiar/fəˈmɪliə(r)/ feeling.
