　　I like musical best. First of all, I love music very much, and musical is a distinctive and amazing way to express music. Secondly, they use songs, dances, fabulous sets and costumes to make the words to life. What’s more, they are not only singing but also telling a touching story. All of these factors make me love it so much. When I watching a musical, I feel myself is in the story and is singing with them. In addition, the origins of the musicals are attracting me a lot too. I dream to pay visits to the Broadway in the US or the West End in London. And I want to find how the musical evolved from there. All in all, musical is really fascinating.

　　坚持健康 get up feeling full of energy and confident to manage the work of the rest day. Give us a break from the tedious and hard work, the strict and shouting boss, and peer pressure from our coworker. For example, While watching comedies, you don’t have agonize yourself to guess the deep meaning of the movie or point out the trick from the complicated plot. All you have to do is to lean back and enjoy the shows, you may get nothing but joy after the movie.

　　3. Describe your favorite song/music. Explain why you like it. Include reasons and examples to support your response

　　My favorite music is pop music /I am more interested in pop music than classical music.On the one hand, it is easy to understand and close to our lives. That’s why so many people love it. Meanwhile, by listening to pop music, I can keep up with the time. On the other hand, although classical music has so much more depth and meaning, I haven’t got the appetite to enjoy yet. Theoretically speaking, pop music is roughly divided into two types: music which stimulates people and music which calms us. It seems that music which stimulates us gives rise to actual changes in our bodies. So if I am tired or drowsy during my work hour I will choose the stimulating music, because if we listen to it, our hearts beat faster , our blood pressure rises, and our blood flows more quickly. On the other hand, I’ll listen to calming music. In this way, my heart beats more gently, my pressure drops, and I feel calm. The sooth flowing melodies help me relax.

　　I really enjoy listening to music and pop music or pop song is my favorite. One reason is that most lyrics of the pop music are about every-day life, so they are quite comfortable, relaxing and easy to remember. Another reason is that being quite a good singer myself, I really love to sing pop songs, and my favorite singers and bands include Backstreet boys, Westlife, M2M and Ace of Base. Finally, to me, pop music is far more than the music itself. It gave me a lot of inspirations and ideas which helped me to do a better job in many other things. For examples, I once cited a few lines from “the day you went away” by M2M in one of my essays, and my teacher said it was very touching.

　　4. 35 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Attending a live performance (for example, a play, concert, or sporting event) is more enjoyable than watching the same event on television. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.

　　参阅分析：

　　同意或许不同意都是片面的。评论现场的优点(比方氛围好air of excitement;投入感强 getting involved)和电视转播(television live show)的优点(比方，有说明commentary/commentator;多镜头various angle of view; 镜头组接 montage)，至于挑选，要视情况而定。

　　· 如果是我国甲A足球赛，才不去现场呢!生气。但是如果是有机会去看欧洲杯的话，不知道要比看电视过瘾(to one's heart's content)多少倍!

　　· 如果是F4的演唱会，是绝对不能去的，电视也不看!但是如果是rolling rock的演唱会，就一定要去了——惋惜，由于SARS取消了。

　　35、参与现场扮演比在家看电视好
