Music in My LifeМузыка в моей жизниMusic plays an important role in my life. I simply can’t live without music. There are so many kinds of music nowadays, including rap, hip-hop, rock-n-roll, dance, classical, opera, alternative, drum & bass, techno, rock, metal, jazz, reggae, blues, etc. I like nearly all these types. When I’m sad I listen to alternative music or rock. When I’m in good mood I listen to either hip-hop or dance music. Sometimes my teacher takes us to classical concerts or operas, which I also enjoy. When there is a school disco I like dancing at rap and techno music. Once or twice I went to a jazz concert, which I thought was marvelous. At the moment my favourite band is “Linkin Park”. I love their songs and listen to them every time I get a spare minute. The reason why I like them is the unusual melody and intelligent texts. The band was formed in 1996 and was named after one of Californian parks. There are six people in the band. The most talented of all is Chester Bennington. Although I like all their songs and albums, my favourite one if “Skin to Bone”. Their songs follow different styles. Some songs refer to rock, some – to alternative style, others – to metal. Speaking of British music, I enjoy one of the oldest and non-existent now bands – “The Beatles”. I think their music will never die as it’s legendary. Reggae is another style I follow and my all-time favourite singer is Bob Marley. To sum up, I’d like to say that music can influence people. It can inspire and enrich them. It can remind of some places and times. Music is not only another art form but a powerful force, which helps us to live.

Dear Ben, I’m very happy too! I’m going to go on holiday in June. I’m going to London.It's one of my favourite cities. We are going there with my classmates and our teacher. We are going to see a lot of interesting places in London. First of all we will see Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, the Thames and the Tower of London. Just imagine it! Then we are going to see Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Square with Nelson's Column and the British Museum. My dream will come true soon, because we are going to take a ride on the London Eye and to watch the Changing of the Guard near Buckingham Palace. Unfortunately, we are not going to visit St Paul's Cathedral and Hide Park I hope I'll learn a lot of useful information and take a lot of interesting photos. I'll send you some of them. Keep in touch. Best wishes, Vlad
Дорогой Бен, Я тоже очень счастлив! Я собираюсь поехать на каникулы в июне. Я собираюсь в Лондон. Это один из моих любимых городов. Мы едем туда с моими одноклассниками и нашим учителем. Мы собираемся увидеть много интересных мест в Лондоне. Прежде всего мы увидим Биг-Бен и Вестминстерский Дворец, Темзу и Лондонский Тауэр. Ты только представь себе! Затем мы посетим Вестминстерское аббатство, Трафальгарскую площадь с колонной Нельсона и Британский музей. Моя мечта скоро сбудется, ведь мы собираемся прокатиться на Лондонском Оке (Колесе обозрения) и посмотреть на смену караула у Букингемского Дворца. К сожалению, мы не посетим Собор Святого Павла и Гайд Парк Надеюсь, я узнаю много полезной информации и сделаю много интересных фотографий. Я пришлю тебе некоторые из них. Будь на связи, пиши. С наилучшими пожеланиями, Влад
