People listen to music for different reasons and at different times.Why is music important to many people?Use specific reasons and examples to support your choice.
Music has always been important to people.Scientists have found musical instruments at the camp sites of ancient humans.While the reasons why ancient humans made music may never be known, music today is still quite popular.People listen to music to help them relax,concentrate,and express their emotions.
Music is excellent for helping people relax.This is because music helps transport people to a different place.For instance,whenever I have too much stress,I always listen to my favourite song. No matter where I am,the moment I hear that song,I think about the time I was at the concert and heard it live.For that moment,all my stress is gone,and I am back at the auditorium,away from my trouble.
Music is great for helping people concentrate.By removing distractions,music enables people to get focused.To illustrate this,think about students who like to listen to their MP3players while studying. Many people,especially parents,think the students are just playing around.However,listening to music gets rid of all other noises so the students can focus on their work.
Music is beneficial for people who want to express their emotions.Too often,people don’t know how to express what they feel inside.To be more specific,young people often experience new feelings that they cannot put into words.Listening to a love song or a sad song helps them express their emotions, since it can be hard for them to express those feelings to others.
In conclusion,for relaxation,concentration,and emotional health,music has a number of benefits. While some people often see music as just being junk,they don’t realize the many benefits that it has. As a result,it is important that people have the chance to listen to music so they can be happy. (311words,typing in12minutes)
