What does music symbolize to the people!?
I think that is a great question.
Everybody likes music, everybody listens to music. Some people listen to music to relax, other to pratice exercises, or other things. Music is a very important thing for people.
Music is part of our daily life.
For example: Mark loves listening to music while he is running. He says: “It helps me to distract myself so the time goes by faster!”
Rita listens to music when she is very sad because it helps her to cheer up. Many mothers play some music to calm their children down. Some people use music to say to other people what they can’t express by words. For example, when a boy wants to tell to “that” gilr that she is the one!
There are many types of music like: rock music, jazz, rpb. We only have to choose. Choose and listen to it! It also helps us in several situations.
Music is something we need and like so it is also a good therapy for us!

Teens Club 4
Billy: Yes, there was. She sat on the three chairs. The big daddy bear’s chair was too hard, the medium-size mammy bear’s chair was too soft and the small baby bear’s chair was just right, but she broke it.
Bud: Why?
Billy: Because she was heavy. She then decided to sleep. She went upstairs. In the bedroom were three beds. A big daddy bear’s bed, a medium-size mommy bear’s bed and a little baby bear’s bed. She lay down on the three beds one at a time. The daddy’s chair was too big, the mom’s bed was too small and the son’s bear was just right. Finally, she fell asleep.
Bud: Ok.Thank you, good night. Let me sleep.
From Ana
