Music is an international language.The songs that are sung or played by instruments are beautiful to all people everywhere.
Popular music in America is what every student likes.Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class，after class and at lunch.Students with cars buy large speakers(扬声器)and play the music loudly as they drive on the street.
Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work.They also listen to the news about sports，the weather，politics，and activities of the American people.But most of the radio broadcast is music.

ld sing at night to the cows they were watching.Today，any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music.

Ways to make a great first impression
You’ve heard it a million times already, but it really does take but a few seconds to make that all-important first impression (印象). Here are some easy ways for you to impress your classmates or teachers.
● 1.
Before you shake hands with somebody, make sure that your hands are clean. The handshake should not be too strong or weak. Most people use their right hands, unless they have a reason to use the left. 2.
● Be on time
When meeting someone for the first time, arriving on time is as important as breathing. You may have an excuse, but that will leave the person who hardly knows you with a bad impression. 3. It’s better to be hanging around the place than be stuck in traffic.
● Introduce yourself and ask for names
Make sure you properly introduce yourself. Ask for their name in a polite way. 4. This will increase the chances of their remembering your name in the future. Always remember to stand up when greeting someone and be sure to introduce them to anyone you’re with.
● Make good conversation
To get the most out of your discussion, try to find something common between the two of you. 5. A person will feel more comfortable with someone they can relate to (产生共鸣).
A. You’ll be in serious trouble if you leave them with a bad impression.
B. However, don’t have your left hand in your pocket because this appears impolite.
C. Use body language
D. Have a proper handshake
E. Repeat the name and use it later in conversation.
F. As a general rule, plan to arrive about 30 minutes early.
G. It could be a similar taste in clothes or a common hobby.
