People played it on piano and was very fast. Some of the songs had　 28 and were easy 29 . Some of the songs were only music but were easy to dance, too. In the 1920s, a style called “crooning” was popular. Men sang it with a very gentle voice. In the 1930s and 1940s, “jazz” became popular.

Do you have many friends in this busy and noisy world? I think you can give me your answer without thinking for a minute. Friendship is so 　 31　 　that no one can live if he has no friends.
