Music can enrich spirits and enlighten hearts．Some people like classical music, others like popular music．Like most young people, I especially like popular music．There are many kinds of popular music, such as rock music, heavy metallic music, light music and so on．
Popular music is more accessible(易接近的) to the youngsters, while classical music is a little far away and requires some special knowledge to appreciate it．Popular songs like “Sweetheart” and “Always Be My Baby” are very simple．When one listens to these songs, he can easily understand and follow them．
In addition, most popular music works are written about love－a topic most youngsters care about．Popular music is an important method of emotional (情感的) expression．Youngsters value romantic(浪漫的) dreams about love．They are usually deeply moved by what the singer sings．A friend of mine was upset when she lost her boyfriend．But several days later, I found that she calmed down．I asked her, “Why?” She told me Marian’s song cheered her up．
Furthermore, popular music is expressive of strong feelings．We youngsters have many strong feelings about the world around us．We want to express them．Popular songs help us to realize our ideas．Some music, such as rock music, can easily call up resonance(引起共鸣) among young people．When I fail to do something, I listen to the rock music, letting my feelings out．
At the same time, there is no doubt that there are also many advantages in classical music．Classical music is more profound(深刻的) than popular music．Take Beijing operas for example, I can’t appreciate them very much because it takes special knowledge to really understand it．Perhaps I’ll like classical music when I grow up．
