Read the passage and then do the tasks that follow
There are two things that make humans different from all
other animals. They are language and music. Music is clearly
different from language. However, people can use it to
communicate – especially their emotions. Like reading,
writing and speaking, music can express ideas, thoughts and
feelings. It can express one’s anger, love, hate or friendship;
it can also convey one’s hopes and dreams.
Music is very much an integral part of our life. It is played
during almost all important events and on special occasions
and sets the tone for them. It adds joyfulness to the
atmosphere of a festival and makes a funeral more solemn
and mournful. Music lulls babies to sleep at night and wakes
students up in the morning.
Above all, music entertains. It makes people happy and
excited. It delights the senses. In fact, music as entertainment
has always been a big business. It is a billion – dollar
industry. It is difficult to imagine what our lives would be like
without music.
