When we talk about music, we can think of different kinds of it. Some people like pop music very much, but it often comes and goes so quickly. It shows our deep feelings of love, hate, joy and sadness in daily life, so it is quite popular among young people.
However, classical music is not so lucky among young people though it’s the symbol of high music level. We know that classical music is serious music, so some people can’t understand its real meaning. That’s why it’s not popular among youngsters.
In fact, folk music is different from other music forms.It’s more traditional than entertainment (娱乐). In American history, fork music began to show up when people needed it most.The earliest folk songs were those like “Down by the Riverside”, “We Shall over come” etc. Yhese are songs about hard life, but they are also full of hopes. Anyway(无论如何)， anybody can understand folk music and it also welcomes everyone to join.

Mrs. Smith often felt lonely when her husband went to work. The room was small and she always spent only half an hour tidying it. She couldn’t get up early in the morning, so Mr. Smith had to cook breakfast himself. She usually had some bread and milk for lunch and only cooked supper for herself and her husband. They had no TV. Mr. Smith always went to bed at nine.
It was a winter morning. The sun was shining and it was warmer outside than it was in the room. The woman sat on the step of a shop, looking at the busy traffic. At that moment, a man with a map in his hand was coming towards her.
“Excuse me, madam.” said the man.”Could you tell me how to get to the nearest hospital, please?”
Mrs. Smith looked at him up and down. “He seems a farmer.” the woman said to herself. “Let me laugh at him.”
Then she turned to him and said, “Lie down in the middle of the street, and you’ll soon be sent to a hospital.”
“Please set an example to me, then.” said the man.
She had to tell him the way and then she said, “I think you must be in a city for the first time. It’s much more beautiful than the field. Is that right?”
“Yes, madam,” said the farmer with a smile. “But I think it is built on the field!”
