Both language and music play a huge role in our culture． Here are some of their similarities．
（1）Both language and music have a writing system．
In English we record language using letters． Similarly， we use notes to record music． Just as you are reading letters and find meaning in them， musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music． So just as you read English， you can read music． By writing pieces of text or music， we are able to share experiences through time． I can read the ideas or hear the works of someone who lived hundreds of years ago， which is really exciting．
（2）
You can guess where someone is from by listening to the language they use．In the same way，styles of music are different around the world， giving us the chance to understand many different cultures， This also means that there is something for everyone! Even if you don't like British pop music， you may love the energy of Latin American salsa music．
（3）Both share feelings．
How do you know that I am angry？ Of course you can see it in my face， but you will know for sure through my words， Similarly， music can show you exactly how the composer （作曲者） was or is feeling． When I'm happy， I want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate my happiness； and I listen to slow and quiet music when I'm feeling down． I think we have all used music to express our feelings， often combining （结合）it with language in the form of song lyrics．

There are many kinds of food in the world. Scientists learn a lot about them. They say that there are some kinds of food people must eat every day. For example, people must eat some green and yellow vegetables. We shouldn’t eat too much meat. People also need to eat some fruits, bread and rice. Of course our bodies need some water and milk.
Scientists say people in different countries and different places eat different kinds of food. They cook food in different ways. Different people eat at different times. In one place, people eat once or twice a day. But in another place, people eat three or four times. The scientists say when to eat and how many times to eat are not important. What we eat is the most important thing.
