Choose one of the two writing tasks below
1 Write about a Chinese or English song that you like. Try to describe the song and how it makes you feel. Explain why you like the song and what the song makes you think of.
2 We write songs to say something about ourselves and the world. If you write a song, what will you say? What will your message be? Work in pairs and try to write a song --- you can use the music of a song you already know or you can make up your own.
Music is more than just sound --- it is a way of thinking! When we listen to music, sing and dance, or play an instrument, we are also becoming better thinkers. Music intelligence is one of our eight human intelligences. We can learn language from songs and chants. Some people study better with music on!
