Task 2. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following
questions.
Teenagers love music. They, specifically, attach meaning to and take aspects of their identity from
music. This is not surprising that music holds so much meaning for today’s teens.
Music creates a much needed sense of belonging in the lives of teenagers. Teenagers are known
for feeling isolated from society and friends. Music, as an art form, can help them express the feelings of
frustration that come with feeling isolated. Listening to music can also give teens the chance to feel
connected to musicians and other fans of specific musicians.
Music is a well-known tool for stress relief. Many people actively turn to music as a coping
strategy when processing stress or sadness, because it helps shut out the noise of the world and the noise
inside our heads. Furthermore, music is increasingly being used as a form of therapy, and music therapy
has existed for centuries. Teenagers, especially those going through puberty, conflicts with friends, or the
college process, are under a high amount of stress. Listening to music has been seen to help teens process
or release difficult emotions in a healthy way.
Experiences tend to be very different depending on race or ethnicity. Music provides the
opportunity for teens of all races and ethnicities to share a common bond and learn about each other’s
cultures and backgrounds. For instance, much of the Rap and R&B genres originated in Black culture,
and many of the prominent performers and names in those genres are Black. Music is also usually very
personal to the experience of the artist, so through those things, music can be used as an educational tool
for teenagers to learn about backgrounds differing from theirs.
Music can also provide teenagers with a skill or hobby that is special to them, which can help
further build identity and give teens something to be proud of during a period of life that is often
characterized by low self-confidence. Music is an incredibly powerful tool that can be accessed and
appreciated by people of all ages and backgrounds.

Coachella is an annual music and arts festival held in the Coachella Valley of Southern California,
United States. The festival was first held in 1999 and has since become one of the largest and most
popular music festivals in the world. It is known for its diverse lineup of music genres, art installations,
and celebrity sightings. It is one of the largest, most famous, and most profitable music festivals in the
United States and the world. Most popular music magazines like rock music publish the details of the
festival a few months before the date. So, this makes it easy for people to buy the tickets on time and
know important event details.
Coachella’s lineup typically features a mix of established and up-and-coming artists from a variety
of genres, including rock, hip-hop, electronic dance music, and alternative. The festival also features art
installations, interactive experiences, and a range of food and beverage options.
In addition to the music and arts, Coachella has become known for its fashion, with attendees
often putting on bohemian-inspired outfits and accessories. The festival has also faced criticism for issues
such as overcrowding, high ticket prices, and the environmental impact of hosting such a large event in
the desert.

famous artists performing different kinds of music like pop, hip-hop and so on. I got to listen to
some bands and solo singers from all over the country. They gave exciting live performances that

SCRIPT:
Interviewer: I’m talking to Nick Parker, the singer with the band called Krispy. Nick, your sister, Mel,
plays guitar in the band too, doesn’t she?
Nick: Yeah. Mel’s a year younger than me. We’ve been playing and singing together since we
were ... eight, nine. Dad is a guitarist and took us to hear the great bands playing live. Mei
and I put on shows at school, which was a lot of fun. Mum thought we were good, but she
didn’t want us to get too serious about our music because of the hard lives professional
musicians have.
Interviewer: When did you start writing music?

lOMoARcPSD|55101079

14. Nick: I’ve been writing since I was ten. And later Mel started working with me. We didn’t have
the same influences – I liked rock music and she loved world music, especially bands from
Africa. But we found good ways of mixing the styles.
Interviewer: Your band, Krispy, has two guys and two girls in it. How was it formed?
Nick: Mel and I were playing in a concert at our college and there were two students from music
school in the audience. They came to see us after the show and asked if we’d like to form a
band with them. We weren’t sure at first because we were much younger than them. But
we agreed to try it out, and it was brilliant.
Interviewer: You’ve been together a few years now and you’re one of the top bands. What’s that like?
Nick: Hard work. We travel to concerts all round the world and are never in one place for more
than a few nights. The others are like an older brother and sister to me and Mel, which is
good. They help us relax on our days off, and make sure we eat well. They’re strict about
practising, too.
Interviewer: Have you had any disappointments?
Nick: Everything we’ve recorded has done well. Three singles have gone to number one, and our
first album has sold over a million copies. Our second album was due out this winter, but
I’ve been ill recently so we’ve started recording late, which is a pity. But for the rest,
everything’s fine.
Task 2. Listen to a conversation between a boy, John, and a girl, Louise and decide if the following
statements are true (T) or false (F). You can listen to the recording TWICE.
______F________ 1. John hopes to keep his singing lessons a secret.
______T________ 2. John says he has had singing lessons before.
______T________ 3. John and Louise agree that the teacher is strict.
______F________ 4. John has always liked musical shows.
______T________ 5. John was pleased with the practice show.
______F________ 6. Louise would like to dance in a musical show.
SCRIPT:
John: Oh Louise. Hi.
Louise: I’ve just arrived for my singing lesson with Mrs Thompson. What are you doing here?
John: I’ve come for a singing lesson, too.
Louise: Well, if it’s a secret, I won’t tell anyone.
John: It’s OK. Louise, I’m going to be in a musical show, so everyone will know soon.
Louise: Really! But can you actually sing then?
John: Well, I was taught to sing at school you know, but now I’m in the show. I thought I’d better have
a few more lessons.
Louise: Good idea! What do you think of Mrs Thompson? She’s really strict, isn’t she?
John: She is, but I think if you want to sing properly, then she’s the best teacher. You don’t have to like
her to see that she’s really brilliant.
Louise: Oh, I suppose so, it’s just that she makes me feel so nervous. How did you get chosen for the
show?
John: Well, I went to see a few musical shows before Christmas. I don’t know why, because I’d never
really liked them before, and I thought I’d like to do that so I tried for a part in the show at The ;
Regent Theatre and got it.
Louise: Well done ... So have you actually done a show yet?
John: Yes, we’ve done a practice show just for family and friends.
Louise: So, how did you feel?
John: Well, when we’d finished, I wanted to cry because I was so delighted that I’d actually got through
it without making any big mistakes.
Louise: But did people like it?

15. John: Yes they did, and it was great to have an audience.
Louise: I would love to be able to sing and have everybody listen and clap.
John: It’s quite hard to do a musical show, actually. You have to dance as well as sing. It’s hard work to
get it right.
Louise: Oh, I wouldn’t be keen on that. I’m only a singer really. When does the show open?
John: On the 9

of October. Would you like a couple of free tickets?
Louise: Oh yes! Thanks!
VII. SPEAKING
Task 1. Answer the following questions.
1. Do you like listening to music?
I am fond of listening to music for various reasons. First of all, music can be a good
source of relaxation and entertainment. It makes me feel relaxed after a long day at school.
Besides, I often listen to some soft music before bedtime to fall asleep more easily. Moreover,
music helps me connect with others who share the same interests in types of music and artists.
Tôi thích nghe nh
ạc vì nhiều lý do. Thứ nhất, âm nhạc có thể là một nguồn thư giãn và giải trí
tốt. Nó làm cho tôi cảm thấy thư giãn sau một ngày dài ở trường. Bên c
ạnh đó, tôi thường nghe một
vài bản nh
ạc nhẹ trước khi đi ngủ để dễ ngủ hơn. Hơn nữa, âm nhạc giúp tôi kết nối với những người
có cùng sở thích về thể lo
ại âm nhạc và nghệ sĩ.
2. What kind of music do you often listen to?
My favourite type of music is country music. Country music has catchy lyrics and soft
melodies. It helps feel peaceful and relaxed whenever I listen to it. Besides, country songs touch
my heart because they often tell stories about familiar topics like love and everyday life. Also, I
can relate my experience to stories behind the songs.
Thể lo
ại nhạc yêu thích của tôi là nhạc đồng quê. Nhạc đồng quê có ca từ bắt tai và giai điệu
nhẹ nhàng. Nó giúp tôi cảm thấy yên bình và thư thái mỗi khi nghe nó. Bên c
ạnh đó, những bài hát
đồng quê cũng ch
ạm đến trái tim tôi vì chúng thường kể những câu chuyện về những chủ đề quen
thuộc như tình yêu và cuộc sống đời thường. Ngoài ra, tôi có thể liên hệ trải nghiệm của mình với
những câu chuyện đằng sau các bài hát.
Task 2. Talk about a TV music show in 2-3 minutes.
- What is the music show?
- Which channel is it on?
- What is it about?
- Why do you like it?
I am going to talk about my favourite TV music show which is The Voice of Viet Nam. It is a
singing competition that was first shown on VTV3 channel in July, 2012. The show is very popular
because of the famous coaches and the way they choose contestants. It is different from other music
shows because of the first stage called the blind audition. At this stage, the coaches listen to the
contestants’ voices without seeing them and then choose the ones to go on to the next stages. The
show focuses on talent more than appearance. This makes it unique and attracts many viewers.
Besides, the coaches are famous Vietnamese singers and composers who are funny and supportive to
the young singers. I also like this show very much because I can enjoy nice songs and powerful voices.
In short, the show is very interesting and relaxing to watch. 
Tôi sẽ nói về chương trình âm nh
ạc trên truyền hình yêu thích của tôi đó là Giọng hát Việt. Nó
là cuộc thi hát được phát sóng lần đầu tiên trên kênh VTV3 vào tháng 7/2012. Chương trình rất được
yêu thích bởi dàn huấn luyện viên nổi tiếng và cách h
ọ chọn thí sinh. Nó khác với các chương trình âm
nh
ạc khác vì có vòng đầu tiên được gọi là vòng giấu mặt. Ở vòng này, các huấn luyện viên lắng nghe

16. gi
ọng hát của các thí sinh mà không nhìn thấy họ và sau đó chọn ra những người đi tiếp vào các vòng
tiếp theo. Chương trình tập trung vào tài năng hơn là ngo
ại hình. Điều này làm cho nó trở nên độc
đáo và thu hút nhiều người xem. Bên c
ạnh đó, dàn huấn luyện viên là những ca sĩ, nhạc sĩ nổi tiếng
của Việt Nam, h
ọ rất vui tính và hỗ trợ hết mình cho các ca sĩ trẻ. Tôi cũng rất thích chương trình này
vì tôi có thể thưởng thức những bài hát hay và gi
ọng hát đầy nội lực. Nói tóm lại, chương trình này rất
thú vị và giải trí.

Nha Nhac, meaning “elegant music”, refers to a wide range of musical and dance styles performed
at the Vietnamese royal court from the fifteenth to the mid-twentieth century. Nha Nhac was generally
performed at the opening and closing of ceremonies associated with anniversaries, religious holidays,
funerals and so on. Among the numerous musical genres that developed in Viet Nam, only Nha Nhac is
popular on a nationwide scale and has strong links with the traditions of other East Asian countries.
During Nha Nhac performances, there were numerous singers, dancers and musicians dressed in gorgeous
costumes. Large-scale orchestras included a drum section and many other types of instruments like wind
and string instruments. All performers had to maintain a high level of concentration because they were
expected to follow each step of the ritual carefully.
Nha Nhac developed during the Le Dynasty (1427-1788) and reached the peak under the Nguyen
Dynasty (1802-1945). As a symbol of the dynasty’s power and longevity, Nha Nhac became an essential
part of the court’s many ceremonies. However, the role of Nha Nhac was not limited to musical
accompaniment for court rituals: it also provided a means of communicating with and showing respect to
the gods and kings as well as providing knowledge about nature and the universe.
The fall of the monarchy and the decades of war in 20
th
century seriously threatened the survival
of Nha Nhac and made this musical tradition lose its original function. However, the few surviving
former court musicians continue to work to keep the tradition alive. Certain forms of Nha Nhac have been
maintained in popular rituals and religious ceremonies and become a source of inspiration for
contemporary Vietnamese music.

It is commonly believed that music feeds the soul because it soothes your soul and relaxes your
mind. Music has always been the best source for expressing your feelings and emotions and telling
stories. Among all the popular genres of music, pop music has become the most popular one since it was
first introduced. The word ‘Pop’ itself is derived from ‘popular’. It was named so because it became so
popular right after its introduction.
Pop, as a separate genre, consists of simple patterns and rhythms. It is proved that the human brain
likes patterns, and the patterns that are easy to remember are more likeable than the difficult ones.
Patterns make the music more attractive and engaging, and easy and simple patterns are easy to pick,
which is why our brain likes them more. Additionally, patterns add to the rhythm of the song and its
music. Rhythms make us sing along and dance with the lyrics and beats of the music. Also, pop music
usually repeats its patterns, rhythms, and lyrics as well because most of the songs have the same themes
and topics. All this makes pop a popular genre among all.
It has been found that pop music is usually louder than the songs of other genres. It is believed
that the volume of these songs is kept louder than others on purpose. Pop songs sound louder than others
even if played on the same volume. Louder songs get the attention of people more easily and quickly as
sounds become catchier to the listeners. The louder and catchier a song is; the more attention it gets from
the audience. As more and more people listen to a song, its popularity increases. To conclude, the louder
you sound, the more you’re heard.
