Hello, I'm Linda. Here I will tell you something about my parents. My mother is a(n) woman. She is always able to deal with difficult problems or situations in our everyday life. She is also a good singer and she is good at writing . My father is a music lover, too. He often listens to music. But he country music because it often his sweet memories. I can also say my father is a superhero. Why?

    Let me share his story. Last Tuesday, Dad volunteered to clean the park as usual. Suddenly, he a woman crying for help. He ran up to see what happened. The woman's 15-month-old baby girl choked (窒息) on a small piece of pear. She was in a(n) situation. Her face turned purple. What a(n) that the baby was too young to save herself. The mother was nervous and she didn't know what to do. I saw Dad take the baby in his arms. He held the baby upside down (颠倒) and gave her a few pats (轻拍) on the back. After a short while, he in getting the piece of pear out of her mouth. The mom was thankful and people nearby all Dad because the baby was saved. What a great superhero! I look up to him a lot.

    How important is music? Many people usually think that listening to music is nice but not very important. It is often only thought to be entertainment, but not the first choice for education. This opinion is wrong.

    Music reflects the musicians' thoughts and ideas, and the social environment they came from. For example, just as Mozart's music represents a lifestyle and rock music also represents a lifestyle. George Gershwin's music is another example. He introduced jazz style into his music.

    Science explains how the sun rises and sets. Music explores emotional (情绪) meanings, such as sadness and happiness. People need every possible way to learn about our world.

    It's a special language. We can "talk" to each other and exchange our thoughts in this amazing way. Through the language we express our feelings, discoveries, ideas and hopes. All of these can be shared with others. When we do not let our children receive a good music education, we take them away from the meaning that music expresses. Our children are lacking in a wonderful part in their lives.
