音乐其实对我们的影响还是蛮大的，在培养人这个问题上音乐一般是手段，其实也是一个目的。

雅思口语关于音乐话题：

1. Do you like music?

If I said I "like" music, that would be the biggest understatement ever. I love it, not any particular genre, a bit of everything. Music is the expression of human thoughts and the soul of human society.

　　如果我说我喜欢音乐,那是最保守的表达。我爱它，没有特别的种类，所有都喜欢。音乐是人类思想的表达，人类社会的灵魂。

2. What's your favourite kind of music?

I am a rock buff. Actually I like all kinds of rock. Just name a few: metal core, industrial metal, classic rock and melodic death metal. My favorite band is Oasis. They help me get through my tough time.

　　我是个摇滚迷。我喜欢各种摇滚。我说一些吧：硬核金属、工业金属、经典摇滚、旋律死亡金属。我最喜欢的乐队是绿洲乐队。他们帮我度过了最难熬的那段时光。

3. Have you ever learned to play a musical instrument?

No, I think. I did try to learn guitar when I was in middle school. But I gave up when I had my thumb swollen and had blisters all over.

　　没有。中学的时候我试着学过吉他，但后来大拇指都肿了手上全是泡，我就放弃了。

4. Which instrument would you prefer to study - the piano or the violin?

I love them both equally but I would learn piano first, first of all, it’s a lot easier starting off, and secondly, it’s a great jumping off point to learn other instruments.

　　我两种都喜欢但我会先学钢琴。首先，钢琴容易上手，而且，这是学其他乐器的跳板。

5. Do you think it's important for children to learn (to play) a musical instrument?

I believe it is important. I think that learning to play an instrument teaches kids important things: comprehension, perseverance, discipline, a sense of pride. With music, they will also learn how to appreciate life.

　　我觉得重要。我认为学习乐器可以让孩子学会很多东西：理解能力、毅力、自律、自豪感。学音乐，他们可以学会如何感激生活。
