Let the music play!!!

 Following a suggestion from one of my best pupils, on this post I want you to write about the music you like and the music you don't like!! 

Which singers do you like? Do you listen to Billie Eilish or to Marshmello? English or Spanish music?

Do you think music in English is better than music in other languages?

Did your parents listen to English or American singers or bands? Which ones? Do you listen to them?

Do you like them too?

How do you listen to music?

Do you listen to music on the radio? Do you buy music?
Do you play an instrument? Do you play in a band? Are you a song-writer?

And anything else you would like to say about music or singers!

You can answer some of these questions or just one or two of them. As long as you want, all contributions are welcome.

Second Assignment
