Today’s message board topic: What’s your favourite music? And your favourite way to listen?

I’m into rock music. My favourite groups are Mayday Parade and Red Hot Chili
Peppers. They’re both famous American bands. I listen to music all the time
when I’m at home and when I walk to school. I don’t listen to it when
I’m in lessons, of course! I download a lot of music, but I’ve got a record
player and a collection of vinyl records, too. They’re old-fashioned, but
they’re cool. I like the ones in bright colours best! Adriano

I usually wear my headphones and listen to tracks on my mobile. I’ve

got new green headphones. They’re big, but they aren’t expensive. My
sister loves One Direction and she goes to a lot of their concerts, but
I don’t like them. She likes pop music and I prefer hip hop. The Black 8
Eyed Peas are really good, but Brazilian hip hop is the best. Jessica

I enjoy dance music and I love breakdancing. I’m not very good, but
it’s fun. I use online music sites and I watch a lot of music videos on my
phone. I copy dance moves from friends or from videos. I practise in my
room and I want to be in a video one day. My favourite track ever is Happy
by Pharrell Williams. I think the music video is great. It’s a really happy
song and I always dance when I hear it! Kolya
