Music is the medicine of the mind
Once I felt anxious and stressed because I couldn't make it in my study.Then I listened to a song of Mr Chou.Later, I became well.
It's well known that good music can make a person who has bad feelings get better.One can actually listen to good music and feel good because good music touches the human mind in a positive way.Music helps us forget the life events that make us worried and remember the important happy events that once happened in our life.Music is the medicine of our mind.
I hope everyone can get benefits from music.

Dear Smith,
I am deeply sorry to know that your brother's brain was injured and I highly recommend that you try melodic intonation therapy.Here is how it works.
The therapist asks the patients to sing a short sentence using a melody that copies the natural intonation of the phrase.Gradually, they move on to saying the sentence with a sing-song intonation, and then speaking the sentence.
Music is relaxing, uplifting, fun and can stimulate our brains to create new connections and pathways.Hope your brother will recover soon.
Yours,
Li Hua

Dear John,
I am so delighted to receive your letter asking about my preference for music.Personally, I am in favor of the music with lots of repetitions and the reasons can be listed as follows.
On the one hand, repetition invites me into music as imagined participants,rather than as passive listeners.Repetition gives rise to a kind of trend, where I'm listening along with the sound, engaging imaginatively with the note about to happen.On the other hand, as a listener, I shift my attention across musical repetitions, focusing on different aspects of the sound on each new listen.I might notice the melody of a phrase the first time, but when it's repeated, my attention shifts to how the guitarist bends a pitch.
Repetition, far from an embarrassment, is actually a key feature that gives rise to the kind of experience we think about as musical.That is the reason why I like it.How about you? I'm looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

A meaningful activity
Last Saturday, our class participated in a plastic garbage picking event to raise awareness about environmental protection and clean our community.
Equipped with gloves and bags, we split into groups and diligently searched for litter in residential areas.Though challenging, our determination to make a difference motivated us.After hours of work, we collected a significant amount of plastic garbage.The sight was shocking, revealing the urgency of addressing plastic pollution.When reflecting on the activity, we not only felt accomplished, but also recognized the power of small actions.
This activity taught us responsibility,collective action, and the importance of protecting our planet.It was a meaningful and eye-opening event which inspired us to make a positive impact.

Music inspires me
Good afternoon,ladies and gentlemen,
My name is Li Hua.When I was 11 years old, I found it difficult to stay concentrated.Then my mom introduced me to a piano teacher.The moment I touched the keys, I was attracted by the beautiful sound they produced.Since then, I have been on the way to playing the piano.
So marvellous is the experience.Learning to read sheet music and play different notes and rhythms improved my concentration and attention to details.Meanwhile, it also improved my memory and problem-solving skills.
Busy as I am now, I still spare some time to play the piano, which is incredibly fulfilling.
Thank you for your listening!

Paragraph 1:
The next day we remembered the brandnew tent we had brought with us.But then we were half an hour away from the hotel,where the tent was left behind.Dad recommended buying a new one, while Mom insisted on our going back to fetch it, saying,“Forgetful people like me may lose things repeatedly, so it's unwise to give up the tent.” Finally, we got back to the tent and hit the road again.If Mom hadn't been that absent-minded, it would have saved us the trouble of going back again and again.
Paragraph 2:
We drove through several states and saw lots of great sights along the way.One day, towards evening, we found a great campsite at the foot of a high mountain.David and I helped Dad put up the tent,and Mom was busy preparing supper.When the setting sun cast an orange light over the mountains, the tent was set up and the meal was ready.Sitting around the campfire, we talked and laughed.Every time we mentioned the funny incidents of the journey, a pleasant smile would spread over Mom's face.

Hello,everyone.Today I am very glad to have the opportunity to make this presentation.I shall be speaking about“Music and life”.
As we all know, music plays an important role in our daily life.It enables us to feel relaxed both mentally and physically,giving us energy.When I'm in trouble,music can lift up my spirits and inspire me to overcome difficulties.Traditional Chinese music is my favourite, which sounds peaceful and touches my soul.Every time I feel tired or anxious, classical music helps me calm down.
I hope all of you will somehow begin to treasure good music and make it part of your life.
Thank you!

Paragraph 1:
I heard a roaring sound of my car hitting the tree.The white airbag hit Mike violently.His body flew back in the seat like a rag doll.My body was thrown forward, meeting the seat belt I was thankfully wearing.The window was broken, and the passenger door was destroyed.The feeling of guilt overwhelmed me.It was all my fault.I put Mike's life in danger.I wish I could go back and avoid putting my friend's life at risk.
Paragraph 2:
Fortunately enough,Mike and I were not seriously injured.It made me feel more relaxed that people who witnessed the accident ran to us and sent us to the hospital immediately.We both recovered soon, but my heart was heavy for a long time after the incident, from which I learned to cherish life.From then on, I drove carefully and obeyed the traffic rules.After all,nothing is more precious than life.
