MAI LECKE
LISTENING TO MUSIC– ZENEHALLGATÁS
Woman:Wow. What an extensive music collection!
Man: Yes, I like a lot of different genres of music and I listen to music all the time.
Woman: When did you start collecting CDs?
Man: When I was in secondary school. I got CDs for every birthday and Christmas, and all my pocket money was spent on CDs for years.
Woman: Oh, and you have so many records. They’re so beautiful. Can I have a look?
Man: Of course. I treasure them very much. Some of them belonged to my father and I bought quite a lot at the flea market. You can buy them at a bargain price, people don’t appreciate them nowadays. Everything is available on YouTube and MP3, you know. But I prefer listening to music in the old fashioned way.
Woman: Do you have the new Adele album? She’s my favourite artist. I just got it and I like all of the tracks on it.
Man: No, I haven’t heard it yet. It’s too contemporary music for me. I usually listen to the music of the sixties. Do you have it on your MP3 player?
Woman: Yes, here, I’ve cued up the first track for you.
Man: Hmm… I like the beat of the first song, but I’m not blown away by the rest of it. Is the whole album like that?
Woman: Yes, I guess so. What’s the problem? Why don’t you like it?
Man: I like her deep voice and the music and the mixing sound cool. But her lyrics is too sophisticated for me. I couldn’t quite catch the meaning of the song.
Woman: She’s an amazing singer. But it’s true that it’s not easy to understand what she’s singing about if you hear it for the first time. Come on, let’s find a lyrics video on YouTube and let’s listen to it together. I’m sure it’ll help and you’ll change your mind.
Man: OK. Let’s do that. Internet is not really my world, but it might help. Lyrics videos are a great invention, if you want to understand the songs. Moreover, it’s a great way of brushing up your English, too.
