Music can influence our emotions, thoughts and behavior to a great degree. It can make us sad or happy, relaxed or full of energy.
Slow music calms people. Ballads and some forms of classical music often create a peaceful atmosphere that is good for relaxing after a busy day. If the music is slowed below 50 beats per minutes, it can create an atmosphere of sadness. This kind of slow music can be found in many types of music, such as jazz and blues. Many people listen to slow music. It suits their mood when they are alone at night.
Faster music, such as rock, heavy metal and dance music, tends to give us energy and makes us feel full of life. This type of music is often played at sporting events to stir up the fans and the teams.
Rock, pop music and rap are played at parties. They can provide energy to the gathering. Since most rock, pop and rap songs are easy to listen to, they are suitable for parties. Rock music is sometimes used to accompany physical labor. Its heavy fast tempo speeds up the heart, and one almost works in time to the music, making the work more enjoyable.
Some people think that rock music can cause road accidents. Drivers could become excited by the speed of the music and drive too fast. But there are so many things to distract a driver?s attention that it does not make sense to blame rock music.

The Origin of the Song “Happy Birthday to You”
The story of the song “Happy Birthday to You” Began as a sweet one, but later became bitter. Two sisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at a kindergarten, and Dr. Patty Hill, the principal of the same school, wrote a song for the children, entitled “Good Morning to All”. When Mildred combined her musical talents with her sister?s knowledge in the area of kindergarten
education, ?Good Morning to All” was sure to be a success. The sister
published the song in a collection entitled “Song Stories of the Kindergarten” in 1893. Thirty-one years later, after Dr. Patty Hill became the head of the Department of Kindergarten Education at Columbia University?s Teachers College, a gentleman by the name Robert Coleman published the song, without the sisters? permission. He added a second part, which is the familiar “Happy Birthday to You”. Mr. Coleman?s addition of the second part made the song popular and, finally, the sisters” original first part disappeared. “Happy Birthday to You” had altogether replaced the sisters? original song “Good Morning to All”. In 1916 Patty took legal action against Mr. Coleman. In court, she succeeded in proving that they were the real owners of the song.

VI. Further Listening and Speaking Task 1: Thank You for the Music I?m nothing special, in fact I?m a bit of a bore If I tell a joke, you?re probably heard it before But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
’Cause everyone listens when I start to sing I?m so grateful and proud All I want is to sing it out loud So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I?m singing Thanks for all the joy they?re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honestly What would life be
Without a song or a dance what are we So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me
