When we talk about music, we can think of different kinds of it. Some people like pop music very much, but it often comes and goes so quickly. It shows our deep feelings of love, hate, joy and sadness in daily life, so it is quite popular among young people.

However, classical music is not so lucky among young people though it’s the symbol of high music level. We know that classical music is serious music, so some people can’t understand its real meaning. That’s why it’s not popular among youngsters.

In fact, folk music is different from other music forms.It’s more traditional than entertainment (娱乐). In American history, fork music began to show up when people needed it most.The earliest folk songs were those like “Down by the Riverside”, “We Shall over come” etc. Yhese are songs about hard life, but they are also full of hopes. Anyway(无论如何)， anybody can understand folk music and it also welcomes everyone to join.

What do you think of different kinds of reference books(参考书)? We did a survey. Here’re some of their answers.

Liu Yang: In some ways, reference books(参考书) are useful. They help us understand textbooks better. For example, if we can’t learn a language point well in English class, a reference book can help us to review the point. So I think it’s better to have such books.

Wang Qian: Reference books have some disadvantages. Some of them show answers to the exercises in textbooks(课本). This isn’t very good. Students will just copy the answers instead of thinking for themselves. Day after day, students won’t listen carefully in class.

Zheng Xia: Sometimes, reference books are useful. Some reference books show something a little more difficult than the textbooks. They challenge us and let us reach a higher level in our studies. So if you want to learn more, reference books are needed.

Liu Wei: I don’t think reference books are very helpful. If we listen to our teachers carefully and solve the problems at school, this is helpful enough. Besides, the school has already gives us a lot of homework. More reference books will only make us sick of studying. And for some subjects like English, the best way is to speak, not just to do exercises.
