Music is different from songs. Songs express feelings with lyrics, but music with tones (音调).Unlike songs, music tones in themselves have no specific meanings. Different people may get different things from the same musical performance. Though some music works are difficult to understand, people need music in their daily life because it brings fun to them. Different people like different music: some love classical music, and others take an interest in pop music. Most young people like pop music.

Pop music began in the USA and became popular around the world during the 1950s and 1960s.The best-known early kind of pop music was “rock and roll”. Pop music has taken the place of native music in many parts of the world. It has caused the number of people for “jazz” music to become much smaller than in the 1950s and earlier and it has now begun to become the most popular. Much pop music is without artistic value (价值), but the works of some pop singers such as the Beatles, Bob Dylan, the groups like Pink Floyd and Crosby are excellent. And there is still great interest in it today. Pop music concerts and festivals are held all over the world.

I used to skate a lot. With every Olympic song, I found an excitement growing inside me when I was first to skate at the age of five. But, unluckily, I was badly hurt in a match. I quickly stopped my skating. Smiling, my husband just said, “Skating is your passion (酷爱)，but of course we can stay at home.”

It was crazy, I know, that a thirty-seven-year-old mother of two children wanted to skate under disco ball lights after 10 years. I found the excitement growing inside me. I loved to skate. So I was out there having the time of my life，listening to the music with a smile on my face and heart. I hoped I could skate again.

I belonged here. It was so right to be back on the ice.

“Did you use to be a skater？”A little girl looked up at me with questioning eyes. Taking time to give my answer，I looked around the rink (溜冰场)，where I could see so many years of lessons，Olympic dreams，and a love of the ice would never die. “No，”I answered，“I'm a skater.” With a smile，I glided away.

Skating had finally turned me into a champion——a winner of a lifelong passion for favorite sport.
