Music
There are two important kinds of music in the world --one is written down and the other is not. Many people earn their living by writing music. They write songs for popstars and music for films and TV plays. They usually write exact instructions how the music is to be played.
Folk music has been passed down from one goneration to another. At first it was never written down. Pe ple learnt the songs from their families, relatives, neighbours and friends in the same village. These songs were about country life, the seasons, animals and plants, and about love and sadness in people's lives.
Early performers of music were popular and respected.They used to learn hundreds of songs by heart. On festivals they used to act and sing in praise of heroes who lived long ago. This was at a time when there was no radio, TV or cinema. Many of the country people could neither read nor write. In this way stories were passed on from one person to another. This continues in some countries even today.
In some parts of the world nowadays, you often see musicians performing in the streets to passers-by. They put a cap on the ground in front of them, so that people who like the music can drop coins into it.
[點(diǎn)評(píng)]
文章對(duì)音樂(lè)的種類(lèi)以及流傳方式作了描述。后兩段實(shí)際上主要講述音樂(lè)人的情況，似乎多少有些不切主題——音樂(lè)本身。此文可作為參考資料。

音樂(lè)
世界上的音樂(lè)有兩大類(lèi)——一類(lèi)是寫(xiě)下來(lái)的，另一類(lèi)是沒(méi)有寫(xiě)下來(lái)的。許多人靠寫(xiě)詞作曲來(lái)謀生。他們給通俗歌星創(chuàng)作歌曲，為電影和電視節(jié)目作曲。他們通常還要為如何演奏他們的音樂(lè)寫(xiě)出精確的說(shuō)明。
民間音樂(lè)是一代一代地流傳下來(lái)的。起初從來(lái)沒(méi)有人把它寫(xiě)下來(lái)過(guò)。人們是從家人、親戚、村里的鄰居或朋友那里學(xué)會(huì)唱這些歌的。歌詞內(nèi)容是有關(guān)鄉(xiāng)村生活、季節(jié)、動(dòng)植物以及人的生活中的愛(ài)情與憂(yōu)傷。
早期的音樂(lè)演奏家們是深受人們歡迎和愛(ài)戴的。他們牢記幾百首歌曲。在節(jié)日里他們表演并歌頌很久以前的英雄。這是廣播、電視或電影出現(xiàn)以前的情形。當(dāng)時(shí)許多鄉(xiāng)里人不識(shí)字，也不會(huì)寫(xiě)字。故事就是用這種方式流傳下來(lái)的。即使今天，有些國(guó)家里還存在這種情況。
現(xiàn)在世界上有些地區(qū)，你還可以經(jīng)常看到音樂(lè)家在街頭為行人演奏。他們把帽子放在身前的地上，以便喜歡這種音樂(lè)的人能把硬幣投到帽子里。
