Music dialogue
Jane met Linda on the bus. Jane is listening to her I-pod.
L: (waves her hand) HI, Jane, how is everything?
J: (takes off her headphone) Hi, Linda. How are you?
L: I am fine. How about you?
J: I am fine, too. Where are you going?
Linda: I am going to the bookstore to see if I could pick up some good books there. You were listening to your I-Pod just now.
J: Yeah, I love music. Music is my life. And I love this I-pod to death. It is like I am carrying a music library where I go.
L: Oh yeah? Tell me your favorite singers.
J: quite a lot. I like Backstreet boys, Britney Spear, Justin Timberlake, and Beyonce and so on. How about you?
L: I like old songs. I like love songs. Those songs cloud last forever.
J: Name some good songs, please.
L: Simon & Garfunkel, you know these two songs” The Sound of Silence”, “ El Condor Pasa”?
J: yeah, very good.
L: I like Bee gees, too. Too bad one of the brothers died two years ago. I don’t think we could find another band like this one.
J: How about U2? It is very popular.
L: Right. Some of their songs are easy listening. But some are heavy metal which I don’t like. I prefer soft rocks.
J: It’s great that we both love music. . I don’t know if anyone could live without music.
L: I agree with you... When I am down, music cheers me up. When I am lost, music guides me through. When I am tired, music soothes me gently. When I am weak, music lifts me up.
J: Music is our world.
Linda, I have to get off now. It seems we could keep this topic on and on.
L:Maybe we should meet on a nice weekend and we will just talk about music all day. Does that sound good?
J: Absolutely. I will call you. Bye!
L: Bye! Have a good day!
J: You, too.
