  1. I like this reading text because music is of high importance for people.At first,there are not a lot of musical instruments in the world.After that,some musical instruments were developed by people.Music must be important because it repeats over and over i think if people sing a song,people were happy and energetic .According to a research,eighty percent of people teach their children sing a song when the children are between the ages of 0-6 to be happy for them.People do that because singing a song has many benefits for them.These benefits are very important concepts of people's lives.I think,all poeple should listen to music.Secondly,i learned music effective.For instance,when you listen to music ,your brain releases chemicals that affect your emotions.Music can make you feel different mood.Such as,happy,sad,excited,relaxed etc.On the other hand,as far as i know there is onem ore benefit of singing a son which is living longer and healthily.Most of the people think that doing regular exercises is the most important concepts for human brain.However,they are mistaken because the scientists have proven that singing a song is more effective in human brain than the other factors.Also,the scientists say that people who sing a song do not become"Alzheimer".Thus,if people sing a song,they can live longer and healthily.What i mean is that people should not avoid singing a song.Thirdly,the overall message of the text is change the music business.Since the beginning of time,people have always wanted to listen music but in the early 1900s,it became possible to store music so that people could listen to it over and over again but it is not possible.Only,they could listen to this music on the radio.After that,the system of music business was developed.Such as,a cassette tape,a compact disc etc.In about 2000,CD sales began to fall,and the sale of music in electronic cost of CDs are about 8-10 turkish liras per person in my country.Also,i should say that it is reasonable cost.Many people have good opportunities here,there are better conditions.I can say that it is a very well-known fact that music is vital for people.

  3. First paragraph, music is one of the important things in our lives because music helps to people's problems,helps to heal diseases and helps to brain development.Therefore music is a part of our lives.People have got a lot of stress in our life but doctors found a way to reduce stress.This way to relieve stress,to relieve pain and helps people work a lot.So music is important for our life.
    Second paragraph, about the effect of music in our lives.If you are a sad,you will listen arabesque music but if you are a happy,you will like listen to favourite music.For example, I heart people were effected by music played in stores.These music allows to make shopping more people.I think these is the best example.Some people think that music reduces crime and I agree with them.As a result,music affect the people's behaviour.
    Third paragraph, about the business of music.The music entered business life about 100 years ago.Artists have been releasing the cassette.At that time the internet was not prevalent.Therefore, Everyone was taking tape.However,nowadays people prefer to download from the internet because it is faster and cheaper.The music business will continue to change with technology.For example; CDs.I think it is one of the best inventions because human's life easier like internet.Copy music is a crime in every country but many countries do not control.So,music does not see te value of its worthy.

İt is both portable and smaller than radio.Nowadays we use ipod and mp3 player for listening music.In the past music business sales cd and only it had on the music shopping .Singers let remove album means that all songs of singer.Constantly customers had to buy albums but now everybody is both listen music and download it from the internet.So all music business found a new way from solving this problem.They want to find new music sites and customers can download music on the mobile phone and computer.Music companies and musicians against problem became success In the future,music business will change with new technology.
