主題語(yǔ)境：音樂(lè) 篇幅：326詞 建議用時(shí)：6分鐘

1Music is like a friend I can always count on, showing me the way and making me feel good.When I was a little girl, it would help me fall asleep with calm songs.As I grew up,the tunes my mom and dad loved filled our house, getting me to like old hits and learn about new ones.

2In my teen years, music understood me better than anyone else.It matched my feelings, and singers sang songs like they were speaking right to me.Going to live shows was the best—it was as if I was in a whole new world.Music didn't just sound nice; it was a part of me, helping me and cheering me up.

3When I got to college, music was my study buddy.It taught me people and places far away.It showed me that no matter where we're from, we're all pretty similar.Songs can say things that are hard to explain with just words.

4Making playlists became my way of keeping track of my life.Every tune was like a memory or a feeling saved in a list.I learned how different beats could make me energetic and happy or calm and comforted.

5Now that I'm older, music is my escape after hard days.It gets my ideas going, lifts my mood, and sets the vibe for date nights.It makes my daily travels exciting and parties even more fun.

6Sharing songs with my friends makes them even more special.Whether we're guessing song names, trading our favorite tracks, or just playing music while we eat, it always makes things better.

7Music stays with me, like a background song for every up and down in life.It's more than just sounds and words—it gives me life.In a noisy world, music is a place of peace and the way I say things that are hard to put into words.For me, music feels like home.
