What do you do to relax? Do you watch TV? Do you read a book? Or do you listen to music? How many of us play a musical instrument (樂(lè)器) ? How many of us go to concerts? How important is music in our lives? What kind of music do we like?

The survey (調(diào)查) shows the musical habits of some of our readers. Interestingly, fourteen people out of the twenty questioned play a musical instrument, while only six people don't. Out of these, ten people practice their musical instruments between 0- 3 hours a week and the other four between three and six hours a week.

The best instrument to play is the guitar. Eight people say it is their favorite instrument to play. Another four people like playing the piano and two like playing the violin. Two people, however, don't like playing the violin or the piano as they think they are too difficult.

Pop concerts are always popular but, in this survey only eight people say they like going to concerts, six to pop concerts and two to jazz concerts.

A higher number, eighteen, say they like listening to music as they find it relaxing. Only two people don't like listening to music at all. These results seem to suggest that we are more actively musical than we think.

Students carry their own things which include sleeping bags, warm clothing, food and water, and other useful tools. And what do the students do all day? Well, as soon as the sun comes up, they eat breakfast and start climbing up the mountain trail（小路）to the next campground, which is five to ten miles away. The students take notes when the guide points out different plants and animals alongside the trail.

How are you? You ask me about my favorite subjects. I think math and geography are my favorite subjects. They are interesting and helpful. Our last class finishes at half past three. Do you think it's late or early? We have lots of after-school activities. For me,I like going to the sports club with my classmates. At about a quarter to five, I go home. On school days, I never watch TV, because I'm busy. I usually do my homework first after getting home. It usually takes me about an hour. Then I have dinner with my parents at about six o'clock. I always take a shower and go to bed at half past eight. But I'm always free on weekends. So I can either go to the library or clean rooms with my parents. Sometimes we play tennis on Saturday. I have a happy life. What about you?

Yours,

Karl
