[speaker001:] What kind of music do you like listening to?
[speaker002:] I like music that has a fast beat and is lively, like dance music. You know, I go to a disco almost every week. Sometimes it's too loud though. You prefer classical music, don 't you?
[speaker001:] Yes, I do. I find it very relaxing. I often listen to Mozart or Bach in the evening after a hard day at work.
[speaker002:] I must admit that I like several pieces of classical music. It 's certainly more sophisticated that modern dance music.
[speaker001:] Classical music is supposed to be good for you brain. Research suggest that it makes your brain more active. Students who listen to classical music while studying perform better.
[speaker002:] Really? Perhaps I should listen to classical music often. I heard that listening to classical music is helpful in reducing stress.
[speaker001:] Yes. That 's why I listen to it in the evenings. I usually play it as background music while I 'm cooking or doing other housework.
[speaker002:] I 'Ve got a few classical music CD 's. I should follow your lead and increase my brian power.
[speaker001:] You can find plenty of recording on the internet too. You can listen to samples and then buy them very cheaply if you like them.
[speaker002:] That 's a good idea. You should do the same with some music. You might find something you like. Classical music might make you clever, but dance might make you livelier and happier.
[speaker001:] That 's true. There 's clear evidence that people who listen to lively music are lively people. Music can influence a person 's feeling and character.
