Learning to play an instrument in the right way can be one of the most satisfying and exciting ways to spend your free time. With the right dedication and hard training,you can learn to play any style of sound,any kind of instrument,and start speaking the language of music.

   In elementary schools,children often learn to play instruments such as keyboards or recorders,sing in small choirs,and learn about the elements of musical sound and history of music. Although music education in many nations has traditionally emphasized Western classical music,in recent decades music educators tend to incorporate a sampling of the worlds musical cultures to give a well-rounded musical experience and teach multiculturalism and international understanding.

   In secondary schools,students may often have the opportunity to perform in some type of musical program,such as a choir (唱詩(shī)班) ，a school band,a concert band,a marching band,or a jazz band. In some secondary schools,music classes may also be available. In junior high school,music usually continues to be a required part of the course.

   At the university level,students in most arts and humanities programs may receive academic credit for taking music courses,which typically take the form of an overview course on the history of music,or a music appreciation course that focuses on listening to music and learning about different musical styles.

   You never know these people who may be a classmate,a neighbour or a friend一but when you lock your eyes on them,you know at that very moment they will influence your life in some ways.

   Sometimes things that happen to you may seem unpleasant,painful,or frustrating at first. But in another way,you find that without getting over those difficulties you would have never realized your ability,strength or will power (意志力) .

   Work hours are different from one country to another. In France,people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan,however,people work about 2,159 hours a year. That means a Japanese worker works 513 more hours a year than a French worker.
