TOEFL® essay: People listen to music for different reasons and at different times

[Mirka24]

People listen to music for different reasons and at different times. Why is music important to many people? Use specific reasons and examples to support your choice.

Obviously, music belongs to everyone’s favorite things in the world. Some people like listening to it, others actually creating it.
Many artists express through the music their feelings, emotions and thoughts.
By listening to the music you can escape to different world or build your own one. There is many ways, I can not even think of, music helps to satisfy the needs of humans. Hearing specific music can help people to remember meaningful times from the past. Sharing music with others and talking about “old times” with a supportive listener can reduce feelings of isolation.
It fills us from inside, helps us to heal, listen and understand. A lot of conversations start with the question, “What kind of music do you like?” It might give you an idea about a personality of person. I think, it is easier to talk about something you like then try to explain who you are.
We listen to the music all the time, whenever you are happy or sad, alone or with the group of friends, active or just relaxed. These soft tones of pleasure make life complete and unique.
