The music is a little show. When I listen to it, it will remind of many old things. So I like it very much. What is your favorite music? And why do you like it?

Here are the pictures for them. Listen to them carefully and choose the proper picture for each of them.2) Guide the Ss to sum up the Characteristics for each music style.Information Box: Knowledge about music Punk Rock這種音樂較另類，比較迷幻，也很吵，歌詞一般都很頹廢，很低迷，很多地下樂隊都是這種風格，所以才不被承認，不過要表達的內涵還是很豐富的。 Jazz Music 爵士音樂，長盛不衰的美國音樂在酒吧常常可以聽到，讓人感覺韻味無窮。 Rock ’n’ roll 搖滾音樂，主要由強勁的吉他貝司和鼓演奏出來的，讓人熱血沸騰的音樂。 Classical Music 作為人類優秀的文化遺產，古典音樂普遍被認為是高層次的音樂風格，具有無法替代的地位。 Pop music 流行音樂，其實也是市場上所謂的大眾化的主流音樂。 Blues 布魯斯，也叫藍調，是由黑人音樂家創作的，開始流行于30年代，國內比較少這種風格的歌手。 R&B 全名是Rhythm and Blues,節奏布魯斯，源于Blues,但是加入了強勁的低音節奏，讓人心跳加快。 Hip-hop 現在正流行的街頭音樂，主要配以舞蹈，還有強勁的電子合成效果，很多年輕人都喜歡。韓國的H.O.T 就是代表。 Country music鄉村音樂, 使用的樂器有吉他、斑鳩琴、鼓和小提琴。音樂本身的音域不廣，但樂于受搖滾和其它音樂的影響，節奏變得非常強烈，歌詞率直而真實，如平常生活中說話的形式。3) Check the answers on the computer screen.Step 3 Pre-reading1）Task :ListingHave you heard about any of the famous bands in the world?
