There are four key skills to study English: listening, speaking, reading and writing. First, we should be ready to face some to talk with others in English. By doing this, we can improve our speaking and listening skills. Second, we should try to listen to all kinds of English as much as we can. In this way, we can quickly make our better. Third, we should often read English books. When we come across a new word, we should guess meaning through the context first, then look it up in the dictionary . Fourth, we should get the pen and write it down at once. As long as we listen, speak, read and write more, we are sure to make great progress.

American country music begins in the south of America. American country music is mainly about things that are common for everyone: feeling alone in the modern world, the value of having good friends and so on. During the 1950s, American country music has been enjoyed by more and more people. The in the 1960s many young students were angry with society, so songs

were often full of anger. Political leaders were not well thought of and those songs often made fun of them. Country music today keeps much the same as before. One subject to which country music often returns is “the good old days”. In “the good old days”, people thought well of each other. People loved life in the open air. They believed that the best things in life were free: sunshine, laughing, walks in the beauty of the country, friends and music.
