Երաժշտություն։ Թարգմանություն

Ո՞վ չի սիրում երաժշտություն։ Ինչ տրամադրություն էլ ունենանք՝ լավ թե վատ, ժամանակ առ ժամանակ միացնում ենք մեր սիրելի երգը։ Եվ դա, իր հերթին, մեզ հանգստացնում, կամ վշտացնում է։
Առանց երաժշտության կյանքը ձանձրալի կլիներ։ Յուրաքանչյուր ոք ամբողջ աշխարհում անտարբեր չէ երաժշտությանը։ Ամենահայտնի ժանրերն են՝ ռոքը, ռեպը, փոփը, տեխնոն, շանսոնը, հիպ-հոպը և այլն։ Կան այլ՝ շատ յուրահատուկ ժանրեր։ Օրինակ՝ ժողովրդական երաժշտություն, դասական երաժշտություն, հոգևոր երաժշտություն, ինչպես նաև շատ հետաքրքիր ժանրեր՝ ինչպես բլյուզն ու ջազը։
Դուք նկատե՞լ եք, որ մարդիկ, ում երաժշտական ճաշակը համընկնում է ձերի հետ, շատ ավելի արագ են ձեր հետ լեզու գտնում, քան նրանք, ում ճաշակը շատ տարբերվում է ձերից։ Շատերը հավատում են, որ երաժշտությունը հոգու առաջին և գլխավոր մասն է։ Հավանական է, որ դա իսկապես այդպես է։

Shops I like to go

I don't usually go to shops, and I can't say I like shopping. But I do like music shops, even though I'm not able to buy anything there. I'm fond of music, and I'd like to learn to play all that instruments.
In music shops, you can see so many various musical instruments. You can examine them. You can play them; you can hear how they sound; you can discover how they are played and decide if you want to play them or not. In my opinion, it is exciting and valuable so that I can name music shops my favorite.
