M: At first, they wanted to hear our harmony. We sang to them and they really liked to. So they decided that it would be best to put us together as a group. W: What are some of the distinctive features of your music? M: We have a variety of different songs; we have four different styles: soft rock, slow music, love songs and country music. But we are most at home with soft rock. I really like our voices merged together and I like how it sounds. Actually, there is a song called Studying. Our company really likes the song because it represents our voice. W: What would you like to bring to the audience through your music? M: I'd like to recommend our first song to everyone. The name of the song is Believe. The main idea we want to share is that we want to tell everyone you have to believe in yourself before people can believe in you. Actually we want to bring our music to everyone and make everyone happy. Music is something all around you. You can listen to music and you can feel what the music says.

This is part of the fun of painting - discovering what you can do with a little imagination, taking some risks, and trying to do new things. W: Thanks for the encouragement. M: Sometimes the most beautiful things result from artistic accidents. And I'd say the same is true of almost all interesting things. What was said before this conversation?

Problem: Given the question: W: No. I got divorced years ago. Even worse, I got divorced when I had small children. M: Have you thought of the effect divorce may have on your children? Their needs can be forgotten as parents are struggling to re-establish their lives. W: Of course, we have. We are definitely more aware of the impact on children. After all we are not famous people who trade spouses like shoes. For most of us divorce is not entered into lightly. We all suffer. Anyway, we try to comfort our children. M: How? W: We tell them we love them and will always do. M: You haven't thought of saving the marriage? W: Yes, we have. We would do anything to spare our children pain. But you know, fixing a marriage is not like changing a tire. Family conflicts may take hold like a cancer. M: Then divorce is the only way to get rid of it. W: It's true with me. Others may succeed in fixing. M: Yet most people believe a had marriage is better for children than a divorce. According to a recent poll, more people today think parents should stay together for the sake of the children What do you think? W: I think the cost of staying together is worse than the benefits. Parents quarrelling and fighting all day may do more harm to their children. M: What do you want society to do for you? W: Understand us, not curse us. More importantly, they should help us share the loss and build a better future. What was said before this conversation?
