PROBLEM: F: What kind of music do you like listening to? ,M: I like music that has a fast beat and it's lively, like dance music which is sometimes too loud, though.

I often listen to Mozart or bach in the evening after a hard day at work. ,M: I must admit that I like several pieces of classical music. ,F: Classical music is supposed to be good for your brain, research suggests that it makes your brain more active, students who listen to classical music while studying perform better. ,M: Really? Perhaps I should listen to classical music often. I heard that listening to classical music is helpful in reducing stress. ,F: Yes, that's why I listen to it in the evenings.
