听音乐—Listening to Music

（单词翻译）

I really enjoy listening to music because it helps me relax and takes my mind away from other cares of the day. Personally, I really like jazz music because of its musical rhythms and soothing¹ beat. There are several stations on the radio that play this type of music. Other times, I enjoy listening to country and western music. Some of the lyrics² to these songs are inspirational and moving. Occasionally, I listen to classic rock or classical music, but I can't stand heavy metal or rap music. When I'm on the road, I either tune³ my radio to a favorite station, or I listen to music on my MP3 player. I've downloaded hundreds of songs to my player, so it's easy to search and play my favorite music. When I get home, I turn on my stereo system, crank up the volume, and enjoy the music.
