Music always makes things happen
Read the following text
Tania and the music.
Tania is an eleven-year-old girl who lives in Boston. She adores music. However, since she moved recently, her taste in her music has not been the same. Back home in Salt Lake City, she did not listen to all kinds of musical genres. She always played dolls with her friends to the rhythm of pop music. Sometimes, she would listen to country music when she was sad. Currently, nothing is the same. She rarely listened to rock before, now she always does it when angry. In addition, it is the first time that she has listened to hip-hop. She seldom played jazz to relax. Nowadays, she listens to classical music every time she studies for an exam. She thinks that she can't live without music. Therefore, she will continue discovering new genres through her CDs, the radio, and music classes.
