Musical Tastes and Practices Music is something I really enjoy. I like different types of songs, such as pop, rock, classical, and jazz. It’s hard to pick just one favourite singer because there are so many great ones out there with unique styles. I listen to music when I want to relax, lift my spirits, or express emotions. I usually listen to music during my free time, while traveling, or while working on tasks. Although I sing along with songs for fun, I haven’t had formal training from a teacher. Folk music comes from specific cultures and is passed down through generations, while classical music follows a more structured and standardized approach with compositions from famous composers. |

Showing Love for Animals Yes, I like animals because they are wonderful and unique creatures. I enjoy both wild and tame animals, as well as pets we keep at home. Animals can be found in different places like forests, oceans, and even cities. They don’t speak like us, but they communicate in their own ways using sounds and body language. When animals are not feeling well, they may show changes in their behavior, like not eating much, looking tired, or making distressed noises. When they get sick, veterinarians take care of them, and for wild animals, there are special people called wildlife rehabilitators who help them until they can return to their homes in nature. |
