Номер 2, страница 75, часть 2 - гдз по английскому языку 8 класс учебник Демченко, Севрюкова

2. a. Have a brainstorm competition. Each pair has one minute to write down all music styles they know. The last pair to say the final existing style or sub-style is the winner.

b. Read the description of the most common music genres (styles). One of the music styles is mistakenly given the wrong name. Which one? Prove your point of view in pairs.

Music can be divided into classical, folk ['fɔuk], and pop music. People of different ages usually prefer to listen to different styles of music.

Young people are normally keen on listening to different styles of popular music which include rock, pop, rap, dance, techno ['teknɔu], etc., while adults are usually into something more traditional like country, classical or folk music. Tastes differ, you know.

Classical music is often performed by an orchestra ['ɔ:kıstrə], a choir ['kwaıə] or a soloist ['sɔuləuıst]. People usually say a “piece” of classical music rather than a “tune” or “song”.

to perform (v.) – performance (n.)

Folk music often expresses the character of ethnic and social groups and sometimes a nation. It is the music of the people. A folk song can express political or religious beliefs, tell a story or describe history. Country music is probably the most famous kind of folk music and is popular in many parts of the world.

Jazz and blues come from the USA. Jazz has a strong rhythm ['rıðəm]. The melody can be played by ear. Blues is a style of music famous for being sad. The lyrics are often about people’s difficult lives.

Every country in the world has its own pop stars. Pop is short for “popular” music and it means the most common form of music. Wherever you go in the world, it’s easy to hear music from famous musicians [mju:'zıʃənz] like Ed Sheeran or Billie Eilish whether you want to or not!

Rock music is famous for being loud! Rock groups use electric guitars, bass [beıs] guitars, and drums to create music with a strong beat and lots of energy. There are lots of sub-genres of rock such as metal, punk, and prog-rock. With so many different styles of rock to choose from, no wonder it is so popular!

Techno is different from most music genres in that it is usually spoken, not sung. The words rhyme (рыфмаваица) like a poem, and fit to the strong beat of the backing music.

Dance music is the kind of music you usually hear in clubs and bars. It has a strong beat, is often repetitive, and is perfect for dancing too. Like rock, there are many different styles of dance music. Some are slow, some are fast, but they will all get your feet moving!

If the music you like doesn’t fit one of these categories, it is probably alternative [ɔ:l'tɜ:nətɪv]. Music might be called “alternative” because only a small group of people like it or because it doesn’t fit well into another category.
