impression of the title of my new book

Our kind of traitor by John le Carré

When I read this title I think at once the book is a crime thriller.
I would say it is going about some friends and one of them is killed by someone who was his friend. So the other friends look for the traitor and revenge their killed friend.

Let´s see what it´s about.

english homework-music

I listen to every kind of music, no matter if it is classical music or pop. But there is one exception: I don´t listen to metal. I don’t like it very much because you can’t hear the lyrics very often and for me the lyrics are a very important part of a song, because I want to know what the band is singing about. On the one hand I like to listen to new and popular music sometimes, but I am always the last who listens to them. I think it´s not that important to know every new song. On the other hand I like oldies and moreover I listen to that music my sister says I should listen to.

Music is very important for me, because I can chill when I listen to music but I don´t listen to it every second of my free time. I also want to talk to my friends. I know a lot of people who always have their earphones in their ears while they are talking to me and this is something I hate very much. In my opinion it’s very rude, because it seems as though this person doesn’t want to listen to your words.

As I said before the lyrics are very important but I think the beat or the voice of the singer is also very important. It´s horrible if the lyrics are very good but the singer doesn’t have a good voice or can´t communicate the meaning of the song.

I don´t have good equipment but for me it’s is okay, if I can listen to my music on YouTube or iTunes. Now my headphones are broken, but I don´t want to buy new ones, because the speakers on my computer aren’t bad. I don´t buy CDs very often, because I buy music on the Internet.

One of my favorite artists is Michael Jackson, because his lyrics are very good and he sang very well too. I don’t have a CD by him and so I always have to listen to him on YouTube. One of my favorite songs is “Smooth Criminal”. Here is the original music video:
