Sample Answer 1

Introduction

It is unequivocal to say that music is an integral part of our lives, and we thrive primarily on it to meek us feel refreshed and energetic. Therefore, although I mostly listen to local music, I sometimes listen to international music.

And there is one international artist whose music I like the most.

What is it?

It is the instrumental music of Mozart.

When did you listen to it for the first time?

Last year there was a lockdown in my nation, so I had to stay at home for six months. After that, I went into depression because I had no work.

Seeing my plight, my father came to my rescue and advised me to listen to the instrumental music of Mozart. I followed his advice, and that was the time when I heard this wonderful music for the first time.

Why do you like it?

I like it because it has led to a paradigm shift in my life. Before listening to it, my life was going through a lean patch, and I was finding it hard to concentrate and focus on my work.

But after listening to the creations of Mozart, I started feeling relaxed, and my work performance improved considerably.

Moreover, this is instrumental, and this attribute allows anyone to listen to it without any language barrier. The life of its creator, the renowned musician Mozart was stressful and to come out of his unfortunate circumstances; he created this music.

I advise everyone to make this music an integral part of their lives.
