In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music and providing us with music for every situation.

    Both share emotion.

     Of course you may be able to see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my word'. Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allows us to share in that emotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happinessI think we have all used music to express or process our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics.

A. Both are expressive.

B. The effort and devotion required to master a new language can get a strong sense of accomplishment. 

C. Bilingualism can delay the onset of dementia(痴呆症) and other age- related cognitive declines. 

D. One of the most significant advantages is the ability to connect with people from different backgrounds.
