Exam round-up 3 Decide which of the ideas you discussed you can use in this essay and write a brief plan. When you have fi nished, work in pairs and compare your plans. Although people can listen to recorded music on their music players when they1 are travelling working or studying music festivals and concerts are becoming more and more popular. This2 is because I believe they3 offer two main advantages. The fi rst advantage is that the quality of the sound is much better at live concerts where the music and voices come directly from the performers. This4 makes it5 a much more emotional experience because you have direct contact with the musicians and you react to them6 and they react to you. The second advantage is the atmosphere. Instead of listening to a recording alone on your personal music player you are listening with a huge crowd of people and enjoying the music together. This7 means it is a social as well as an artistic experience. The main disadvantage is that you cannot listen to live music whenever you want like you can on a personal device. Apart from that8, the noise from the audience sometimes spoils the quality of the sound. In my opinion however the best way to enjoy music is the spontaneous atmosphere of a live concert. It9 is more exciting because you are surrounded by other enthusiastic fans who are dancing with you. 4 Read Ulli’s essay and answer these questions. Which of her ideas are the same as yours?
