Many Chinese people like American country music, such as the songs of John Denver. But still some people don’t know when country music began.

Country music is from the folk music of the Appalachian Mountains in the east of America There. people sang while playing the violin and the guitar. They sang about everyday life, love and their problems. So the songs were sometimes a little sad.

One of the most popular country music singers was John Denver, who was also quite famous to the Chinese. For Denver, music was a language that could bring the word together. He said music could bring people together. We will understand each other better through music.

Bob was only seven years old. One night Bob was at home alone while his parents were out for a party. He had often stayed alone before, so he wasn't afraid. As he waited for his parents to return home, he watched a film on TV. His eyes became heavier and heavier as time passed by. Suddenly Bob’s eyes opened wide--what was the sound in the next room? Bob heard the window being opened slowly. For a minute, Bob was so frightened that he could not move, and his body felt like ice. He knew that he couldn’t lose his head(惊慌失措)and began to think of the things he could do. Again he heard the sound of someone trying to climb into his home through the window.

Bob’s drums were standing in the corner near the TV. “Wait, maybe there is something I can do,” thought Bob. He beat on his drums as hard as he could. The sound was so terrible that Bob surprised even himself. He also surprised the man in the window, who ran away as fast possible. How clever he was!
