3.In my opinion,classical music is a bit like mushrooms!You don't see the link?Let me explain.When I was younger,I didn't like mushrooms.They had a horrible texture(质地)and no taste at all,and I used to pick them out of every dish in which my mum tired to hide them.But gradually,as I got older,my view changed.I started to enjoy mushrooms-flavoured things like soups and sauces,and eventually I found I could eat mushrooms without grimacing(痛苦的表情).And now I even quite enjoy them!So my mum's prediction that I would"grow into them"was proved quite correct.Similarly,I always thought of classical music as this boring genre(类型)that only boring grown-ups liked.Whenever my parents played it in the car,I would count down the minutes until we could change it to my preferred genre:pop.But while at university,I found that calming orchestral music was just the thing for library revision playlists---it had no lyrics to stop me concentrating on my study,and the pieces tended to be very long; perfect for long work sessions!
Recently,my developing relationship with classical music reached a new level when I voluntarily chose to go to a ballet.Admittedly,it was the dancing that originally attracted me,but once there I thoroughly enjoyed the music too.It was The Nutcracker,and I was surprised by just how much of music I recognized!The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy,The Russian Dance,The Waltz of the Flowers-they all sounded familiar.I didn't know how I knew them,I just knew that I did!And I loved them.My parents would be proud.
