【题目】阅读下面短文,根据短文内容完成表格中所缺信息,每空一词。
Language is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live in the world. Similarly, music is part of many people's lives, whether it is played on the radio on your drive to work or played in a concert. Both language and music play a huge role in our culture and here are some of their similarities.
Both have a writing system.
In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music. Musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music which we can hear. So just as you read English, you can read music. By writing pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time. We can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago, which is really quite exciting.
Both vary with culture.
You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language they use. 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.
How do you know that I am angry? Of course you may be able to see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my words. 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 that emotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happiness. In contrast, you probably also listen to sad music when you are feeling down. I think we have all used music to express or process our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics.
