　　 People come back from abroad bring home a new musical taste.
　　 How often: I listen to Hip-hop everyday. It’s water and food to me.
　　 Answer:
　　 I’m not a music student but an amateur music lover. (业余的)
　　 And I haven’t done any research and survey about the music industry in China. (研究调查)
　　 But from my personal experience, young people in China appreciate pop, hip-hop and R&B the most.
　　 It think this is largely because many people who have been abroad are bringing back a new musical taste.
　　 So boy groups, such as Westlife, and singers, for example, Justin Timberlake, Usher or the Taiwan R&B king, David Tao, become really popular.
　　 And the development of music technology makes listening to music very convenient.
　　 Right now, it only costs you a few hundred yuan to buy a large Mp3, well it’s not iPod, but works just fine.
　　 I listen to music, like, all the time.
　　 And right now I’m most interested in Hip-hop.
　　 It’s young, energetic and so fashionable. (150 words)
　　 Q: What do you think influences the young people’s tastes in music?
