Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
Many children have music classes when they attend school. And it is thought that music
can help them learn other subjects better. Research has shown that it can improve children's
performances in certain subjects.
Some studies have shown that music training can help you understand your own language
better. It could also help you with learning a second one. Moreover, young people who have
studied music also seem to get higher scores in other subjects like Maths. So it could be that these
school subjects are connected in some way.
Music also helps you think of new ideas, and believe more in yourself. If you are learning
the guitar, for example, it can be really exciting when you are able to start composing your own
pieces of music. One of the biggest benefits, of course, is that listening to music can reduce your
stress. And composing music can make you feel the same way. Maybe your musical knowledge
will even open up a great career path for you in the future!
