A2 (Elementary) level conversations: (10) Talking about Music Preferences
Samantha: Hi Jake! How’s everything going?
Jake: Hey Samantha! All good, thanks. How about you?
Samantha: Not bad. I was thinking about music. Do you have a favorite genre?
Jake: Oh, that’s a tough one! I really enjoy rock music. The energy and guitar riffs get me pumped. What about you?
Samantha: Rock is awesome! I’m more into pop music. The catchy melodies and upbeat tunes always put me in a good mood.
Jake: Nice! Do you have a favorite artist or band?
Samantha: I really like Taylor Swift. Her songs are so relatable, and she’s a great storyteller. How about you?
Jake: I’m a big fan of the Foo Fighters. Their rock anthems are timeless, and Dave Grohl is a legend. Any specific songs you’re into right now?
Samantha: I’ve been listening to “Shake It Off” by Taylor Swift a lot lately. It’s such a fun and empowering song. How about you?
Jake: “Everlong” by the Foo Fighters is always on my playlist. It has this amazing combination of lyrics and melody. Do you play any instruments?
Samantha: I used to play the piano when I was younger, but I haven’t in a while. It’s such a versatile instrument. How about you?
Jake: I play the guitar. It’s my go-to stress reliever. Nothing beats strumming a few chords after a long day. Any favorite music festivals or concerts you’ve been to?
Samantha: I went to a pop music festival last year. The live performances were fantastic! Have you been to any rock concerts?
Jake: Yeah, I saw the Foo Fighters live once. It was an epic experience—the energy, the crowd, everything. Do you listen to music when you’re working or studying?
Samantha: Absolutely! It helps me concentrate. Taylor Swift’s songs are often my background music. How about you?
Jake: I do the same, especially when playing instrumental rock. It sets a good rhythm for work. Well, Samantha, it was great talking about music with you!
Samantha: You too, Jake! Music is such a universal language. If you ever want to share song recommendations, count me in!
Jake: Sounds like a plan, Samantha! Let’s do that.
