Country music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States. It is popular because it is about simple, but strong, human feelings. As life becomes more complicated and difficult, it is good to hear about simple, ordinary people.

Country music comes from two kinds of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States. The other is traditional cowboy music from the American West.

My father and my uncle have different lifestyles. My father is usually busy and fast-

My uncle has a quite different lifestyle from my father. He is easygoing and relaxed. He spends his free time watching TV or surfing the Internet. He rarely goes to the sport centre. He enjoys pop music very much, so he often wears earphones, even when he is on the bus. He seems to have nothing to worry about…..
