(A) Have you ever faced a time when things looked dark and you had no hope at all Two years ago, I was told I had a serious disease which was difficult to cure. My body ached all the time and thus I thought I didn't have much longer to live. I was very afraid and I felt so alone and discouraged. Then one day, I had to go through a two-hour medical treatment. The doctor wanted me to relax, so he had me listen to some music, and one of the songs was “Happy”. The song made me feel so much better that from then on I began to listen to music all the time. (B)John A. Logan said, “Music is the medicine of the mind.” And it's true. Music helped me recover.

Start
Have you ever experienced the ups and downs of life and felt frustrated or discouraged Two years ago, when I entered the new school, I felt lost and depressed. It’s like I had been taken out of my natural environment, and put somewhere new. And slowly I began to lose myself, like I was being washed away. But then the next moment, I felt the melody, the song “Count on me”---soft and calming, comforting and powerful. It gave me strength and hope, like my old friend. It gave me company and comfort. And also it gave me courage to face all the difficulties. Gradually, I adapted to the new school. The philosopher Plato once said, “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” I do benefit a lot from mysic.
