if you missed it it was called band 9 music vocabulary for ielts speaking i shared some
high level more informal vocabulary about music that's perfect for part one and today you're
going to hear me use that vocabulary in sample questions so the first question i'm going to be
answering is what kind of music do you listen to unfortunately i often am stuck listening to
what my kids want to hear we'll be in the car they want to listen to what's on the radio the poppy
new tunes maybe taylor swift or lizzo i don't hate it would not be my first choice but it's
not worth fighting with them so i let them choose the music when they're in the car but for me if i
ha if i could choose i would pick something much more mellow i like to chill out while i listen to
the avett brothers or mumford and sons something a little more folk a little more chill i do
appreciate though with the music that they listen to these you know new tunes have these great beat
drops the band ajr does this really well where there'll be a significant pause and then this big
beat drop boom and now the beat's faster and it's loud and oh it's so fun and exciting so
i do appreciate that about their music so i don't mind so much listening to what they want to hear
all right guys you heard me listen say a lot of this vocab i had taught tunes hip new tunes beat
drop talk about that right um that music is poppy pop tunes um the you know pop music you
can just refer to with that adjective poppy all right next question going to answer the question
has the music that you listen to changed since you were young for sure hugely crazy when i was
in high school i liked the classics i liked you know and there'd be an oldie but a goodie
by tommy james and the chandelles or the beatles i love that stuff and then when i first got into
college i went through a punk phase and i would listen to lag wagon the ataris dropkick murphys
and then later in college um i listened to more chill music pin back bright eyes and then once
i got married my tastes became even more laid back i started listening to the avett brothers
and cold war kids and the lumineers and now i'm obsessed with adele her music speaks to my soul i
will get super emotional sometimes and just sob i feel like it's so just powerful powerful powerful
but i really love sometimes to rock out to you know some heavy metal or yeah we're actually
going to an 80s heavy metal cover band in a few days and that's going to be a blast
so my tastes are kind of eclectic i love like lots of different kinds of music but they have
changed so much since i was a kid all right guys you heard a couple of great sample answers here
