MUSIC LOVERS LIVE LONGER

  MUSIC LOVERS LIVE LONGER

Listening the music, particularly classics, can help you to live longer according to researcher, Mr. Fadhlan.. He believes that music lovers suffer less from stress and high blood presure than people who do not enjoy music. As a part of three-year study he brought groups of people together to listen to music. He found that their blood pressure was much lower when they were listening to classical music than when they were left to talk to each other.

Mr. Fadhlan, a researcher at the nusic college of Lowa University, does not enjoy classical music himself. But he said yesterday : “ I am seriously thinking  of appreciating classical more, “

 OUR STRANGE LANGUAGE

I think you already know

A mouth is not a mud in mother.

Nor both in bother or in brother.

And here is not a match for there

Nor dear and fear for bear .

And there is a rose and lose.

Just look them up –and goose  and choose,

And fork and work and card  and car

And from and front and word and sword

Come ,come , I have hardly made a start

A strange language

Man  alive

I had mastered it when I was five.
