(The Blue Danube)
Daming:Hmm, this is Western music, isn’t it? Can you hear the violin and the piano? It’s so beautiful! Is this by Strauss or Mozart?
Lingling: I’m not sure…
Betty: It’s by Strauss. I love his music! Do you know anything about him, Tony?
Tony: Was he German?
Betty: No, he was born in Vienna, the capital of Austria. What a beautiful city! This is called The Blue Danube. The Danube is a river in Europe. It goes through Vienna.
Lingling: Do you like traditional Western music or pop music, Betty?
Betty: Well, I like both. You listen to pop music, Lingling, don’t you?
Lingling: Yes, I do. I also like Beijing Opera. Listen to this fantastic voice.
Tony: Hmm, the sound is very… different, isn't it? I’m a fan of rock music. Listen to this!
Daming: Hey! Give us a break!
Lingling: Rock music? Listen to those drums!
Daming: It’s so noisy! And much too fast!
Tony: You don’t like rock music? I don’t believe it!
