(The Blue Danube)

DamingHmm, this is Western music, isnt it? Can you hear the violin and the piano? Its so beautiful! Is this by Strauss or Mozart?

Lingling: Im not sure…

Betty: Its 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, dont 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? Im a fan of rock music. Listen to this!

Daming: Hey! Give us a break!

Lingling: Rock music? Listen to those drums!

Daming: Its so noisy! And much too fast!

Tony: You dont like rock music? I dont believe it!
