Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Many children have music classes when they attend school. And it is thought that music can help them learn
other subjects better. Research has shown that it can improve children’s performances in certain subjects.
Some studies have shown that music training can help you understand your own language better. It could
also help you with learning a second one. Moreover, young people who have studied music also seem to get
higher scores in other subjects like maths. So it could be that these school subjects are connected in some way.
Music also helps you think of new ideas, and believe more in yourself. If you are learning the guitar, for
example, it can be really exciting when you are able to start composing your own pieces of music. One of the
biggest benefits, of course, is that listening to music can reduce your stress. And composing music can make
you feel the same way. Maybe your musical knowledge will even open up a great career path for you in the
future!
