A WORLD OF MUSIC – BUT WHO CHOOSES IT?

Music is all around us. However, we rarely think about who chooses the music, and we’ve no idea how
they decide what to play. ‘It is a science,’ explains Liam Collins, 41, who is DJ at the Bluewater
Shopping Centre in Kent. 1. _____________ ‘We play music in the dining areas, entrance halls and the
country yards, you can hear a whole range of different music, from Paul Oakenfold mixes to Frank
Sinatra.’ ‘In the morning, the music is generally on loud. 2. ____________. The busier the shopping
centre gets, the more relaxing the music needs to be. People listen more carefully to the music than you
might think.Once we accidentally played White Christmas At Easter. A huge crowd of people came to
reception to tell us.’ ‘I don’t actually think the crowd care about the music, to be honest, ‘says Richie
Tierney. PA announcer at Prenton Park football ground, the home of Tranmere Rovers. ‘3.
_______________.’ Otherwise, Richie and his assistant have clear rules. They play James Brown’s I Feel
Good when Tranmere score and they play a special re-mix of Going Home by Mark Knopfler when
people are leaving the stadium. We also spoke to several taxi drivers. What is important for them is to
have music playing, but what they actually listen to is nothing like as important as how loudly they play
it. ‘We play everything. No one complains about what it is, but the minute it gets too loud, then people
complain.’ ‘I don’t really care what I listen to,’ says Jed Strange, a London cabby. ‘4.
________________But I do change the music if the customer doesn’t like it. That way, the tips I get are
much better.’ he admits. We also found a taxi driver who only plays classical music. ‘Classical music is
just as enjoyable as rock,’ he says. ‘With classical music I feel far more relaxed, and I really need that
with today’s traffic, which is getting a lot worse every day.’ And in that he’s not alone – classical music is
also the preferred choice of Dr. Janet Highsmith, a dentist from Cambridge. ‘Most of my patients are
pretty stressed,’ she says. 5. _____________. It’s usually a piece of Baroque music that helps them to
relax.’

Hi everyone! My name's Siobhan and I'm from Dublin, Ireland. My family and I have been living in
Kazakhstan for six months now - my dad works for an international company in Aktobe. We've made a
lot of friends here already, and one of them us to her wedding, which is going to be this Sunday K'm

I was really looking forward to it. I wasn't disappointed! It was a traditional wedding, so the -wore a

There's a song, in which the guests sing the folk song Zhar-zhar. The most important ceremony is called
'Neke qiyu' and it only takes about half an hour. It's a religious ceremony for Muslim couples. Later, they
go to the registry office for another ceremony. After that, the often go on a tour of the city's sites and pose

There are always a lot of (sometimes more than 6001), and one thing I find strange is that no one ever
arrives on time. If the wedding invitation says five o'clock, you shouldn't go before six, because you'll be
