1 Read the text and tick (✓) A, B, or C. Two young musicians

Frank and Jimmy are music students. They live in the same

house and they are good friends but they like very different

kinds of music.

Frank comes from a family of musicians. His father is the

conductor of one of England’s top youth orchestras and his

stepmother gives lessons in classical guitar. Frank is

studying classical music. He can play the violin very well

and he’s also learning the viola. He practises every evening

and sometimes he plays for three or four hours. He also

loves listening to classical and modern tango and plays the

violin in a modern tango group called Tangota. Tangota play

once a month at a small nightclub.

Jimmy is doing a university course in pop music. He likes

listening to many kinds of music. He listens to slow music

when he’s stressed, he listens to jazz when he’s tired and

when he’s in a really good mood he listens to reggae or rock

music. He loves going to concerts but he doesn’t have a lot

of money so he can’t do that very often. Jimmy’s a big fan of

Tangota but he doesn’t like listening to Frank’s violin every

evening when Frank is practising, so he listens to loud music

on his headphones. Jimmy also plays in a band. It’s a rock

band called Happy Sunday. They usually get together once

a week to practise. Jimmy’s friend has a club and the band

can practise there in a large room upstairs. At the moment

they’re meeting twice a week because they’re making an album.
