I’d like to talk about an intriguing movie /volume/TV Program/ magazine/radio
program called- Trinh Cong Son- the Soul Musician depicting a life story of this
renowned musician that I long to look over time after time. The plot / content revolves
around his childhood to his adult life through ups and downs.

Well, I can’t recall exactly the time -that I thoroughly enjoyed it -because you know no
one can put back the clock-. Moreover-, I sat at the armchair in front of the box- to
immerse myself in watching/looking over/listening to the engrossing volume/ (9d)
box-office hit/ TV program/magazine/ radio program -I watched/read/enjoyed
the film/book/it with my mother -who would be my intimate friend-reaching for my
hands and touching my soul.

There are a couple of fundamental, imperative reasons -why I yearn for

watching/reading this absorbing book/movie/ TV Program / magazine/radio
program again. Firstly,- I am a big fan of TCS-, widely considered as one of the most
salient figures of modern Vietnamese music-. You know-, he has left behind a huge
collection of songs- deeply imbued with his typical style and philosophy of life-, which
are more likely to educate the young generations about the deep beauty of the
Vietnamese spirit -as well as enhance patriotism. Secondly-, no matter how stressed out
my day has been-, the movie/book/ TV program/magazine/radio program greatly
empowers-, inspires me-, drags me out of the low points in my life. All in all,- it was
absolutely compulsive viewing/reading/listening to -from start to finish.

Describe your favorite song or piece of music.

 You should say:
 What kind of music it is
 Where you usually listen to it
 Why you like it
and say what kind of mood this music puts you in.

I would like to talk about a catchy tune called Sand and Dust , a soul piece of music
performed by Khanh Ly. Well, this work of art depicts the fact that everyone starts and
ends their life from “sand and dust”. The underlying message of the song conveys a
spectrum of emotions, full of fascinating insights into human relationships.

Moreover, I make a habit of sitting at the armchair in front of the box/ to immerse
myself in listening to this fascinating song.

There are several reasons why I am partial towards listening to this song. Firstly, it
absolutely captivates me since the music is really melodious and catchy. I have found
that this song is like a river of love and peace that flows inside listeners’ veins.
Secondly, the song is entertaining because it not only bears the artistic values, but also
contains messages about life, which are often implicitly communicative to enjoyers.

Besides, no matter how stressed out my day has been, Sand and Dust greatly empowers
and inspires me, drags me out of the low points in my life. Whenever I feel blue or
depressed, it boots my ego really.
