Exploring the rules
Read the story again. Find the sentences that use verb-ing forms as subjects or objects and fill in the table below. .
In China’s Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, there lived a man named Boya, who was a master of the qin. Playing the qin was his life. He played so well that everyone enjoyed listening to his music and thought highly of his techniques. However, Boya believed no one could understand his music until he met Zhong Ziqi. Boya did not say anything before playing the qin, yet Zhong Ziqi was able to paint a picture of great mountain ranges in his mind. When Boya continued playing, Zhong Ziqi said he had heard the sound of a river flowing quickly. In fact, Boya had intended to call the piece High Mountains and Flowing Water. Having someone that really understood his music pleased Boya, who never got tired of sharing his music with Zhong Ziqi. The two soon became great friends and before going their separate ways, they agreed to meet at the Mid-Autumn Festival the next year. However, Zhong Ziqi failed to show up on that day. When Boya learnt about Zhong Ziqi’s death, he was overcome with sorrow. He played High Mountains and Flowing Water in front of Zhong Ziqi’s grave. After he finished playing the piece, he destroyed the qin and said, “Since the only person that understands my music is gone, it’s no use keeping the qin.”

I like listening to pop music best because of the lyrics, which can be very inspiring. Buying newly-released albums of my favourite singers always excites me.

Dear Eric,
Knowing that you are planning to collect some music that helps relieve our learning stress, I’m writing with great delight and excitement to share with you my ideal music-Schubert’s Serenade.
This piece is one of the masterpieces of Austrian composer Schubert, who is known as “Lord of the Songs.” And the entire piece lasts less than ten minutes, which makes it a perfect choice to play in the ten-minute break. At the sound of the music, you will find yourself immersed in its beautiful melody and fantastic world, thus forgetting your worries and sufferings. Admittedly, it is an effective way to reduce anxiety and stress, get refreshed and stay focused in class if you listen attentively on a daily basis.
With an increasing number of students under various stress, finding a way out is a must. So, why not give this melody a shot?
Yours,
Li Hua

Dear fellow music lovers,
I am Li Hua, and it is my great honor to share my profound admiration for the greatest band in history, The Beatles.
Their significance goes far beyond catchy tunes. Primarily, their innovation in songwriting and studio recording revolutionized popular music forever. Furthermore, their lyrics evolved from simple love songs to profound explorations of peace, love, and social consciousness, which encourages thoughtful reflection. Most importantly, their legacy as a cultural phenomenon teaches us about collaboration, creativity, and the power of art to unite the world across generations.
Listening to their music is like taking a journey through modern history. It has broadened my horizons and inspired me to think more deeply about the world. Thank you.
Yours,
Li Hua
