My favorite activity in free time is listening to music, and it brings me a lot of emotions. Music helps me soothe the sadness and pressure, and I can harmonize with the melodies as well as the lyrics. When I am full with energy, I usually choose a rock or a hip hop song so I can dance freely to music. On the contrary, when I want to relax and be lazy, I choose a ballad song to make my mood become more comfortable. Listening to music helps me express my emotions and feelings, and music is a wonderful language which can connect different people with similar interests. Two strangers can become friends if they like to listen to the same songs, share the same taste of music, or be passionate about a singer. I join a forum for music lovers, and it is a great place to make friends, share our favorite songs, and exchange international music information. Music can express many things that the words cannot, and I think my free time would be a lot more boring without music.
