Music is fun for learning english

Learning English through music and songs can be very enjoyable. You can mix pleasure with learning when you listen to a song and exploit the song as a means to your English progress. Some underlying reason can be drawn to support the idea why we use songs in language learning.
Firstly, “the song stuck in my head” Phenomenon (the echoing in our minds of the last song we heard after leaving a restaurant, shopping malls, etc) can be both enjoyable and sometimes unnerving. This phenomenon also seems to reinforce the idea that songs work on our short-and-long term memory.
Secondly, songs in general also use simple conversational language, with a lot of repetition, which is just what many learners look for sample text. The fact that they are effective makes them many times more motivating than other text. Although usually simple, some songs can be quite complex syntactically, lexically and poetically, and can be analyzed in the same way as any other literary sample.
Furthermore, song can be appropriated by listener for their own purpose. Most pop songs and probably many other types don’t have precise people, place or time reference.
In addition, songs are relaxing. They provide variety and fun, and encourage harmony within oneself and within one group. Little wonder they are important tools in sustaining culture, religion, patriotism and yeas, even revolution.
Last but not least, there are many learning activities we can do with songs such as studying grammar, practicing selective listening comprehension, translating songs, learning vocabulary, spelling and culture.
From the elaboration above, it can be suggested that learning through music and songs, learning English can be enjoyable and fun.

My holiday is not clear

My last holiday, my friends and i went to hollywood planet. We go to there for watch film.
 We went there with very deliberate. We planned it with my friends a long time ago.We have determined that we will leave at 7 in the morning. In the morning arrived there was one of our friends that can't come. Finally I am with my friend get him.
 After all together, we stayed until 9 o'clock. And we're leaving at 10. When we arrived at the terminal. It was very crowded, and we had to wait for the bus. On the way we decided to go to the monas. The trip there is very tiring because in a very crowded.
 After we get in the monas, we really disappointed, because on that day monas is closed. Because I don't know we're going, we live in the monas for a couple of minutes.
 After a few minutes passed, we have finally chose the planet hollywood. We went there to watch a movie a single. We went there not by bus, but we are to grab car. We need 30 minutes to get there.
 After we get there, we simply booked the ticket and watch a movie a single. I think the movie was really exciting and quite sad for the audience.
 After we finish watching, we went to a place to eat while I'm resting. We're there until 8 o'clock. We're going home with a sense of fun though. This vacation is not I'm gon na forget!
