I'm ready. Are you ready?
I'm ready.
OK. Lights.
Camera.
Let's Talk in English.
Hi, everyone, and welcome to LTE TV.
My name is Andrea.
And I am Gabe.
Today we're continuing to talk about music.
But the title is a little different.
We have a question: When Should You Listen to Music?
When Should You Listen to Music?
So I guess there's a good time and a bad time to listen to music.
We're going to learn about this today.
And we would like you to follow along in your magazine.
So please open your Let's Talk in English magazine, go to today's lesson, and
read along with our Read It.
Here we go.
Does listening to music help you work or study better?
It may.
And does the kind of music you listen to matter?
Studies say it does.
One study said that music with a regular beat and a simple melody can help
people study.
They can focus better.
Rock music can have the same effect.
Another study showed that people remember a group of letters and numbers faster
when rock or classical music is playing.
Simple, focus, effect, matter, beat, simple, focus effect, matter...
Uh, Gabe, Gabe... Gabe, it's time for us to teach.
Simple, focus...
Uh, what... what are you doing?
I'm trying to focus, Andrea, on the key words.
Matter, beat, simple, focus, effect, matter, beat, simple, focus, effect...
That's great! That's great, Gabe.
Yes, it's good to focus on our key words.
But now we should focus on our students.
They matter a lot to us.
Oh. Hey, everyone.
Well, we do have some key words.
Let's focus on that one key word, OK?
Say it with me.
focus.
All right. Good job. Say it again.
focus.
When you focus on something, that means you are thinking hard about it.
You're not thinking about anything else.
You are focusing.
That's right. And it's not always easy to focus.
If there is a lot of noise around you and you are trying to do some work or do
your homework, it might be hard to focus on what you should do.
It might be easier to look around at everything else.
But it's important to learn how to focus on what you have to do.
But some studies show that if you listen to certain kinds of music, it might
help you focus better.
But the kind of music really matters.
Let's take a look at this key word.
matter.
If something matters, that means it's important.
It makes a difference.
It matters.
So the kind of music that you listen to matters.
So you can't listen to any kind of music to be able to focus.
It's important to know what kinds of music can help you.
And some studies say that music with a regular beat and a simple melody can help
people study.
We see two key words there: beat and simple.
Beat is part of music.
I'm a drummer.
I like to make beats.
So the beat is kind of the rhythm.
That is the beat in music.
Did you like that, Andrea?
Oh, yeah.
Yes. Wow! That's great!
You're really good at making beats.
Thanks.
Well, sometimes if a song is very loud, you can really hear the beat of the
song.
If a song is quieter, it might be hard to find the beat.
I like songs that have a simple beat.
A simple beat.
Well Andrea, can you help us with that simple key word?
I would love to. That's simple.
Our key word is "simple." Now if something is simple, it's not very difficult.
If a beat is simple, it's not a hard beat to make or to listen to.
If something is simple to do, it's not very difficult to do.
I can help you clean the table off.
That is simple.
I can help you with your math homework.
This is a simple problem.
Well, we have one more key word here.
It is the word, effect.
effect.
The effect that something has is what it does.
So, if music can make you focus better, then focusing better is the effect.
So that is a good effect.
Yes.
So things can have a good effect, but also a bad effect.
The storm had a bad effect on the city.
Many houses were damaged.
Ooh, that's not good.
That's a bad effect.
But listening and learning with Let's Talk in English will have a good effect on
your English.
You will improve.
Well, right now it's time for us to learn more with Christina.
(Chinese).
You are working so hard.
Yes, I have a lot of work to do, and it's not easy.
Listen to music.
Music helps you work better.
It does?
Yes. Studies say it does.
Hmm, what kind of music?
Listen to music with a regular beat.
Uh, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4.
A regular beat.
Yeah. And a simple melody.
A simple melody.
Yeah. Then you can focus better.
And if I focus better, I'll work better.
Yeah. One study showed that music can also help you remember things faster.
Remember things faster?
Thanks. I'll remember that.
You're funny.
Does listening to music help you work or study better?
It may.
And does the kind of music you listen to matter?
Studies say it does.
One study said that music with a regular beat and a simple melody can help
people study.
They can focus better.
Rock music can have the same effect.
Another study showed that people remember a group of letters and numbers faster
when rock or classical music is playing.
OK, now it's time to review our key words.
The first one is: matter.
matter.
What you think doesn't matter now.
beat.
beat.
I like the beat of this music!
simple.
simple.
This is a simple story. It's easy to understand.
focus.

Focus on your homework! You need to finish it soon.
effect.
effect.
What effect did that movie have on you?
All right, you're doing a great job.
Now it's time for us to go and enjoy It's a Rap!
Yo, yo, yo. You will see a word.
Think of some other words that rhyme with that word and make a rap.
And the word for today is: beat.
What rhymes with "beat"?
Well, we've got "sheet" and "repeat" and...
Uh, yes?
Seat.
Seat!
All right, Angus and Duck, please give me a beat.
Ladies and gentlemen, please have a seat.
I hope you enjoy the show and the beat.
We're doing music with no music sheet.
And if it's good enough, we will repeat.
Let's repeat that.
A little faster now.
Here we go.
Ladies and gentlemen, please have a seat.
I hope you enjoy the show and the beat.
We're doing music with no music sheet.
And if It's good enough, we will repeat.
Ha! All right.
Well, we're not going to repeat that.
Thank you, Angus and Duck.
It's a Rap!
