3月13日雅思大作文真题参考范文 | 从古至今，音乐一直是人类共同的语言吗？

Although there are tens of thousands of languages in the world in which people can communicate with each other, music has always been a resonance among human races. People seem to be born with the ability to appreciate music. I believe this opinion is “resonant” with my own understanding.

Similar to the characteristics of language, music has an irreplaceable function in human life as "expression". While language is more an expression of the rational thinking of humans, music is more an expression of the subtlety of human perceptual feeling. Instinctually, humans are emotional and sensitive to external sounds. After a long period of evolution, people have discovered that through different rhythms, different pitches and different instrumental combinations, they can express emotions that cannot be depicted solely by words. In this sense, music is a type of sound in nature that accompanies the evolution of human society,bearing a stamp of the wit of mankind.

Take rock music as an example. Originally born in the United States, rock music made a frenzyin almost every country during the 1960s and 1970s. Young people around the world, despite the fact that they did not speak each other's languages, were extremely enthusiastic about rock and roll. One obvious fact is that the US economy was stagnant at that time, and the Cold War and Vietnam War made people look for an outlet to release their oppressive emotions, so rock music became viral with its explosive mix with various instruments and strong rhythm. In addition, the empathy of music is especially reflected in the movie Green Book: In that historical context, although jazz music featured a strong black music style, its rhythm created a lively atmosphere that could also become a bond of friendship between races.
