Câu 2: We all know that teenagers like music. Yesterday, in a survey conducted by the
National Institute of Music, 300 teenagers were asked about their favorite kind of music. The
teenagers were divided into three groups of 100. The teenagers were divided according to
their age: 14 – 15 years old, 15 – 16 years old, and 16 – 17 years old. The teenagers voted for
the music they like by using a computer that counted their votes. Pop music was the type of
music that was the most popular with all age groups. Jazz and classical music received the
lowest number of votes. However, older teenagers tended to like these two kinds of music
more than the younger groups. Hip Hop was not as popular as was expected. The teenagers,
who were all male, were not allowed to discuss their choices with others before the survey
took place. Each participant voted individually and was unable to see what choices were made
by others. The researchers plan to carry out the same survey again next year, using the same
teenagers. They want to see how much the teenagers’ tastes in music change in one year. Next
year’s survey may also include female participants. The National Institute of Music is a
government-funded organization that promotes music and musicianship among young people
nationwide. It also offers scholarships for young people who have outstanding musical
abilities.

***************************
Cats, a musical comedy about cats.

The musical comedy Cats is set in London’s East End and follows the lives of a family of cats
as they try and start their own newspaper publishing company. The father cat, Fredrico, had a
lifelong dream of having his own newspaper called the Daily Meow. Assisted by his lovely
wife Tiffany, their daughters Lucinda and Geneveve and their slightly crazy son Pannini, this
family of felines sings and jokes their way into everyone’s heart.

As you watch the play, you will hear such musical treasures as “Baby, Don’t Eat the Green
Salami,” “The Marmalade Cat Shuffle,” and the unforgettable, “I’m Not Crazy—Just
Misunderstood.”

Because this is a sold-out performance, all attendees are requested to arrive one hour before
the start of the show. Also, we ask that you do not bring any pet dogs or mice to the show, as
these animals will excite the actors.

Cats, a furry good time!

Subject: Re: Draft conference schedule for Wednesday

Date: August 25

Hello, Yasmin,

As per your request, I have filled the slots that were listed as still available on the tentative
conference schedule for Wednesday. Dr. Alban Buchanan in Scotland says that he is eager
to talk about distance education as it is practiced within the film academies in his country.
Also, my contact in Yaounde wrote to let me know that Ms. Marie-Therese Tchangou will
be the school's representative. Mr. Andrei Durchenko has informed me that he is
withdrawing from the conference. His replacement from the same school, Ms. Melina
Vakhitova, will submit the title of her presentation shortly.

I also wanted to add that I will be arriving in Abu Dhabi at 6:00 a.m. on Wednesday. That
should give me plenty of time to set up for my presentation.

Regards

Ayumi Murakami
