HI Dear Sue.

I study classical music. and perpose of "classical" is academic music.and classical here isn,t a particular period or particular area . Yes, I know beeth hoven and mozart and I have some knowledge about chopin , shubert , estravinsky , ... I feel music is a language that every body from each people and nation understands . and music doesn,t need translation and it is really wonderful! with T,s help.. sahar.

Dear Sahar, Yesterday I heard a song playing and it soothed my soul. I agree that music is a universal language, and it is as important to me as poetry. Have you ever seen the movie, "The Red Violin"? Joshua Bell, a young violinist plays the music in that movie, and I believe it is some of the most beautiful music I have ever heard. I hope you can find that movie on a DVD. You will love it.

About your English--One thing: in English there is a comma (,) and an apostrophe ('). isn't is a way of saying is not, and we leave out the o and use an apostrophe, not a comma. Examples: couldn't, wouldn't, shouldn't, aren't, wasn't and so forth.
Commas are used, primarily, to make breaks in a sentence. It is normally used when a speaker would take a breath or a break. Example, Lately, feeling lazy, I have avoided my housework. Isn't that awful!

Another lesson: Capitals for needed for proper names such as Beethoven, Mozart, Sahar, and so forth. You are doing very well and these are just a couple of minor points to remember as you continue to learn your English. Good luck and thanks for the great letter. What is your favorite musical instrument? Mine is the violin, as you can tell. When I was younger I played the violin and the piano.

Your friend, Sue
