My Passion.
My passion is listening to music. I'm crazy about it! It's with me everywhere: at home, in the shops, at work, in the car, while I walk. Music relaxes me. I forget about everything, and enjoy myself. I prefer to listen to difference styles of music: classical, pop, R&B, and rap. As I recall, I have always listened [1] to music. I like to sing very much, but I haven't got a good voice. [Good variant in Amer. Eng.: ... but I don't have a good voice.] It's such a pity. [Very good variant: "What a shame.] But I let myself do it when nobody is near.))) Because if I sing in front of people, they will smile for a long time. There is a Russian idiom, "A bear stood on the ear". [2] It applies to me.)))
[1] When an action began in the past, and continues until the present moment, use the "present perfect tense" [and sometimes the "present perfect continuous tense"].
[2] "I have a tin ear." = I have a bad ear for music.
"I am tone deaf." = I have a bad ear for music.
"I can't carry a tune." = I can't sing.
"I can't carry a tune in a bushel basket." = I can't sing.
