Answers to IELTS speaking questions. Music Music Do you like music/listen to music? How often do you listen to music? Where/When? I enjoy music, but I’m not so into music as before. I was a big fan of music and I used to listen to various songs almost all the time, but in recent years my preferences have changed. Lately I listen to music every now and then and I prefer not to combine it with mental activities. I know some people listen to music while working or studying, but I've always found it breaks my concentration. I tend to listen to ambient music during the evening to calm down, upbeat music between difficult tasks to have a rest or while cleaning my house. I never listen to music when hiking or wandering around the city because I want to focus on a real life, to learn to live this moment and music can be distracting. What kind of music do you like? What do you dislike? When it comes to genres of music, I like listening to a variety of different types of music. It depends on my mood, time of day and on what I do at the moment, I have loved rock music since I was in high school, I often enjoy listening to classical music or sounds of nature during my lunch and sometimes I can turn on pop songs that were famous in my childhood. Thus, I tend to find that my playlist always reflects my state of mind, indifferent to the genres that it fall under. Although my tastes in music are various I’ve always avoided loud or angrily sounding music such as heavy metal, trash metal or aggressive rap. It makes me annoyed and frustrated
