In my school, music is not just for people who play an instrument. It is for everyone. We believe music is an important part of life and that everyone should have the right to enjoy it.

We have music lessons on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Not everyone plays a musical instrument, but everyone wants to learn a little bit about music. It is never too late to pick up an instrument. During our lessons, we learn about musicians like Beethoven and Schumann. We not only listen to the music they wrote, but also learn about their personal history.

And it's not just musicians who take part in our concerts. Everyone can take part! Teachers give their students some percussion（打击乐器）instruments that are easy to play. I have a few friends who don't play music. But they played these percussion instruments well for our concert. I asked them what it felt like. One of my friends said, "I felt like I was a star performer. It made me feel confident to be on the stage（舞台）."

Each grade is able to perform in concerts. When I was in Grade 7, my classmates and I performed for our parents. We have many other musical activities.

The world's largest rainforest, the Amazon, grows over eight countries and covers 40% of South America. It makes about one-fifth (1/5) of Earth's oxygen（氧气）. People call it "the lungs of the earth".
