　　1.

　　I love music. It’s as important as food and water to me.  I can’t spend one day without listening to my favorite tunes. And I have an extensive collection of all kinds of music, from classical to rock and roll, from Jazz to hip-hop.It’s funny how I love so many different schools of music.

　　2.

　　And recently, one of my all-time-favorite tunes is “What Goes Around” by Justin Timberlake. Justin Timberlake is huge right now in America and he’s working with so many  famous names including Timbaland and Madonna. This song is from his new album “Sexy Back”.

　　3.

　　This song is definitely hip-hop, which is very popular among young people right now. Justin uses his voice in a unique way and it has a special characteristic.

　　4.

　　I heard this song not long ago when I was watching the latest hit show on American Television, “Gossip Girl”. So in the first episode, when the girl was coming back to her hometown, this song was playing in the background. It suddenly caught my attention.

　　And I searched for it and got it.

　　5.

　　I’ve been listening to this song for sometime now, but I still like it very strongly. Especially when I’m tired from all my learning, I put it in my ear, and the beat, the rhythm will wake me up and give me so much energy and joy in life again. People say music affects your mood. It’s so true. Hip-hop is young and passionate. And the song “What goes around” is from the phrase “What goes around, comes around.” I guess it has a very positive meaning. As you work hard, you will improve.
