example answer. This IELTS question is all about music.

Do you prefer listening to live music or recorded music. I think most people

prefer to go to a live concert, or a lot of my friends really love going to live

gigs and seeing the band in person, but I'm actually a little bit different. I'm

on the other side of the fence. I think when you listen to a record the music

and that track has been fine-tuned to the band's perfect taste.

I mean they've used the technology and they've been able to refine and perfect

that record so it sounds exactly how they wanted it to.

Obviously that level of perfection is quite difficult to achieve in person, so

sometimes when I listen to live recordings of bands I'm a little bit

disappointed, because it doesn't sound like it does on the record. That said,

that's the reason a lot of people go to concerts in the first place - is that it

sounds different from the record and they're listening to a completely unique

performance that you cannot buy on CD or download. So I understand both sides - I

understand both camps, but personally I prefer listening to the record, the CD, or

the mp3. If you want more check out MarkTeacher.com for more IELTS courses
