Ashlie: This was Stephen’s idea. He loves clubbing, but this really isn’t my kind of music! I don’t know why I put up with him sometimes.
Stephen: What’s wrong, Ash? Surely you must like this. It’s great! I’m just getting warmed up!
Ashlie: Oh Stephen I can hardly hear you. What did you say?
Stephen: I said the music’s great. Why aren’t you dancing?
Ashlie: You must be joking, it sounds like a car alarm. It’s giving me a headache. I can’t stand this kind of music.
Stephen: Oh, but dance music’s much better...
Ashlie: You know I’m going to speak to the DJ.
Stephen: Ashlie! What are you doing? You’ve cleared the dance floor. This is a dance club, not some pop venue.
Ashlie: Well, I couldn’t listen to that noise anymore.
Stephen: Come on. Let’s get out of here before people start complaining!
......
Ashlie: Listen - we’ve tried live music, a club and a pub and I’ve just had a message from Sally and she says there’s a party at her friend’s house. Come on, let’s get a taxi. You don’t have to get up early tomorrow, do you?
Stephen: No, but we won’t know anyone there. Are you sure we can we just turn up? Are they going to let us in?
Ashlie: Yes - I’m sure - we’ll just tell them you’re with me. Come on, I’ve got to look up her address.
......
Stephen: Hey guys, all right...
......
Stephen: This is such a great house for a party.
Ashlie: Yes, it is, isn’t it? Except someone’s just turned up that terrible music. We haven’t been very lucky tonight, have we?
Stephen: For once I agree with you. I thought coming to a house party would be better than a club. You know, we could chat, meet some really cool people but this is awful.
Ashlie: Right – that’s it. We’ve spent the whole night complaining about music. Come on, we’re off!
......
Stephen: I can’t believe it. We were looking for the perfect night out and look where we ended up.
Ashlie: Oh, I’ve got an idea. Why don’t we make our own music!
Neighbour: Oi! Keep the noise down!

Hi
I like all sorts of music especially when it is a nice melody and it isn't noisy. Sometimes I listen quiet music especially after work, but sometimes I like to listen lively melody when I have joyful mood.
Dear Selvi Ferawaty
I invite you to Armenia and I shall organize for you special party with whole Armenian custom. It would be very interesting for you and for me.
best wishes
I really enjoy listening to music. It makes me feel peace, calm, and happy. I always listen to music everyday. Basically I like all kinds of music but I have a favourite type of music. It is pop and jazz. And also I like going to party but unfortunately I never experience having party because I never get invitation to come to the party.
How pity of me. Is there one of you would like to invite me to your party?
hi every body, hi verycherry,
i do not agree with you!!
i do like to go to the parties, it is fun. u can chat with friend, sing, dance.....etc.
i like singing, i my birth day parties i sing, every one who is listening to me say that my voice is wonderful.
i like many kinds of music such as rock music, but i do not like pop, classic music like many of people do. but liked the video, now i will listen and watch the teacher rob.
best wishes, sofia.

Very often there are full of drunk people...so don't lika than. I prefer to spend time in cinemas, theatres etc more tha in the parties.
hi everybody...i enjoy listening to music....my favorite type is R&B....i like going to the party
Thanks for British Council
it is good way for learning of English Language.
That has always been a problem for our family too. My husband doesn't like neither loud music nor dancing, moreover he doesn't drink alcohol and, therefore is not interested in pubs at all! Vice versa, I admire dancing and going out, so I have to go to clubs and pubs with my friends and colleagues. Even then I am envious with those women who have partners as I have to dance with odd awkward strangers!
These two guys are hilarious, I love them. Thank you British Council.
Hello everybody, I newbie here, but I admire the way of learn english like that, all this scenes are perfect. I have a questions out of the point. When Stephen and Ashley go to Sally's friend house to the party there was played a wonderful song background. Do you know the title and the artist of this song. It's really haunting me
Hi everybody..
I like it..
