This is part of a letter you receive from an English friend:
"I joined a band two months ago, but I'm not enjoying it much because the others are always having arguments. I just want to play music! What should I do?"
Now write a letter (100 words), giving your friend some advice.
If your band has a bad mood, and you just want to play music, why not going into a solo career ? You could play whatever you want and whenever you want. But don't chose an instrument that can't be playing in solo. Guitar and piano are great but triangle is really bad.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't want to be single, you can create your own band, and recruit who you want in your band, or play with your friends if they love playing music too.
I hope that helped you.
Dear friend,
ReplyDeleteI received your letter yesterday, and I am writing to you because I want to help you. I think you should leave the band, if you don't want to get involved in the other members' arguments. You could create your own band, only with friends of yours, so there wouldn't be any fight or argument and you would have the opportunity to play music more often. I think that's the only thing you can do, because you would waste your time if you stayed with your current band. When members of the same band don't get along, it's silly to stay together !
I am looking forward to seeing you.
Yours truly,
Octave
Hi Jim,
ReplyDeleteI understand your point of view as I have been in a band years ago. If I had some advices, it would be to listen to the others and try to explain ( calmly ) your problem and claiming.
Furthermore, maybe some of them want to play music but because of two or three people they are influenced and you have to find who they are to ask them why they want to be part of a music group if they don't want to play music.
Besides, I'm sure you could play music less seriously and laught with them, I know you're to shy and detached. ( 104 words )

Dear friend,
ReplyDeleteI am sad to know that you do not really enjoy your experience in your new music band. As far as I am concerned, I may be able to give you few advices, which could help you to overcome your worries. First of all, you should talk to the members of your band in order to get your problems off your chest. However, it doesn't mean that you have to be aggressive and hurtful. I am sure that they will listen to you and take in count your remarks. Last but not least, take a step back and just focus on your music performance ! (107 words)

I made a mistake putting a "s" at the end of advice whereas it is always singular.

Dear Elton,
I'm writing to you because I received your letter and I want to help you giving some tips.
First, I don't understand why they don't want that you play music with them. When I heard you playing music, it was beautiful, you play many different music instruments and I think that you have a huge potential. I think that other members of the group think also that you have this potential but they don't want to lose their place in the group. They are probably jealous. You have to speak with them but I think you have to leave the group.
And you have two choices: either you join another group either you take a risk starting a solo career.
My advice ? Sometimes, risks are essential....
Whatever your choice, I wish you good luck for the future !
Cheers
Phil
I made a mistake, I wrote « I have been in a band » instead of « I was in a band ».
ReplyDeleteMoreover, I made a second mistake: I wrote « advices », instead of : « advice »
