Analytical exposition

Do you agree that music is important in our life? Yes I do, music has certain role completing our day to day activities. Here are some reasons why music is heard everywhere and anywhere.

Music is a way to express feelings. When we fall in love, the kind of music we’d listen to would be all about love. When we’re sad, we would go for music that is melancholic in nature and immerse ourselves in the sadness. When we’re happy, we’d choose songs with happy tunes too.
Song can help to memorize the last experiences. A favorite song is a powerful documentary.

People with Alzheimer which are impaired the brain would remember details about songs they were familiar with. For example, an elderly woman who couldn’t even remember her husband’s name would remember the details of her favorite song; when it was played, how it made her feel and things about the song that made it especially memorable for her.
Further, music can unite people for a cause and changes the world. A song with good lyric and striking deep chord can stimulate the universal feeling of all people. We can see it in the case of the famous and legendary Michael Jacson's Heal the World. It can arouse humanism of a lot people in this world.

So what would the world be like without music? It would be lonely.

Gerund

Definition

A traditional grammatical term for a verbal that ends in -ing and functions as a noun. Adjective: gerundial. A gerund (also known as an -ing form) with its objects, complements, and modifiers is called a gerund phrase, or simply a noun phrase. Like nouns, gerunds and gerund phrases can function as subjects, objects, and complements. However, unlike nouns, gerunds do not take inflections; in other words, they do not have distinct plural forms.

Example

·  "Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it."

·  Binx Bolling, the hero of Walker Percy's The Moviegoer, enjoys riding the bus that runs from Gentilly down Elysian Fields and into the French Quarter of New Orleans.

·  "I never believe nor disbelieve. If you will excuse my speaking frankly, I mean to observe you closely, and to decide for myself."
