Day and night across China, groups of middle-aged retirees, mostly women, gather together to dance in open space, like squares and parks. They are known as“guang chang wu da ma”.Their love for square dancing has made them a national phenomenon.
However,some people don't think highly of it.Their music is too loud, and they take up too much public space.Besides, they even dance at improper(not proper)places—such as the square in front of the Louvre in Paris, where Chinese tourists broke into a dance last year.
Even so, the dancers are growing in number and style. Li Dong, 46,is a pioneer in this field.
“In addition to keeping fit, square dancing has become so popular because older people who are free from work and from raising children want to be connected with one another. But I think that square dancing has a deeper meaning.”
By teaching herself different dances, such as Latin,Tango and Cha-cha,Li adds variety(花样)to square dancing.“Although we are old, we are curious and want to try different dance styles,”she adds,“because square dancing has attracted(吸引)so much attention,I want to take it seriously.”
As for people's objection(反对),Li says her team has taken the suggestion of turning down the volume(音量)and dancing at proper sites.“We are not a trouble at all.”

Hip hop,or rap music as it's also called,started on the streets and in the clubs of New York City in the 1970s,but today many countries have their own kind of hip hop music.This kind of music has its roots in reggae,disco and funk music.Rapping,which means speaking to the rhythm of the music,is an important part of this music.Young people rap to express how they feel about their lives and problems.
Would you like to rap in class?Well actually,hip hop music is being played in more than 10,000 schools in the USA.Why?There is a new school programme called “Flocabulary”where teachers use textbooks and hip hop CDs to help teach a variety of school subjects.The lyrics of the songs include information on a subject students are studying,which makes learning easy and fun.Students and teachers are amazed at the positive effects it has had on exam marks.This is what one teacher said,“I've used hip hop songs in class,and I've never seen students have such a great interest in history!It's unbelievable how students remember what I teach!It even encourages us to write our own songs.”
Blake Harrison,a high school student,first thought of the idea of Flocabulary.The word “Flocabulary”comes from the words “flow”and “vocabulary”.“Flow”is a rap word for “style”,or the way a rapper says the words of a song.How did he get the idea?Well he realized he could remember the lyrics of a hip hop song very easily.So,why not make lessons into songs?Today together with Alex Rappaport,a composer,Blake produces hip hop songs for maths,science,and literature,which are now being used in schools with great success.
Paragraph One
Hip hop music started in New York City in the 1970s.It comes from 46 ,reggae,disco and funk music.
