答案:
Our school organizes a music week in the first week of March each year.
This year each class gave some performances, such as singing, dancing and short plays. Some of the short plays were put on in English. We also invited a famous pianist to our school. He not only put on a performance but also gave us a lecture about the history of the piano. In addition to all this, we had a musical knowledge contest. Many students took an active part in it. They said they enjoyed themselves very much in the music week.
