2024-2025学年第一学期开学检测八年级英语试题
A popular form of music in Thailand is luk thung.People often
call it"Thai country music".It began in the countryside just north of
Bangkok in the early 1900s.Over the years,it has reached every part
of the country.You can now hear it playing in Thailand's big cities.
One of the most famous luk thung musicians was Suraphol
Sombatcharoen.He helped to make luk thung popular around the
country.He wrote more than 100 songs!He was so famous that
people called him the“King of Luk Thung”.
Thai migrant workers also helped to make luk thung popular
across Thailand.Migrant workers are people who leave their homes
to find work.These workers usually leave the countryside to work in
the cities.They brought luk thung with them!As a result,many luk
thung players were from the country.Many of their songs were about
country people living in a city.
Luk thung is always changing.At first,luk thung was slow and
soft.Many luk thung songs were also emotional.Now,luk thung
shows are wonderful.Luk thung players wear colorful clothes with
beautiful lights on them.They sing and even dance on the stage!
People also play luk thung with different tools.For example,they
seldom used electric tools.
