Ever since then, she has been a fan/f n/ of American country music. ④
Country is a traditional kind of music from the southern /'s (r)n/ states of America. Nashville /'n v l/, Tennessee/ ten 'si / is the home of country music. Many songs these days are just about modern/'m dn/, /'mɑ d rn/ life in the US, such as the importance of money and success /s k'ses/, but not about belonging /b 'l /, /b 'l / to a group. ⑤
However, country music brings us back to the “good old days” when people were kind to each other and trusted one another. ⑥ It reminds us that the best things in life are free — laughter/'lɑ ft /, /'l ft (r)/, friends, family, and the beauty/'bju ti/ of nature and the countryside. ⑦
Sarah hasn’t been to Nashville yet, but it is her dream to go there one day. She has already read a lot about the place and done some
research on it.
