Some studies have shown that music training can help you understand your own language better. It could also help you with learning a second one.

Music also helps you think of new ideas, and believe more in yourself. If you are learning the guitar, for example, it can be really exciting when you are able to start composing your own pieces of music.

Đáp án: There are several effective ways to improve the environment in our school. First, we should clean up the classrooms and schoolyard regularly to keep the space tidy and free of litter.
