Jazz
Have you ever heard anything about jazz [dæzl? We are sure you
have. Jazz is a type of music and the only art form that was creat-
ed in the United States. Jazz was created by black Americans. Many
blacks were brought from Africa to America as slaves. Different
native songs were sung by the black slaves and the music of their
homeland was played in America.
Jazz is a mixture of many different kinds of music. It is made
up of the music of West Africa, the work songs of the slaves and
religious music. The first jazz bands' were formed at the end of the
19th century. They played in bars and clubs in many towns and cities
of the South, especially New Orleans (nju:' oliənz].
Nowadays New Orleans is an international seaport, and people from
all over the world come to New Orleans to hear jazz. Improvisation
Limprəvar'zeiſn] is an important part of jazz. This means that jazz music is made up or created on the spot. This is why a jazz song
can sound a little different each time it is played.
With time jazz became more and more popular. By the 1920s, jazz
was popular all over the United States. By the 1940s, you could not
only hear jazz in clubs and bars, but in concert halls too. Today jazz
is played all over the world. On every continent special festivals are
held where jazz musicians from the United States, Asia, Africa, South
America and Europe meet and share their music. In this way jazz
continues to grow and change. Let's hope that no matter what hap-
pens in music jazz will always be performed and listened to.

dear nick,

thank you for your letter. i'm happy to get it.in your letter you ask me how i spent my summer. i think that most people spend the summer on the shores of ponds, swimming and sunbathing. as for me, i spent the summer with his grandmother in the village. we walked a lot in the woods, picking berries and mushrooms. i've seen a lot of wild animals and birds. moreover, we met a large moose with huge antlers. i did not think that the forest is so interesting!

how did you start out? there are new lessons? you learn in school last year? sorry, i have to go now. write back soon!

best wishes,tom
