I normally listen to music throughout the day while I'm working in and out of class as it helps me concentrate and at night when I'm doing things round the house or tidying my room. I have different playlists for different moods and different times of the day. I listen to music at school, at home, walking to and from somewhere and when I go to parties. I normally listen to music through my earphones but will always tell people new songs I like and they tell me theirs. When me and my mates go out we will always bring a speaker so we can sit somewhere and listen to music. I will listen to music from my phone as I can et any song I want. I will also listen to CDs when I am in the car or the radio.

Examples:
Personal identification - when I used to get angry with my parents I used to blast songs that would express how I feel and that would make me feel better.
Information - sometimes you learn something from a song, Oliver Cromwell by Monty Python taught me some history.
Entertainment - Madonna and her dance moves.
Social interaction - songs my friends and I would always request and dace to when we went out.
