經典背誦 Recitation
May: Gucci and I went to a charity show tonight, which was to collect money for the children in need. A lot of stars sang in the show, including my favorite singer Mendy, whose songs I loved very much. Even though she is great, there are still some people who don't like her songs. Maybe, it's because her stuff is too new and creative. It takes time for people to accept her. But I believe her day will come soon.

The Grammy

The Grammy is considered to be the most prestigious music award. Awards are given in about ninety categories ranging from “Best Album of the Year” to “Best Classical Contemporary Composition” and the like. The Grammy is the only peer-presented award to honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position. Till now, it has been celebrated 48 years, and it contributed a lot to American culture.

格萊美

格萊美被公認為是最權威的音樂獎項。它的獎項涉及90個領域，從“年度最佳專輯獎”到“最佳古典音樂作曲獎”以及其它類似的獎項。它是同類獎項中僅有的用來嘉獎在音像產業(yè)上取得的藝術成就、技術成果和整體的卓越貢獻的獎項，而不考慮唱片銷量和排行榜上的名次。迄今，已經舉辦了48屆，它對美國文化做出了巨大的貢獻。
