Listen to John Sloboda, a British psychologist. Complete the notes.

To make us remember important moments in the past, e.g., when we met someone for the first time.
To help us change activities, e.g., when we play a certain kind of music to prepare us to go out in the evening and another kind to relax us when we get home from work
To intensify the emotion that we`re feeling, e.g., if we are sad, we play sad music to make us even sadder; if we are feeling angry, we play angry music to make us angrier; we play romantic music to make a romantic dinner more romantic

7

Listen to the second part and explain how music affects the way we feel

Three important emotions: 2. sadness; 3. anger
How we feel affects the way we speak, e.g.:
2. Sad – speak more slowly / lower
3. Angry – raise voice / shout. Music copies this, e.g.:
4. Slow music with falling pitches sounds sad, Adajio for Strings (Albinoni)
5. Loud music with regular rhythms sounds angry, Mars (Holst)
Happy music, Seventh Symphony (Beethoven)
This is exploited especially in movie soundtracks,
e.g. the shower scene in Psycho the woman is just taking
a shower, but the music makes it terrifying.

Review the rules of Gerund and Infinitive

11

In English, if you want to follow a verb with another action, you must use a gerund or infinitive.
For example: We resumed talking. (gerund – verb + ing)
I want to see a movie. (infinitive – to + base verb)
There are certain verbs that can only be followed by one or the other, and these verbs must be memorized. Many of these verbs are listed below.

Common verbs followed by a gerund:
Example: He misses playing with his friends.

Advise, allow, anticipate, appreciate, explain,
finish, forgive, give up (stop), keep (continue)
keep on, prepare, pretend, refuse etc.

Verbs followed by a Gerund or Infinitive with little
to no change in meaning:
Example: It started to rain. / It started raining.

Begin, can’t bear, can’t stand, continue, hate, like, love, prefer, propose, start, seem, threaten, wait, want, forget

Verbs followed by a Gerund or Infinitive with a change in meaning:

I forgot to meet him. (I didn’t meet him because I forgot to do it.)

I forgot meeting him. (I don’t have the memory of meeting him before.)

forget

go on

He went on to learn English and French (He ended one period of time before this)

He went on learning English and French (He continued learning the languages)

regret

I regret promising to help you. (I’m sorry that I made the promise.)

I regret to tell you that we can't hire you (I’m telling you now, and I’m sorry)

stop

I stopped to call you. (I interrupted another action in order to call you.)
