A friend of mine is a musician. He 1 seems to be learning new tunes, new 2 , and new ways of making music in cool ways. At the weekends, he 3 to go into Central Park in the center of Nagoya during the daytime where lots of bands 4 . Some of these bands are really good, but some of them are quite 5 . One of the reasons why my friend likes 6 all the bands is that they are 7 ! And as he says to me, '' 8 expensive things don't necessarily mean that they're good, free things don't necessarily mean they have no 9 . You have to listen and look yourself and 10 what is valuable for you. And 11 , as you listen and look, you may learn different things.''
So my friend goes to the 12 every week when the weather is fine, and he says he learns 13 from every single band! When he watches and listens to the really good bands, he learns new concertos (协奏曲) from the 14 and cool rhythms from the drummers. I guess that it's not 15 that you can learn a lot by watching 16 performers. But what really 17 me are my friend's words — ''You can learn by watching and listening to the bad performers, too. When I watch a bad performer, I think to myself-wow, that's another thing that I'm going to 18 .''
So my friend makes 19 by learning from both good and bad performers. And he says he also finds 20 and pleasure in learning and improving in ways that he never even imagined!
