  • Hi there! I'm Mark from MarkTeacher.com and this is another high band IELTS

  • example answer. This IELTS question is all about music.

  • Do you prefer listening to live music or recorded music. I think most people

  • prefer to go to a live concert, or a lot of my friends really love going to live

  • gigs and seeing the band in person, but I'm actually a little bit different. I'm

  • on the other side of the fence. I think when you listen to a record the music

  • and that track has been fine-tuned to the band's perfect taste.

  • I mean they've used the technology and they've been able to refine and perfect

  • that record so it sounds exactly how they wanted it to.

  • Obviously that level of perfection is quite difficult to achieve in person, so

  • sometimes when I listen to live recordings of bands I'm a little bit

  • disappointed, because it doesn't sound like it does on the record. That said,

  • that's the reason a lot of people go to concerts in the first place - is that it

  • sounds different from the record and they're listening to a completely unique

  • performance that you cannot buy on CD or download. So I understand both sides - I

  • understand both camps, but personally I prefer listening to the record, the CD, or

  • the mp3. If you want more check out MarkTeacher.com for more IELTS courses
