Some people like only one kind of movie, but as for me, it (depend)on how I feel.
When I'm (down), I don't watch documentaries but (comedy)instead, because they usually have funny (dialog)and a happy ending. And I don't mind action movies when I'm tired. I can just (shut) off my brain and enjoy watching exciting superhero who always saves the world just time.
Sometimes I like to watch movies are scary. They can be too scary for me to watch alone. So I always bring a friend with (I) so that it doesn't seem so scary anymore.
What movies do you feel like (watch)? Do you stick to one kind of movie or not?
Like many others around the world at the start of the year, I made a New Year's resolution. I decided to try something different from the usual ones: to do more exercise, eat more vegetables, etc. So, after getting lost in lots of videos one day, I developed an interest in beatboxing. Beatboxing is making drum sounds just by using your mouth and voice.
The idea of making sounds with our mouths can date back to traditional African music where singers often created percussion(打击乐器)with their bodies. However, it was on the streets of Harlem where the word beatbox (or two words: beat box)was firstly invented. Beatbox was a slang(俚语)term for drum machines being produced around the time. Drum machines made drum sounds without actually needing a drum kit(架子鼓). Drum machines were very expensive, especially for those rapping in poorer communities on the streets of New York. Therefore, MCs(rappers)would often rap with someone else beatboxing to provide a beat.
Beatboxing grew into a known and respected art form throughout the 1980sand 1990s. Nowadays, beatboxers get millions of views on the Internet and people watch them on talent show programs. The Beatbox Battle World Championships first took place in Germany in 2005 and takes place every three years. In August, 2018, it took place in Berlin. Around 180 artists battled against each other in several different categories(类别)to find the best beatboxer!
There are many good online courses on how to beatbox. That's how I'm learning for my New Year's resolution! And of course there's the old trick of saying "boots and cats" very quickly to create a beat. Go on! Give it a go.
