Music has been around as long as humans. It is part of our lives, and it probably always will be. But the way we listen to music is always changing. First, we could only hear music if it was played right in front of us. Now, we can listen to songs that are recorded on the other side of the world!

Spotify is an app that allows people to listen to all the music in the world. It costs $10 a month, which is a really good deal for all those songs. Streaming your favorite artist’s music from anywhere is easy using Spotify. Many people think streaming music from home is a novel idea.

Gary just signed up for Spotify. Find out what Sara thinks in today’s English lesson about a new way to listen to music. -- View this and other great English lessons at www.englishbaby.com

Even though we try to eat healthily, we might not be eating all of the right foods. We can take a pill that has the vitamins and minerals that our bodies need. Supplements are an easy way to get needed vitamins.

Marni tells Jessica about all of the different vitamins that she takes. Find out more in today’s English lesson about taking a pill a day to keep the doctor away. -- View this and other great English lessons at www.englishbaby.com

When we read books or watch TV and movies, we’re usually interested in them because they tell stories that are very different than our daily lives. They might introduce us to different countries, or a type of job we don’t know about. But there is a genre of fiction that can show us another world that doesn’t even exist.

Science fiction is based on a made-up idea of what the future will look like. It might show ideas of future technologies and how they affect people. Science fiction is interesting because even though it may not be based in reality, some people feel like it can tell the future.

Sara tells Kellie about a science fiction book she is reading and how much she likes it. Learn more in today’s English lesson about a made-up future. -- View this and other great English lessons at www.englishbaby.com
