Music has been and will continue to be the universal language of mankind. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#music #language #mankind
From ancient times to today’s contemporary epoch
music
 has always been the ubiquitous language of homo sapiens. I completely agree with
this
 claim.
To begin
 with, from the primaeval time to the present modern world there existed different kinds of fine arts. One among them which has been given the utmost importance is
music
.
Music
 has always unearthed paths to communicate with people irrespective of their language. It brings out emotions within the individuals. Even though, if a
person
 does not understand the lyrics, it is through the
music
 that he understands the encrypted mixture of feelings within the song.
For example
, everyone in India from children to old people knows the national anthem. But half of the nation does not know the meaning of it, since it was written in Bengali. But during a cricket match, before the match starts, players sing the national anthem and the spectators sing
along with
 them heightened sentiments. The rhythm and tone brought out a sense of patriotism in every single
person
 present there.
Furthermore
, it is said that
music
 can improve our mood. It is said that “
Music
 has the power to melt a stone”. Based on the rhythm and tempo you listen to; it is easy to determine the mood of a
person
. To cite an epitome, if a
person
 listens to fast and energetic
music
 that means he is happy. If a
person
 harks to dull and slow
music
 that means he is probably sad.
According to
 a study, it is affirmative that singing a song can improve our mental state.
Music
 not only affects human beings, but
also
 plants. In

research conducted by botanists, it was claimed that the rate of growth of plants depends upon the type of
music
 you play to it.
Music
also
 has the competency to bring people together. Whether it is a tribal dance in front of a borne fire or
music
 played at marriages, parties, birthdays, etc it brings everyone in conjunction. In my opinion,
music
 has a variety of uses, mostly for recreational purposes. It can help a
person
 communicate with others.
Hence
 it was, it is and it will be an omnipresent entity of mankind.

overall
Your essay has strong examples and a good level of coherence and cohesion. However, make sure to include a more balanced discussion and check for minor grammar and punctuation mistakes.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
