Class Supplement, TOEFL Integrated Writing, Sample Answer 8

Question:
Summarize the points in the lecture you just heard explaining how they relate to the topic of the text.


The professor tries to raise interest in students about why music has no borders and plays important roles in our lives. He delves into the music-related phenomenon which a business mentioned in the text taps into.

The professor wonders why music universally affects us as in the case of religious music. He says music can be used to manipulate people’s feelings. It can be used as part of strategies on battlegrounds and in political campaigns.

He also points out how easily music sticks to our mind. A good example is a commercial jingle that we cannot forget whether we like it or not. He says that, even though not everyone who heard a certain jingle will buy the product advertized with it, it is clear that commercial music more or less has an impact on people who are considering purchasing the advertized product.

The professor says that it is impossible to explain the power of music since many studies on it have been made in vain. He says that music is strongly related to our instinct for an unknowable reason.

This lecture explores the interesting point of the text: the power of music. The text is about the practical usage of the power of music in raising sales figures and productivities. The professor gives other examples of music affecting human behaviors and tries to give an insight to the universal power of music and its origin.
