Music and my family
by Ben Cohen
We all love music in my family, but that’s because we’re from New Orleans. New
Orleans is famous for its great music.
My grandma was a musician in the Boston Symphony Orchestra. She plays
the piano beautifully. She always listens to classical music and she listens to opera,
too. I think opera is terrible! Some classical music is OK. I sometimes listen to it when
I’m doing my homework, because it helps me to work well.
My mum always listens to pop music at home. She loves old pop songs by Madonna
and Kylie Minogue. Mum goes to the gym three times a week and she takes an MP3
player with her. She doesn’t listen to pop music at the gym. She listens to old rock
bands like Aerosmith and Bon Jovi. She thinks they help her to run quickly!
My brother Aaron is seventeen and he plays the electric guitar really well. Aaron plays
the guitarin a school rock band. The band’s name is The Stone Monkeys. He’s also
learning to play the electric violin. He’s practising all the time at the moment, but he
isn’t very good. There’s one goodthing about the electric violin – you can turn off the
speakers and play it quietly!
My sister Kelly is thirteen. She doesn’t play an instrument, but she’s crazy about
music. When her friends visit, they sit in her room and listen to her CDs. She spends
all of her pocket money on music. She also buys a lot of songs on the Internet. At the
moment her favourite singers are Duffy and Leona Lewis.
My dad is crazy about jazz. There are lots of jazz concerts in New Orleans. In fact,
New Orleans is famous for jazz. All the tourists go to the jazz clubs on Bourbon Street.
My dad’s got a very big collection of jazz CDs and the autographs of some famous
musicians. Last year we were in New York for Christmas. Dad’s favourite jazz musician
was at the Cotton Club – a famous jazz club in Harlem. Dad had a fantastic night, but
we were all bored after fifteen minutes.
And what about me? I’m fourteen years old and I like a lot of different bands. I like
Busted and McFly. I also like rap singers like Ray J and Kayne West, but they’re not
my favourite singers. At the moment I’m doing my homework and listening to my
favourite band, The Kings of Leon. I think they’re incredible!

Chicago is full of great restaurants, but what do people in
Chicago eat at home? We asked two young people to tell us.
I always eat a big breakfast before I go to
school. I usually eat eggs, cornflakes or
toast, but sometimes I have tyropita.
Tyropita is a traditional Greek breakfast. It’s
a pie with cheese and eggs. Greek people
usually drink coffee for breakfast, but I don’t
like coffee. I always have milk.
I don’t eat breakfast at home because I
get up late, but my mum gives me a baozi
to eat on the school bus. A baozi is bread
with meat or vegetables inside it. Chinese
people cook the bread with steam, and it’s
really nice. My mum usually makes baozi
with chicken or mushrooms.
I always have lunch at school. Lunch at our
school cafeteria is horrible! But it’s OK,
because Mum makes me sandwiches. Some
of my friends eat a lot of crisps and sweets
as snacks at school, but I always eat fruit. I
usually take two apples to school with me
and some grapes or a few plums.
A lot of my Chinese friends bring Chinese
food to school, but I don’t. I really like the
school food and I always eat lunch in the
cafeteria. The burgers and pasta are great!
Sometimes they make Chinese food, too.
Today is Wednesday and I finish school late,
because I play rugby. I’m always hungry on
Wednesday evenings! Tonight my mum is
making yemista. It’s my favourite Greek
food. Mum and Dad are vegetarians, so
Mum makes it from red peppers, courgettes
and aubergines. My grandma also makes
yemista, but with meat. It’s delicious, but
don’t tell my mum!
In the evening my dad cooks dinner. Mum
doesn’t have dinner with us, because she
finishes work very late. Dad is a great cook
and my favourite meal is Cantonese meat
cake. He makes it with pork and lettuce.
When Mum comes home she sometimes
gives us chocolate cake and a little milk. In
China, people don’t eat a lot of cake. But
we’re different – we’re Chinese Americans.
