: Sample Answer

Listening to my favourite music is very relaxing to me and I feel refreshed and energetic with this activity. This is one of the most effective ways to relax both mentally and physically and for me, it has been proven to be a very effective way of relaxation

If I am at home, I listen to music either on my computer or in my music player. I listen to music when I work or even when I take a nap. Sitting on the balcony and listening to soft music is an out-of-the-world experience that I often enjoy. When I am at work, I use my iPod to listen to my favourite songs. Even in the public transportation, listening to music is relaxing

I listen to music mostly alone but sometimes I listen to it with friends who have similar taste in music. For that, I use the speaker instead of the headphone. Sometimes my niece comes to my room to listen to her favourite music and I play her favourite music on my laptop. So in a sense, I often do that with her as well. But most of the time I enjoy music alone
