            Music influences people in different ways or the same person differently at different times. Music may seem to influence people differently. That is because people can react differently to the music. We are able to apply a choosing process to the music we hear.

"The dummies do not have the talent, to see how long it takes, and soon be eliminated."

In Vpop, this statement does not seem strange to people who have known the name Son Tung M-TP. As a matter of fact, for a long time, the products of the Thai Binh singer have been attributed to the two words "borrowed", and none of the products have been put on the analysis table. . Many people said that the fun to find the "copy" in the products of Son Tung M-TP seems to have become a "specialty" in him.

However, it can not be denied the hot music of Tung M-TP between the music market today, the listening and the view. It can be seen, despite the negative is always towards him, but the rising popularity is undeniable. Not to say, in the three most recent music of Son Tung is "We do not belong together", "Lac Loi" and "This place has English", can see the huge growth in the number of people The view during the launch of this MV is very impressive. If "We do not belong together" reached 3 million views of the day, "Lost" a day more than 4 million, the latest MV "This place has him" reached 7 million. With this data, Son Tung M-TP even leads the world according to an international statistical website, and this is almost impossible for a country with a small music background like in Vietnam.

If you just look at the market around Son Tung, people can say he is the catch-lucky. But look more closely, everyone knows if it is only live by the dash, this young singer will never be able to touch the "terrible" achievements. Is luck, talent, or good strategy? The key to opening the door explains "the bomb is hot" - Son Tung M-TP is still the answer many people love - haters curious male singer.

"This is not the time to decipher the Son Tung M-TP phenomenon, he has been recognized already!"
If 3 or 4 years ago, Vpop was still saturated with the music in the safe frame, or often the opposite reaction when a product is affected by the color Kpop is popular, then Son Tung's "carefree" made music out of the invisible boundaries. This "Kpop purity" led him to be severely criticized but scored "strongly" for young audiences who were waiting for something new that they never experienced.

"This is not the time to decipher the Son Tung M-TP phenomenon, he has been recognized already!"
Not only catch up with the trend of music world, Son Tung's works have very own attraction that rare Vietnamese artists do. This is reflected in the tone of the ear and the lyrics are very attractive, attractive. The key phrases that are easy to remember are repeated like "Not the right kind", "Please be the younger of yesterday", "We do not belong together" ... are heard by the mouth quickly. Making the song more pervasive, encouraging people to listen. Assuming concur with the question of music imitation, at least can not deny the catch phrase, pure Vietnamese is still the stamp of Son Tung M-TP.

For those who underestimate the tone of Son Tung, do not forget Thai Binh singers who have graduated from Ho Chi Minh City Conservatory of Music 2012, show that his voice is highly valued in an abandoned environment. Through all the elements of appearance, entertainment. Although not possessing the vocal "terror", the pronunciation is bold "region", but male singers are smart to turn that into their own characteristics. His improvisation, improvisation and individuality help him not get confused whether to sing lyrical or exciting music.

Can be compared, Son Tung's voice mixed with rice cake or chili salt toast. No nutrition expert can carry out the assessment, weigh the same with other sorceries, and enjoy the people do not need to bother what they like, they "eat" only.

In addition, the effective handshake with the leading music producers such as Slim V, Triple D, Long Halo, Khac Hung ... show that Son Tung also have a lot of expertise and sensitive ears. of a manufacturer to be able to communicate all that he needs. Little is known, most of Son Tung's songs are released by the market himself and built at home, in order to keep full of emotions and personal colors without being controlled by anyone. Vietnamese artists who are capable of doing this should only count on their fingers.

"This is not the time to decipher the Son Tung M-TP phenomenon, he has been recognized already!"
As can be seen, Son Tung's great success lies in separating his "color" from the market in the midst of the time full of young artists with a personality almost a color. With good looks, stylish Korean style, the male singer first hit the needs of the view and the curiosity of the young audience. This is considered a very successful direction of Son Tung. Because in the age of development of the media and technology today, any artist has a head

Find native English speakers      In certain areas it’s the hardest thing to do, but it’s the best use of your time. Talking to actual native speakers is the most effective way to improve your English skills, speaking or otherwise. So whether you have to Skype them, call them, or beg them to speak to you, do so. Your progress will be faster this way than any other.

Listen to the music of English    No, not English music, the music of English - its lilt, its prosody, the sing-songy-ness of it. The intonation. Even if you speak perfect English technically, if you speak it like a robot you’re not speaking it the way it’s meant to be spoken.

Slow down    Above all, if you want to be understood, slow down. The more clearly you speak, the better chance your listener has of understanding you. It’s tempting to get nervous and want to speed up to get it all over with, but you can’t do that! Clarity is key - for some native English speakers, too!

Record yourself   Though we hear ourselves all the time, we really don’t know quite what we sound like. So record yourself! What are the weak and strong points you hear in your speech? And then you can concentrate on what you need to work on.

Speak English at home    This is the biggest, easiest mistake to make. You go about your day, you’re on the job working partly in English, you go to your English class, and then you go home and revert back to your native tongue. While you may be making slow improvements, you’ll never get past that dreaded lingual plateau. Make a point to speak it at home, too. Have only English at the dinner table. Stick to English TV at home. Make it as 24/7 as possible.

Talking to actual native speakers is the least effective way to improve your English skills

A. True

B. False
