But anyway, when I got to university, I stopped playing. Well, there just wasn’t time and there were so many other things to do. Luckily, I toop after my 25th birthday and joined a band.
　　Daniel: When I was little, I thought I'd end up learning the guitar like my father, but then I decided that I wanted to have my own instrument, so I chose the trumpet（小号）. I’m in the school jazz band and I'd like to be a musician when I grow up, but my dad says it’s difficult to make a living from music. But I don't want to be a lawyer like him. It’s so boring.
　　Carmen: Nobody likes living near someone like me because when I practice, I make a lot of noise! But you have to keep practicing, don't you? Otherwise it gets more and more difficult.
