       My city has been changing since the municipal authority had a plan to renovate the canal systems. The project cost a huge amount of money which was from the support of the world bank and the city’s budget. Before the renovation, the canal was the dirtiest place full of rubbish along its sides. Many ramshackle shacks were built to be shelters of the impoverished working families migrating to this city to earn their living. Household wastes were directly dumped into the canal, resulting in the very contaminated environment. It was said that the very unpleasant smell releasing from the canal was unable to be eliminated, and the living condition there would not be better. However, thanks to the advanced technology and methods as well as the city authority’s effort, everything has been changing.

Instead, the road running parallel to the canal is now full of shade of greenery and the water now is so clean that it is a friendly habitat for a variety of fish. The residents now can walk or do morning exercise on the sidewalks along the banks to enjoy the fresh atmosphere. Former inhabitants are also relocated in new apartments with much better living conditions than before. The canal creates not only a beautiful urban landscape, but also brings a lot of economic benefits to local dwellers. Because of its reformation, the city is changing fast too.

Jazz is a kind of music in which improvisation is an important part. In most jazz performances, players play solos which they make up on the spot. This type of performance requires considerable skill. Jazz is usually very rhythmic and expresses many different emotions, from pain to joy. In jazz, you may hear the sounds of freedom – for the music has been a powerful voice for black people suffering unfair treatment in America because of the color of their skin.

Jazz musicians place a high value on finding their own sound and style, and that means one trumpeter may sound very different from another trumpeter. Jazz musicians like to play their songs in their own distinct styles, and so audience might listen to a dozen recordings of the same song, but each will sound different. Jazz is about making something familiar into something fresh, something shared into something personal. Those are some of the reasons why jazz is considered ‘America’s classical music’.

Jazz developed in the United States in the very early part of 20th century.
