Nuair a bhím saor, is fearr liom bheith ag éisteacht le ceol mar níl mórán dúile agam sa teilifís nó sna scannáin. De ghnáth, éistim le rogha leathan ceoil ach is fearr i bhfad liom popcheol nó cibé rud atá sna cairteacha. Sílim a mhór de ‘Drake’ mar is maith liom an stíl atá aige agus a chuid ceoil, ar ndóigh. Rachaidh mé chuig a cheolchoirm san earrach. Bhí na ticéid measartha daor, mar sin, bhí orm airgead a chur i dtaisce ó mo phost páirtaimseartha, ach ní miste liom mar beidh triúr de mo chairde ag dul fosta agus beidh craic ar dóigh againn ann.
When I am free, I prefer to listen to music because I don’t have a lot of interest in TV or in films. Usually, I listen to a wide range of music but I much prefer pop music or whatever music is in the charts. I like Drake a lot because I like his style and his music of course. I will go to his concert in the spring. The tickets were fairly expensive, so I had to save money from my part-time job. But I don’t mind because three of my friends are going also and we will have brilliant craic.
