话题分析
很多考鸭看到这个题目不知道如何下手。
在回答这道题时，首先你要找到并构建一个矛盾冲突点：为什么在这个场合你不喜欢这个音乐？是因为本该安静的场合变得嘈杂了吗？还是因为一次浪漫的约会被不合时宜的bgm打乱？又或者你只想和朋友谈谈心，却被蹦迪音乐吵得说不出话？
以下几个思路供大家参考：
1. 你和相恋多年的男友分手，出来逛街散散心，可是商场播放的歌单是网抑云合集
2. 你和好久不见的朋友聚会谈心，本来选了个安静的酒吧，可是没想到这是个小夜店，音乐震得你头疼
3. 在ktv，你想和暗恋已久的女神表白，谁能想到刚要开口，你的损友在旁边为你点了一首《分手快乐》

答案示例
An event that I have experienced where I did not enjoy its music happened when my mom asked me to join the square dancing with her. The square dancing is an exercise routine performed to music in squares, parks and plazas. It is extremely popular among middle-aged and retired women who have been referred to as “dancing grannies” by some western media. Most of time, my mom danced with these dancers after dinner and sometimes they would even dance until midnight. The music they played was so loud that it could be ear-splitting. As for what kind of music it was, I felt that most of them were pop and sometimes it would be jazz or country music.
When it comes to what I did after being exposed to the music, honestly I was annoyed by the noise and soon escaped from the crowds. Afterwards, I told my mom that I would never go to the square with her again. Regarding the reasons why I did not enjoy the music, for one, I was the kind of person who could be easily influenced by the environment. The loud sounds with strong beats could make me feel quite anxious. In addition, I could not dance and I was not interested in being part of the square dancers. So there is no reason for me to stay there to be disturbed by the high volume of such musical accompaniment.

While for the old, they may prefer the music with gentle rhythm like jazz, soul and country music.
