American country music is also known as country western music. It has a very long history. It comes from the folk songs of immigrants (移民) from Britain.
Country music uses simple music and words to express everyday feelings such as loneliness, love and sadness. That is to say, country music describes life. It talks about friends and enemies, trucks and roads, farms and crops. People in many parts of the world like country music, because everyone can understand what the music is about.
Country western music became popular first among cowboys (牛仔) from the American west countryside. Cowboys had to take care of cows day and night. When they were alone with the cows, they often sang beautiful and peaceful songs to calm the animals and to overcome their own fear. They were not well-educated so they sang about their daily life in very simple words. They played guitars, violins and other instruments. In the South of America, many people added instruments from their
homes, like bottles and spoons. When cowboys visited their friends and families on holidays like Thanksgiving, they usually sang and played country western music.
In recent years, many musicians have made country western music a little different from the one in the past. These changes make the songs sound even better. Today singers as Carth Brooks, Reba McEntire, Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, Eddie Rabbit, LeAnn Rimes, Randy Travis and a group called Alabama are singing and playing in different styles.

I was at the store with Mom and baby Lucy. I was looking at the pictures in the pattern(图案)book, trying to decide what to be for Halloween. I wanted to be a fairy princess (公主), but I didn’t get a chance to ask Mom to help me find that page. She was busy. All the women were bent over Lucy’s carrier. Mom wasn’t even looking at me. Lucy started to cry. Mom asked me, “Mary, have you decided yet?” Last year we picked out my costume(流行的服饰) together.
I looked down at the book and saw a picture of a kid in a banana costume. I pointed at the banana. Mom bought the banana pattern and a pea-pod(豌豆荚) pattern for Lucy.
When Mom finished making my costume, I knew I had made a mistake. Mom said it was too late. So, in the evening I was going to be at the Halloween party , a big banana in yellow tight(裤袜). “ Everyone will laugh at me.” I thought.
