• Zhou Jielun came to my city for a concert: expensive tickets but worth it!
• Crowded + stalls (souvenirs) + stage (describe the setting)
• Fireworks + people cheered + clapped + awesome atmosphere
• Zhou = stunning musician + energetic performer + creative = tradition + modernity
• It was my first concert but = memorable. I hope to go to another one abroad.
I am a big fan of a Taiwanese singer called Zhou Jielun. Last year, he came to Fuzhou to give
a concert. The concert was held inside the open stadium of Fujian Normal University. As soon as I
heard he was coming, I called one of my friends who studies there to ask her to get me a ticket.
My friend decided to buy us two very good seats up front, and although it was a little expensive, it
was definitely worth it!
We arrived at the stadium early: we were so excited! The place was very crowded already,
and there were many stalls outside selling T-shirts and other souvenirs with photographs of Zhou
Jielun. It was around 6 pm, and we saw the sun go down just before our favorite singer came on
stage. They had arranged a big stage in the end zone of the stadium, with seats on the field and the
track, and other people sitting on benches up in the stands.
When Zhou Jielun appeared, some fireworks went off and the crowd cheered and clapped
like crazy. People were all close to each other, and the atmosphere was absolutely fantastic. He
sang his new songs, as well as his previous hits that everyone knows. So everyone sang along: it
was awesome (= great).
In addition, Zhou Jielun is a stunning musician. He plays the piano, the guitar, and the drums.
He is also a very energetic and passionate artist. He always manages to mix tradition and
modernity through his melodies and lyrics.
I had seen a lot of concerts on TV and on DVDs, but this one was the first I attended in
person. And it was a memorable one. I truly hope that I will get to see another live performance
soon again, maybe in Australia, where I plan to continue my studies.
