Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers(揚(yáng)聲器)and play the music loudly as they drive on the street. Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, politics, and activities of the American people. But most of the radio broadcast is music. Pop or popular music singers make much money.
