[A] Have you ever faced a time when things looked dark① and you had no hope at all？【2】 Two years ago, I was told I had a serious disease② which was difficult to cure. My body ached③ all the time and thus I thought I didn't have much longer to live. I was very afraid and I felt so alone and discouraged④. Then one day, I had to go through a two-hour medical treatment⑤. The doctor wanted me to relax, so he had me listen to some music, and one of the songs was “Happy”. The song made me feel so much better that from then on⑥ I began to listen to music all the time.【3】 [B] John A. Logan said, “Music is the medicine of the mind.” And it's true. Music helped me recover.

Of course, I hope none of you have to go through the same kind of suffering? that I did.【5】 At the same time?， we all go through various? periods when we feel sad or alone.
