Pragmatic Analysis
1.Why des the authr write the article?T tell readers hw peple can experience music whm des the authr write this article?T general readers, especially peple wh are interested in music.
What are the advantages and disadvantages f being a member f a virtual chir?
Discuss the questins belw in pairs
The advantages：The disadvantages：
The advantages f being in a virtual chir are that it is very easy t get lts f peple in different places tgether quickly and cheaply. Hwever，a disadvantage f nt having everyne in the same place is that singers cannt react t each ther in the same way as they can in persn.
Althugh a virtual chir desn’t bring peple tgether physically，I think it still helps bring peple tgether. That’sbecause they can be frm different cuntries and cultures，but still jin tgether easily t share the lve f music.
Des a virtual chir really bring peple tgether? Why r why nt?
Creative thinking
Peple frm every crner f the wrld can uplad their vides nt the Internet, which is like a great stage where peple cme tgether t sing. Different peple sing the same sng, share similar interests and values, which makes them feel like family. In the glbal cmmunity, peple can exchange feelings and thughts with each ther like real life cmmunicatin.
A virtual chir cannt have peple tgether n stage where peple can cmmunicate in persn. A virtual chir is unreal because it is just smething made up. A virtual chir cncert can’t have real actr-audience interactin.

Pragmatic Analysis
1.Why des the authr write the article?T tell readers hw peple can experience music whm des the authr write this article?T general readers, especially peple wh are interested in music.
What are the advantages and disadvantages f being a member f a virtual chir?
Discuss the questins belw in pairs
The advantages：The disadvantages：
The advantages f being in a virtual chir are that it is very easy t get lts f peple in different places tgether quickly and cheaply. Hwever，a disadvantage f nt having everyne in the same place is that singers cannt react t each ther in the same way as they can in persn.
Althugh a virtual chir desn’t bring peple tgether physically，I think it still helps bring peple tgether. That’sbecause they can be frm different cuntries and cultures，but still jin tgether easily t share the lve f music.
Des a virtual chir really bring peple tgether? Why r why nt?
Creative thinking
Peple frm every crner f the wrld can uplad their vides nt the Internet, which is like a great stage where peple cme tgether t sing. Different peple sing the same sng, share similar interests and values, which makes them feel like family. In the glbal cmmunity, peple can exchange feelings and thughts with each ther like real life cmmunicatin.
A virtual chir cannt have peple tgether n stage where peple can cmmunicate in persn. A virtual chir is unreal because it is just smething made up. A virtual chir cncert can’t have real actr-audience interactin.
