Model Answer:

There was a time in my life when I really liked to enjoy music concerts, especially, when I was a student. But, gone are those days, and now I can only navigate through the nice memories of those concerts in order to feel good, just as I am going to do here, now.

Anyway, I enjoyed this music concert about 7 years ago. Back then, I was an adventurous and fun-loving senior high school student, trying to enjoy my life while also studying hard at the same time. When I was a high school student, I also loved to listen to different kinds of music, including audio cassettes and CDs of famous foreign singers. But, even though, I was a music lover, I never really had a chance to enjoy a live concert, be it on TV or concert venue.

Of course, before that, I had watched many concerts on TV, but they were pre-recorded. So, when a couple of my friends told me that one of the most famous singers of my country was going to come to my city to perform in a live concert in a local community centre of our city, I just didn’t want to let that opportunity pass. The availability of cheap tickets, especially for students like us, had also made it an attractive proposition for me. So, we wasted no time in buying the tickets and joining the concert. 

All kinds of music, including modern, traditional, folks, and devotional ones were sung by that great singer, who I had always admired, in perfect musical tune. The concert had continued for almost two hours, but I enjoyed every minute of it.

Well, I really enjoyed the concert, mainly because all kinds of musical instruments were used there in order to create some really appealing and unique musical tunes. Besides, I enjoyed it so much that I actually started to sing some of the songs in chorus with the singer since those songs happened to be some of my most favourites.
