Mr Robinson: Sorry, can you make it clear why we should prioritise this genre?

Ms Taylor: It’s important to keep folk music alive and make it more approachable for young people. It is through these songs that we see our cultural identity and daily life in the past. By teaching students folk music, we can show them our cultural heritage and encourage them to protect it.

Mr Robinson: What have you done so far to bring folk music to school?

Ms Taylor: I came up with the idea of crowdfunding. Recognising the importance of folk music, the online community provided enough funds for some traditional musical instruments.

Mr Robinson: OK. You convinced me.
