VP Articles: How Does Playing Music At Work Improve Your Productivity?
INSTRUCTIONS: BEFORE STARTING THE ACTIVITY, MAKE SURE TO READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.
Use Loom to record yourself while reading the article aloud. You may split the reading part into as many recordings as necessary. In your Virtual Professionals notebook, write down at least three songs and their artists that you like.
If you were to recommend those songs to your workmates, explain why. If possible, share a lyric from each song that has had a significant impact on you. For example, “Heaven Help Me” by Zach Williams is a beautiful and uplifting song because it speaks about those moments when we feel overwhelmed, unsure, or just worn out by life. The key lyric, “When I don’t understand, when I don’t think I can, I know You have a plan,” captures that honest feeling of surrender—recognizing that we don’t always have the strength or answers, but trusting that there’s a greater plan at work. It’s a reminder that we’re not alone in our struggles and that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Overall, it’s a comforting melody for anyone needing hope and reassurance. Your answer should be composed of at least 200 words.
Do not use ChatGPT or any AI tools to generate your output. However, you may use ChatGPT to check the grammar.
