However, Rachael doesn't stop now. She has already started another story. She hopes to go on writing when she gets older. “I want to make my mark on the world,” she said.

Country music is a blend of traditional and popular musical forms. There are many branches of country music, such as Cowboy, Bluegrass and Country-rock. Country music usually talks about everyday life and feelings. It's slow, simple and easy to understand.
Country music developed in the southern United States. It was the folk music of American countryside at first. Many of the songs talked about the life of farmers there. The main topics were love, crops and death. It seemed that the sound of the violin and the guitar took people to mountains and fields when people listened to country music.
The life of the countryside could be hard, so the words in country music always sounded a little sad. In the beginning, people played country music only at family parties. But it became more popular later. In the 1920s, country music was heard on the radio, and later it was made into records.
When people in the countryside moved to towns and cities to look for work, they
took their music with them. Then country music continued to change and became popular across America.
John Denver was one of America's most famous country singers in the 1970s. His song “Take Me Home, Country Roads”is well-known and is still played by many people today.
