Example

My favourite band is called: 'Coldplay', the band consists of (bestaat uit) the leadsinger Chris is the most well-known member. Chris Martin also suffers from tinnitus like me and many others. I think he's an inspiration because he keeps on making music despite this medical condition. My most favourite song is 'Fix You'. It's a song about his former father-in-law who passed away (he's divorced now). In this song he sings about how he deals with the death of his father-in-law; Most of his songs are positive and his concerts are extremely energetic. He also lets his audience wear bracelets that light up according to the music.
