Listening station

A listening station is a place where you can listen to music or other sounds using headphones or speakers. It's like a special place where you can enjoy your favorite songs, stories or sounds without disturbing others around you.

Imagine you and your friends are in a big room and want to listen to music, but you don't want to bother other people around you. You can go to a listening station where you will find a special listening machine.

The listening machine is like a little computer that has special music or sounds loaded onto it. You put on headphones, which are like ear hats that go over your ears to help you hear better, and then you can start the listening machine by using special buttons.

Once you start the listening machine, you can hear the music or sounds clearly in your headphones, and no one else can hear it because it's only playing in your ears. That way, you can sing along or dance without worrying about bothering anyone around you.

Listening stations can be found in different places like libraries, museums, or music shops, so if you ever want to explore new sounds or music, you can visit one of these places and enjoy them in peace, just like you would at home.
