Translate 'she reads the book while listening to music'.
The sentence translates to: elle lit le livre tout en écoutant de la musique. The verb 'reads' translates to 'lit' in the present simple form because the action is currently happening. To express that the second action (listening to music) is happening simultaneously we use the present participle: 'écoutant'.
