Tips:
“Topic sentence”(主题句) is often at the beginning or the end of each paragraph.
For this month’s Young World magazine, I interviewed 19-year-old Asian pop
star Candy Wang. Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up
singing to deal with her shyness. As she got better, she dared to sing in front of
her class, and then for the whole school. Now she’s not shy anymore and loves
singing in front of crowds.
I asked Candy how life was different after she became famous. She explained
that there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people all
the time. “I didn’t use to be popular in school, but now I get tons of ttention
everywhere I go.” However, too much attention can also be a bad thing. “I lways
have to worry about how I appear to others and I have to be very careful about
what I say or do. And I don’t have much private time anymore. Hanging out with
friends is almost impossible for me now because there are always guards
around me.”
What does Candy have to say to all those young people who want to become
famous “Well,” she begins slowly, “you have to be prepared to give up your
normal life. You can never imagine how difficult the road to success is. Many
times I thought about giving up, but I fought on. You really require a lot of talent
and hard work to succeed. Only a very small number of people make it to the
top.”
