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.
From Shy Girl to Pop Star
2. Read the first paragraph and answer the questions.
(1) How old is Candy Wang
(2) What was she like
She used to be really shy.
She’s 19 years old.
(3) Why did she take up singing
To deal with her shyness.
(4) What’s she like 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 attention
everywhere I go.” However, too much attention
can also be a bad thing. “I always 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.”
3. Read the second paragraph and fill in the chart.

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.”
