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.

Read Paragraph 1 and fill in the blanks.
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.”

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.”
From Shy Girl to Pop Star
Read the last part and answer following questions.
According to Candy, what are
difficulties on the road to be a successful pop star

1. The one who wants to be a pop star has to be prepared to give up his/ her normal life. And one must have great talent and work harder.
2. It is not easy to success. We should fight on when we think about giving up. God help those who help themselves!
