“I’ve always loved singing and I sing whenever I can at home – usually in the shower! The problem is, I’ve always hated the thought of singing in public or even in front of my closest friends. The thought of it makes me feel really anxious. One day I heard about a school talent show, however, and I decided to give it a go. When I arrived at the contest, I walked onto the stage and I was terrified. My hands were shaking and I could hardly hold the microphone. When the music started, I was shivering all over, but I began to sing the first few words. At the beginning, it was difficult, but gradually I started to calm down and sing normally. I actually loved it and by the end, I wanted to scream with joy! I didn’t win the contest but people said I sang well. The experience boosted my confidence about my singing and now I’m thinking about joining a band.”

Перевод: «Мне всегда нравилось петь, и я пою дома при любой возможности — обычно в душе! Проблема в том, что мне всегда не нравилась мысль о пении на публике или даже перед моими близкими друзьями. Эта мысль очень тревожит меня. Однако однажды я узнала о школьном конкурсе талантов и решила попробовать. Когда я приехала на конкурс, я вышла на сцену и ужасно испугалась. У меня дрожали руки, и я едва могла удержать микрофон. Когда заиграла музыка, меня всю трясло, но я начала петь первые слова. Сначала было трудно, но постепенно я успокоилась и стала петь нормально. Мне действительно понравилось, и к концу мне хотелось кричать от радости! Я не выиграла конкурс, но люди говорили, что я хорошо пела. Этот опыт укрепил мою уверенность в своём пении, и теперь я подумываю о том, чтобы вступить в музыкальную группу».
