Unit4 I used to be afraid of the dark SectionA 3a-3c Learning Objectives ①To find out the main idea of each paragraph ②To know how to use the words and phrases: get tons of attention, guard, crowd, dare to do, private time… ③To tell the changes in the past and now. From Shy Girl to Pop Star 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 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.” Young World For this month’s Young World magazine, I interviewed two famous people.
