Personal touch Does music matter much to Kevin? If yes, in what way? Q4 What does this “it” refer to? Singing./Music. Q5 How can Kevin’s talk help other children who stutter? Kevin’s talk shows how music can help, and inspires others to be calmer and more confident. 11 Further thinking C5 How do you understand Kevin’s words “Through singing, I found my voice!”? Why is it important for Kevin to share his experience with other kids who have similar experience? What lesson can we learn from Kevin’s story? Singing not only helped Kevin know the rhythm of music, but also taught him how to be calmer and more confident, which made him relax and enjoy himself. Besides, he found a way to express himself by singing. It’s important because it can give hope and practical advice to other kids, showing them that they are not alone and that they can improve. We can overcome difficulties and find ways to express ourselves confidently with the help of teachers and things we love.
