A few years ago we moved to a new city, so I had to change schools. On the first day at my new school, I was really {#blank#}1{#/blank#} . I found it hard to make new friends and hardly said a word to anyone for {#blank#}2{#/blank#} . When the morning break started, I went outside and stood on my own. I was feeling really lonely. Towards the end of break, a girl walked up to me. She introduced {#blank#}3{#/blank#} as Monica and started chatting right away. She was also quite new at the school and we soon {#blank#}4{#/blank#} we had a lot in common. We watched the same TV shows, listened to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} types of music, and we were both learning to play the guitar. Also, we lived just a few minutes' walk from each other! 

Monica and I have been really good friends since that day. Naturally we sometimes argue like everyone does but we're very close. 

Last month, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} 18-year-old Asian pop star Candy Wang {#blank#}2{#/blank#} ( interview) by Young World magazine. She explained that when she was a little girl, she used {#blank#}3{#/blank#}( be) very shy and her parents helped her deal with the shyness {#blank#}4{#/blank#} learning to sing. As she grew up, it was not difficult for her to sing {#blank#}5{#/blank#}( public).

For Candy, she found that there were many differences after she became famous. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} it was good to get tons of attention, Candy was always worried about almost everything. For example, how to appear to others? What to say? What to do? What's {#blank#}7{#/blank#}( bad), she had to give up the {#blank#}8{#/blank#}( private) because there were lots of guards around her.

To someone who wanted to be famous, Candy suggested that he/ she {#blank#}9{#/blank#}( prepare) themselves for giving up their normal lives. Once there were many times that Candy thought about giving up, but she {#blank#}10{#/blank#}( fight) on. The road to success is always difficult.
