    When we talk about stars, especially women stars，it seems that they are always young，pretty and own charming body shapes．But recently a Britain's Got Talent（英国达人）star Susan Boyle has changed our views absolutely．
Simon Cowell，one of the judges of the talent show spoke of his shock over Ms Boyb's voice．”This lady came up，and I'm thinking, "This will take five seconds and I can go to have a cup of tea." That changed when she began to sing I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables. She knew we were going to have that reaction and just to see that look of satisfaction on her face midway through —it was one of my favorite moments,” Cowell said.
    The performance was posted On line and before long，the 47-year-old Scottish woman has been famous all over the world．Speaking from her home in Scotland．Ms. Boyle said that she hadn't thought of changing her appearance．She said that her friend helped her with make-up．“I mean，that's hardly a makeover．”she added．
    Ms. Boyle also spoke of the reason she first began to explore her vocal talents．"I was kind of slow at school, so getting something like singing was a good way of hiding behind that and thus it built my confidence."

    The nine-year-old Marc Yu is called Little Mozart. He is too short to reach the pedals (踏板) of a piano. Marc, from California, USA, says, “The problem is that my legs aren't straight enough, so I have to get very close to the piano.”
    Marc's 34-year-old mother played Beethoven's CDs to him when she was pregnant . Marc started playing the piano at a birthday party when he was only two. While the other children were singing “twinkle, twinkle, little star …”, he walked over to the piano and started playing the song. It astonished his mother, because that was the first time he'd been near a piano. Marc gave his first public performance, playing Beethoven, at six, the same age as Mozart. After that concert, Marc won a ￡225,000 university scholarship.
    At present he practices the piano eight hours a day. He also studies part-time at the famous Colbum Music School in Los Angeles, and flies once a month to China for lessons at Shanghai Music School. Marc says, “I like playing the piano because it makes me have a lot of different feelings —sadness, excitement, happiness and so on. I like playing difficult pieces, especially those that my teacher says I shouldn't.”

Patricia Casquinho is a 15- year- old girl. She was born in Portugal, but lived in Germany for years before she finally went to study in the US as an exchange student(交换生). What made Patricia interested in studying in America?

"I love watching American movies about teenagers. I come here to experience the high school life," Patricia said. However, her life in the US was not easy at first." It was hard to get used to so many different things here. But talking with my new friends made it much easier. They helped me a lot," said Patricia.

During her stay, Patricia noticed some differences between the schools in the US and Germany." In Germany, we don't have many exams like SATs or SOLs. We just have final exams. Also, there is a difference in the school timetable. The school day in Germany is shorter. Students usually start later and finish earlier. Besides, American students often take classes with different students from different grades. We don't do that in Germany. And we don't have school sports teams either," Patricia shared.

"I've played sports games on the school sports team since I came here. This is really my favorite experience in the US. And I will share my life here when I go back home," she said.
