课文再现一：
Andy Wang used to be very shy and took up singing to deal with her shyness. Now she`s not shy anymore and loves singing in front of crowds. After she becomes famous, she has
to worry about how she appears to others and she has to be very careful about what she says and does. Hanging out with friends is almost impossible for her now, because there are always guards around her. In Andy Wang`s opinion, if you want to be famous, you have to be prepared to give up your normal life. And you really require a lot of talent and hard work to succeed. So only a small number of people make it to the top

How I’ve Changed
My life has changed a lo t in the last few years. I used to
be overweight but I`m not anymore. I lost a lot of weight after I started playing tennis. Playing tennis three times a week is very good exercise. Now I`m fitter and healthier.The biggest change in my life was becoming much better in English. Thanks to my English teacher, Mrs. Wang, who gave me an interesting book to read. I enjoyed it so much that I started to read other books. This is the most important change because I am no longer afraid of English and I am doing better in my exams. This has made my parents even prouder of me.。
