Bob: Are you OK ? Why do you pull a long face ?
Jay : I just won second prize in class this semester. My parents
were mad at me.
Bob: Good for you! I never got any at junior high. They push you too hard. No one is always No. 1.
Jay : In their mind, we students should study hard all day, or we won’t be successful in the future. I even don’t have free time for a club.
Bob: Poor you! For students, to study is important, but not everything. Did you read about the story of Jam Hsiao? Jam didn’t do well on school subjects because he had reading difficulties(困難) when he was young. However, because he had a gift for singing, he worked hard to remember lyrics(歌詞), including(包括) English songs, and practice singing skills. In 2007, after joining the singing competition(比賽), One Million Star, he started his singing career(生涯) and becomes a world-famous pop music superstar now.
Jay: Really !? I’m his big fan. Maybe I need to talk with my parents and hope they’ll change their ideas.
Bob: Go give it a try! Perhaps it will work someday.
