I became famous so that I went to visit Britain on a tour last month. I was there one afternoon waiting for hours to get tickets for my favorite concerts. I was confident that I could enjoy singing by the English-speaking performers. I would give them my congratulations.

　　My most exciting experience in London was singing in a TV program called "Top of the Pops. I wore an expensive suit while giving a performance to a TV camera. Nothing went wrong. I was so successful that when I went out I was always followed everywhere by lots of fans. They wore strange sunglasses. I was so worried that I wanted to hide in a railway station. I didn't want my personal life to become too painful for me. So I packed my bags and returned to Beijing last night. 3. Closing down by talking about how to begin a band

To end this period let's first read the letter by Li Hua to Freddy and Freddy's reply to Li Hua. Then let's make a conversation about how to start a band.

How to start a band A: It's exciting to start your own group or band.

B: Yes, it is. Whether you play or sing, making music with people you know is more enjoyable than trying to deal with strangers.

C: Could you give us a few pointers to help us start our band and keep it together?

B: All right. Many groups begin when friends make music together for fun.

A: But to play for an audience calls for planning and direction. B: You got it. To start, members should be chosen with everyone involved.

C: Should everyone in the group probably be at a similar level of skill and artistry?

B: Yes, they should. That way, you can spend time developing, instead of coaching a member to catch up.

A: And it's better to keep friendships together than split up over a bad experience.

C: What about the leader?

B: In any human endeavor, a leader will emerge.

A: I don't think the leader may be the best musician in the group.

B: No, he may not. A successful leader gets along with everyone and earns their respect. The job comes with responsibilities: calling rehearsals, arranging for auditions, rehearsal space and equipment, and managing performance dates. If you're serious about starting a group, pick a leader and support that person to keep everyone on the path to making good music.

C: Thank you. What about performing in front of an appreciative and knowing audience?

B: It is the dream of every musician. The sound of sustained applause is one of the most gratifying rewards an artist can receive.

A: But any great artist worth their reputation knows that the music comes first.

B: Performing is a great way to solidify your sound. It's amazing how much harder you'll rehearse when you have a date to perform.

C: And I see: Don't let expectations get ahead of our group's ability.

B: The group may not last forever. Individuals have their own paths and should be respected for their decisions. But if your group or band has a strong creative mission, it will thrive in its time.
