Sample passage:

　　Michael Jackson is one of America's most successful singers. He's also well-known for his dancing.

　　He started singing in 1965. He made his first record in 1970. Nobody knows how many records he has sold all over the world. One of his records sold seventeen and a half million copies.

　　Michael was born in 1959. He has four brothers. The five of them used to sing in a group called "The Jackson Five". They started singing in public in 1965. In 1970 the group made their first record; it was called "I want you back". It was very successful. In America it was Number 1 and in Britain it was Number 2. They had three more hits in the same year.

　　In 1978 Michael acted in his first film. The first record which he made on his own sold eight million copies in the world. This was the beginning of his success.

　　Michael doesn't go out much. He is too well-known. He lives in a large house and keeps lots of animals. He never eats meat.
