How to follow your dreams

by Paul Staples

I have had many years as a successful rock star, but will always remember how it all started and how I formed my first band. At sixteen I was
still growing up in a bad part of town. I didn't have any way to express myself; I was disappointed by the terrible state of the neighbourhood
and the unfairness that existed. Rich people, who had everything, lived just one mile away, while we had nothing, and could only hope for the
worst of jobs.

One night, while I was at a friend's house we found a pair of electric guitars and started playing. We pretty much taught ourselves the music,
and when a couple of other guys, who really knew how to play, joined us I knew we had something. With my songs, I could express far more
emotion and I could communicate with other people. Soon after that we set up our own band.

The songs we write are still very important to us. They're about telling others how we feel about the problems and issues around us; crime,
unemployment, exploitation, and the inequality present in the country. Of course, we are also expressing our own dreams and desires. It is
amazing to be on stage and have twenty thousand people sing the songs that you write, songs that are about people like them, and in the end,
these songs are for people like them.

Our music has been very popular and is worth listening to, as it is the ordinary people who have made it such a success. We sing what we
feel, so we're sure that if people listen to the music, they'll understand our message, too.

So my advice to anyone dreaming of becoming a rock star is to never give up! Learn how to play a musical instrument and take vocal
lessons. Put together a band and practise as much as you can. Write your own music, record it and let your friends listen to it. Play in front of
an audience. Make a Youtube channel with your music and videos of live performances. You will, sooner or later, find yourself with a larger

G. This obviously is dangerous for anybody watching, too.

H. No competitors could, at such a speed, hurt themselves.

Dangerous Fun

When we think about dangerous and extreme sports, bungee jumping or sky diving comes to mind. But did you know that there are several
festivals or events that take place around the world where people risk serious injury or even death?

The custom of cheese rolling in the UK is only one of them. It is actually so unsafe that many think it should be banned. (16)______________
C
This event takes place on a grassy hill which is too steep for a person to walk down standing up. Competitors run after a round, five-kilo English
cheese, going at speed down this hill. The cheese, which is given a one-second head start on the runners, may go as fast as one hundred and
G
twelve kilometres an hour. (17)______________ However, it is the competitors who are in the most danger as they fall down running after the
D
cheese. As you can imagine, there are broken bones and other injuries by the time this event has finished. (18)______________ However, very
few do, which means the winner is the first person to reach the bottom, broken bones or not.

And if you thought this was mad enough, go to Greece, where at the village of Vrontados people have an unusual, but extremely dangerous
A
custom. Two competing churches have an annual war. (19)______________ This attack does not happen while the churches are empty, but while
E
services are being held, so both churches are full. (20)______________ This is why this extreme tradition is also very dangerous. Nobody is sure
exactly how it got started but, whatever the history, if you feel like risking your life, these two unusual extreme customs are a good way to start.
