Design a reading lesson with three stages as required.

Imagine that you would teach this text to a senior middle school class; think about the pre-reading activities you might design for it. [The original text is provided for the reference of markers]

So you want to be a pop star?

So you dream of becoming a pop star, do you? What is the best way of getting a contract with a record company—sending in a demonstration tape (“sending a demo”), or doing concerts (“gigging”)?

This question is like asking which came first, the chicken or the egg? According to Eddie Lee, drummer with a group called Cool Shadows, in Shanghai, both demos and gigging are equally important. “Playing in gigs gives you good practice,” he said, “and there is just a chance—a small one—that someone from a recording company might be there to hear you. But you can’t rely on that: you have to send in demos too—that’s the only way you can hope a top executive might hear your music.”

But Tony Ho, who has played in several different bands in Guangzhou, believes that playing in gigs is very important. “You never know when a agent for a company is likely to turn up,” he says. “They hear your music, and they see you in action; if they like both, then you are in with a chance.”So what about demos? “Most of them are just thrown away,”he says. “They get hundreds of demos every year. There’s no way they can listen to all of them!”

Tammy Liu plays in an all-girl group in Beijing. “It’s not what you know—or what you do; it’s who you know!”she says. “It’s all about guanxi. Some of the stuff that gets released is

rubbish—you can be sure that the group is related to someone big in the recording studio!”

We asked a senior executive in the music business in London about this. “Look, music is big business,” he said. “No company is going to sign on people with no talent, just because they are the chairman’s son-in-law!” So what is his advice?

“Most record companies are looking for two things—talent, and enthusiasm. The best way to get noticed by a record company is by signing up with a good management agency. A good agency has got all the right contacts in the music industry. That’s what the Spice Girls did. They would never have succeeded by sending in a demo on cassette!”

A good manager has the respect of management agencies, and can save a group of wannabes a lot of time. But you still have to make good music—music that people want to listen to. And you need to get the right equipment—good instruments, and so on—and a good presentation. That means you must not just sound right—you must look right, and have a good relationship with your audience.

Even then, your chances of success are small. Everyone in the business is sure of one thing: don’t give up your studies, and don’t give up your job, if you have one. Even if you succeed, the chances of your lasting a long time are very small!
