Adam and his friends were at school this morning. They were going out from school when they saw a post on a wall.
It was time for the annual talent contest of the high school. The talent contest is an important event where students
perform in a group or alone showing their abilities, the winners get great prices and a trophy.
Adam got so excited, he wanted to be there this year but it was his first time. He showed his friends the post and
they started thinking about Adam's talents. Adam was a very good student but also he was a pretty good dancer.
He could dance Latin music and also break dance.
James: Last year the first place was for Kellen Lee, she sang and played the piano. She has natural talent for
singing.
Adam: Yes but the second place was for a group of girls who danced very well. Guys, help me think about what
could be the best performance to win the talent show.
James: Ehhhm, let see…. Can you sing? Can you play a musical instrument?
Adam: Yes, I can sing but I'm not good at it and I can play the guitar very well but, I think I was born to be dancer.
James: Sure! What kind of music can you dance?
Adam: I can dance salsa and break dance. But for dancing salsa I'll need a couple and that is difficult to find. Why
don't we make a group performance dancing? We could be the winners. My mom won the contest talent when she
was on high school.
James: Really? What did she do?
Adam: She has a natural talent for singing. She can sing very well. She loves opera.
James: Why don't we make a group singing performance? You can play the guitar very well and I can sing. Let's ask
Klim and Jay if they wanna join us.
Adam: Yes, why not? I know Klim is a very good drummer and Jay can play the bass.
Days after they signed up the talent show and started to rehearse in Adam's garage.
