Susan Boyle was born as the ninth child in a ...

Susan Boyle was born as the ninth child in a Catholic family. She suffered from learning disabilities ever since her birth because of her mother’s poor health.

School was difficult for Susan and she was bulled(凌辱) because of her different behaviour. Her siblings, who were much older, had life experiences that were unknown to their little sister. From the time of her birth, Susan was a screamer. The only really safe place that she would use as a repeat was her bedroom. There she would hang posters of her musical heroes on the walls and sing popular music into a hairbrush that she pretended was a microphone.

One by one her brothers and sisters moved away from home and then Susan’s father died. This left her alone with an old mother and a cat. She tried volunteer work. Her best state of mind, however, was found when she was singing and so she would regularly join others in karaoke or pubs where she could show her skills and receive appreciation(欣赏)from the crowd.

When Susan announced at Christmas that she was planning to take part in the Britain’s Got Talent competition, her brothers and sisters tried to discourage her. It was a wonder that she was even able to do the audition(试唱) considering the troubles she faced just physically getting to the right place.

The Woman I Was Born to Be is a beautiful story written in the simple but humorous voice of the author, Susan Boyle. She tells her story from birth to the present in an interesting and educational manner.

I love this book ! In fact, I read the whole thing in one day! There is something in the stories that not only teaches the reader but also encourage us to reach for our dreams—no matter how impossible they may seem to be!

1.What does the underlined part “Her siblings” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

2.What can we learn about Susan from Paragraph 3?

Born as the only child in the family, I am the “king” of the family. My parents are both businessmen and they come home every two weeks. Because they don't spend much time with me，they always feel guilty (内疚的) and will buy me many expensive things and let me do whatever I want. My grandparents never let me do any chores because they want me to do my schoolwork.

I used to take everything for granted (理所当然) and I never said “thank you” to people. As time went by，I found that my classmates didn't like me and my best friends left me. One day，I asked Leo, who used to be one of my best friends. He said that I was mean (自私的)，rude and bad-tempered (坏脾气)．“No one wants to make friends with a person who always receives but never gives anything！”he said. I was shocked at his words. “Oh，no! Please don't leave. I need friends! I will be lonely and unhappy without friends！” I locked myself up in the room and cried. “I want my friends back. But how？”

Then I noticed that all the popular kids in the class are friendly to others. They always smile and say “thank you” to others. They do whatever they can to help when others are in trouble. Other kids like them and always play with them. “I need to change! I will get my friends back,” I said to myself. From then on，I started to change myself. I learned to say “thank you” to others，I smiled and volunteered to help other kids. I tried to be as nice as I could. Gradually, I found that other kids liked to talk with me and they would ask me to play with them and even told me their secrets. My friends came back to me again.

Now I have more friends than I used to have and I am happier than I used to be.
