when partaking in Faking it program.
7. Her new identity would be called LJ, and she would be the leader of a band
called Rehab.
8. No, she didn’t. Because she and Harry were too different. She and Harry
were both strong individuals, with strong opinions, and so big
disagreements were inevitable.
9. It was a failure/She couldn't fool the judges/The judges recognized that
she was not a real rock singer because of the problems with her
preparation and her bad relationship with Harry.
10.Yes, there is. She has become more confident.

Suggested outline of all the main ideas of Recording 2:

+ Laura-Jane got accepted to become one player in Faking it program, which
surprised her. Her new identity would be LJ, and she would lead a rock
band called Rehab.
+ As someone with very little experience with rock, she went to live with
Harry, a real rockstar, for 4 weeks to learn more about rock lifestyles.
+ Laura did enjoy the training time due to her bad relationship with Harry
and her negative impression on the rock concerts Harry took her to.
+ Even though Laura later got on well with Nikki Lambourne, another singer,
and her fake band, Rehab, she was not successful with the competition.
+ After the competition, she did not change much, except for the improved
confidence.
