Chloe Hanslip
Chloe was born in England. Her father works with computers and her mother teaches
dance. Chloe began playing the violin when she was two. Her parents bought her a
special violin which was small enough for her to use, and, even at this age, she could
play without help. Her sister Virginia, who was nineteen at the time, played the piano
and, after Chloe heard her play something, she tried to play it on her violin. From the
age of four, she played at a number of concerts in Britain and America and in 1999
she was a child violinist in the Hollywood film Onegin.
10 | P a g e
Many teachers offered to give Chloe lessons but when she was seven she met
Professor Zakhar Bron. She was certain from the beginning that he was the right
teacher for her. His work takes him around the world and each year Chloe flies
thousands of kilometres to get to his classes.
Chloe was only fourteen when she made her first CD, but she says she is just like any
other teenager. 'I have lots of friends and I love pop music. Getting better on the violin
is important, but I also make sure I have time for other things.'

Last week, Rob Stone, the famous British actor and star of many Hollywood films,
had a party for his 53rd birthday. Rob invited a lot of other actors to his beautiful
home for his party. After dinner, he stood up and spoke to everyone there. He told
them about something that happened when he was at school 40 years ago. As a
schoolboy, Rob loved the theatre and he was very happy when he had his first part in a
play. It was a very sad play by Shakespeare, the sixteenth-century English writer.
Rob played the part of an old man who had to die on stage. He practised and practised
to become good at the part. He had to lie on a bed, say a few sad words of goodbye to
his sons and then shout in pain and die.
Like all the other parents, Mr and Mrs Stone came to watch their son in the play. Rob
told his guests, 'I shall never forget that evening. It was terrible. As I died, I could hear
my father laughing! I still remember now how bad I felt and I have not asked my
father to one of my plays since.'
