II- Read this conversation and answer the questions

Reporter: Your group, The 5 Cs, is now famous around
the world with several hits. So, how did the
band start?
Connor: I posted a note on the bulletin board at our
high school asking for musicians. The band
was formed from the group of hopeful
candidates that turned up at my home.
We called it Revolution.
Reporter: Do you still have the original members?
Connor: Yeah. Charlie on the drums, Chris on the
keyboard, Carlos on the bass, and me on the
guitar and doing vocals.
Reporter: What about Cliff ? When did he join the band?
Connor: He came along a few months later. He used to
sing with another band, but he wasn’t into the
kind of music they played. So he joined our
group, and we changed the name to The 5 Cs.
Reporter: Where did you rehearse, and where did
you play?
Connor: We used to rehearse in my garage, and we
played as many shows as possible to get our
name out there. At fi rst, we even had to play for free.
Reporter: When did your fi rst big break come?
