Script:
1.
I had a back injury a few years ago, so I’m not as active as I used to be, liking hiking
or mountain climbing. Most of my interests are things I can do at home, like reading
books or the newspaper. I used to like birdwatching but now only from my window.

2.
I used to play the guitar a lot when I was younger, but I don’t play much anymore.
Now I enjoy playing in a band. We call ourselves Little Stars. We’ve been practicing
for a few months in the hall at our school, and hopefully we’ll be hired at bars and
pubs soon. Maybe we’ll become famous! We all have a great time. I like doing things
with my boys in the band – that’s what I like best about it.
3.
I played a lot of computer video games after high school, but I stopped them a while
ago. I think my eyes got worse playing them over the years. In university, I formed a
band. It was great at first, then two of the members went to study abroad, so we
disbanded. Now I prefer hiking and camping in the winter. It is a great way to be
healthy and to enjoy nature. When I am not outdoors, I love surfing the internet. I can
find out about all kinds of things. It’s one of my favourite pastime to do.

4.
I always loved drawing as a kid, so for a long time I wanted to participate in Japan-
Myanmar exchange program, selected candidates got to visit Japan. I tried to do it
for a few years, in high school, but it was really hard to be chosen. After all, they
chose only two. Now, I’m happy just writing. I’ve won a few prizes, too – in essay
competitions. What I enjoy most is creating stories. It makes me so happy.

5.
My father taught me how to play chess in second grade. I lost interests as I found it
hard to find partners to play with me. I joined a yoga class a month ago, but the thing
I enjoyed most was just eating out and watching movies after class.

When it comes to the most in-demand concerts of the summer,

there’s Taylor Swift and then there’s everybody else.

The “Style” singer is the hottest act of the season according

to StubHub, which on Friday released its 2023 Summer Tour
Preview.

StubHub ranked artists based on their cumulative ticket sales as of

May 26 for concerts taking place between Memorial Day and Labor
Day.
Swift is the undisputed No. 1 on the list, with tickets for her 24
“Eras” tour dates this summer selling for an average of $920 apiece.

The average cost of entry for the 33-year-old’s concerts on the

resale website dwarves the rest of the competition, with no other
artist in the top 10 having a ticket price higher than $370.

In fact, the $920 average selling price is a bargain in some

locations. Tickets for her concerts at MetLife Stadium outside New
York City this weekend are selling for a minimum of $1,100, with
some sellers asking for well over $10,000.

Beyoncé, meanwhile, comes in a strong second place, with 42 dates

for her “Renaissance” world tour selling for an average of $322
each, according to StubHub data.

“What we’re seeing is female artists dominating our total sales,”

StubHub spokesperson Adam Budelli tells CNBC Make It.

In fact, StubHub reports that Swift, Beyoncé and No. 7 PINK — with
her 33 tour dates selling at an average of $231 per ticket — are
outselling the seven male artists in the top 10 by 50%.

These are the 10 most in-demand acts of the summer.

a) sales of tickets
