Lesson A: the rise to fame

1: getting started:

B: Listen to the students talk about Russell Watson’s career. which comments do you agree with?

Dennis:

it’s a good thing he entered that contest.

if he hadn’t won, he might not of had the confidence to become a singer.

Brian:

and who knows what would’ve happened if he’d stayed in school?

maybe would’ve done something entirely different.

Stephanie:

well I think he would’ve found a way to be a singer; in fact, if he had continued his education, he could’ve had formal training and on an earlier start as a singer.

Ann:

Yeah, maybe. Anyway, it was pretty brave of him to quit his job.

if he hadn’t quite and gotten a manager, he might not have a singing career at all.

Kathleen:

what amazes me is that he had enough nerve to sing something from an opera in a club; if he had only some pop songs, he wouldn’t have realized how much people loved his opera voice.
