how did Lana become famous? practice the conversation.

Look, Lana is at the Swan club! you haven’t seen her show yet, have you?

No, but I love to go. she’s a blues singer, isn’t she?

actually, she’s an up-and-coming Rockstar.

she’s been in the headlines a lot recently.

Really? I guess I’m a little out of touch…

she was on the talent show and since then careers really taken off.

oh, I know who she is; she won the show this year, didn’t she?

Yeah, she did. last year she was a student and now she’s making headlines as a rock singer. it’s amazing, isn’t it?

she must’ve had connections.

I don’t think so. she got discovered in a karaoke club by one of the show’s producers; she was just in the right place at the right time.

I wonder what happened to the guy who won last year; Java Thomas.

he’s kind of dropped out of sight, hasn’t he?

well he got a lot of bad press when he got caught shoplifting.

Shoplifting? that wasn’t too smart, was it?

No, it wasn’t. and his career has really gone downhill.
