When we talk about stars, especially women stars ,it seems that they are always young, pretty and own charming (迷人的)body shapes. But recently a Britain’s Got Talent（英國(guó)達(dá)人）star Susan Boyle has changed our views absolutely (完全地).

That changed when she began to sing I Dreamed to Dream from Les Miserables. She knew we were going to have that reaction and just to see that look of satisfaction on her face widway through –it was one of my favorite moments,” Cowell said.

The performance was posted on line and before long,the 47-year-old Scottish woman has been famous all over the world.

Speaking from her home in Scotland, Ms Boyle said that she hasn’t thought of changing her appearance. She said that her friend helped her with make-up. “I mean, that’s hardly a makeover,” she added.

Ms Boyle also spoke of the reason she first began to explore her vocal talents, “I was kind of slow at school, so getting like singing was a good way of hiding behind that and thus it built my confidence.”

Have you heard the saying“If you can't find it, build it”？Well，that’s what Maddie Bradshaw did. The 17-year-old girl is from Texas, USA. When Maddie was going to middle school and she couldn’t find fun magnets(粘貼畫) for her school locker(寄存柜), she decided to make one by herself.
