Today, there are many child stars on TV. They appear in many dramas, entertainment shows and commercials. The number of children who want to be stars is increasing. What do you think about this?

Let¡¯s take a look at a discussion and think about it.

So-hyun: Hey, Sun-mi. Did you watch ¡°Secret Garden¡± last night? I like Ha Ji-won so much. I want to be a great TV star like her. I will take an audition next week. If I get selected, I will be on TV. If I don¡¯t make it this time, I will try other auditions.

Hae-sun: I understand that you want to be an actress. But you are still young. You can start acting when you get older. It is more important to study hard and make good friends at our age.
So-hyun: But if you are sure about your dream and what you want to do in the future, it can be better to work for it at an early age. You may have a better chance of success, don¡¯t you think? Also, you can still do your studies and make friends even if you do acting.

Hae-sun: You have a point. But becoming a popular star is really difficult. You have to know that. You can feel sad and have bad feelings if you fail to become a big star. That can cause problems in your life.

So-hyun: But as you know, there are also many stars that started acting when they were kids. They are my role models. If they were able to do it, why can¡¯t I? I am sure I can become successful like them.

Hae-sun: All right. Good luck with your audition next week. I hope you get the role.
