I love singing opera. Even when I was a little girl，I dreamed of being an opera singer. I often sang with my hair brush as my microphone. My family is poor，and I never had any singing lessons. But I taught myself by listening to the radio and watching TV programs. One year，our school organized a talent show. Some students wanted to tell jokes，and others wanted to dance. I wanted to sing，but I wasn't confident. “Maybe I'm not good enough to be a singer，” I said to myself. My teacher encouraged me to take part in the show. “Your voice sounds beautiful. Believe in yourself .” I chose my favourite opera song and practiced every day. Finally，it was my turn. I stood on the big stage.
