Music has always been a great love of mine and, in my 20s, when my 1 was more manageable, I 2 ten years as a professional singer in restaurants, playing and singing folk songs. 3 that was years ago and times have changed. 4 I live with my mother on a country farm.
Two years ago, I decided that I would need to have some kind of extra work to make up for my disability pension(残疾抚恤金). 5 I needed to sleep in the afternoons, I was limited in my choices. I decided that I would consider 6 to singing in restaurants.

He placed his large hand 13 on his treasure and said,“I have 800 karaoke songs in here. You can take your pick and I' ll record them for you. That should get you started.”
I could have cried. Thanking him, I made a time with him to listen to all the songs and choose 14 that I could sing. I have come full circle with his help.
