Reading

1. Knowing more than one language has helped BoA become popular in countries like Japan, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and
Singapore, as she sings in different languages and this helps her reach a larger audience.

2. If I had the opportunity to interview BoA, I would ask her the following questions:

BoA, did you ever think that you would be so successful in your music career?

Have you thought about releasing an album in the Spanish language?

What is your secret to learning different languages?

Since you were a child, did you like the world of entertainment or did you have any other profession in mind?

3. BoA was a very charismatic girl, when she was a girl she loved to participate in her school's plays. At the moment the
director of SM Entertainment found her, she knew that she wanted to be one of the greatest singers of the time.

Today BoA has managed to become the most famous singers that have existed in the Asian continent, with more than 17
albums in 3 different languages.

In the future she plans to release an album in Spanish and tour Latin American countries.

My favorite singer is Michael Jackson, from an early age I started listening to his music and I immediately felt a connection
with his songs and also his dances were unique and incredible. His music has positive messages, for example his song called
They Don't Care About Us, whose message is that it deals with racism and how people not from that country are
discriminated against. In a few words, it deals with racism and xenophobia. In addition, it mentions that we all have rights as

and he also loved his fans.
