Are you good at singing or dancing? Can you ride a unicycle(独轮车),do magic tricks,drink a glass of milk in ten seconds, or recite poems from memory in a short time? If you can do one of these things, well, you've got talent, my friend! And it's the best time for you to show it at the school talent show!
Middle school talent shows in the US happen every year. Whatever you're good at, you have five minutes to show yourself to the world. The school talent show usually happens at the beginning of the school year and every kid has a chance(机会) to become a little star. The shy boy who spends his evenings practicing Spanish guitar will surprise his classmates with beautiful music. The sport y girl on the soccer team will ama ze the crowd with her sweet singing voice. Everyone has a chance to shine.
Almost anyone can do almost anything in a talent show. As long as your act isn't rude or illegal(不合法的), you can show yourself freely.
On the day of the show, all the students sit in the school gym and ready to cheer for their classmates.
Many of today's stars started their careers (职业) in school talent shows—Madonna,Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake all showed their skills early in life. Though you're not Justin Bieber, you can become a star in your own right at your middle school talent show.
