Emily [?] (love) to sing as a child. Teachers were quick to notice Emily's talent, and soon enough she [?] (sing) solos in school concerts. Emily never [?] (think) about being nervous on stage. The excitement of singing a favorite song [?] (overcome) any performance anxiety. Before all those school concerts, she [?] (sing) at family gatherings many times, so why not sing if her teachers asked her to?

Today it's no surprise that Emily [?] (have) a vocal coach. She[?] (work) with the coach since the age of ten. Next year, Emily [?] (start) high school, and I'm sure we[?] (see) more of her on stage. Lead roles in musicals usually [?] (go) to older students, but don't be surprised when the director [?] (give) her the lead in the spring musical after her first audition.

Some people [?] (be) born to perform. Emily is one of them. I[?] (hear) many other young singers, but they [?] (not have) the kind of talent that thrills me as much as Emily's. I wish her luck. I think by the time she's reached adulthood, she[?] (find) a way to sing professionally.
