Amanda Miller is a young new star. Read the text below and see how
she became famous. Then, in pairs, make sentences:
Amanda found an acting website, Moviex.com. She posted
her profile and picture. A talent agent called her. She was cast
as an extra in a small film. She did such a great job in the film
that she was offered a role in a major motion picture.
Because of the role she became famous. Now she is
a well-paid actress. Sadly, however, she doesn’t
have time to see her friends, photographers follow
her to take pictures and magazines print false
stories about her.
Read the text. Choose the proper grammar form for the capitalised words and fill
in the gaps.
