Betty: Tell me about the concert, Sally.
Sally: Well, we play some music all together. And then one of us plays a solo of some Irish dance music at the end of the Starsearch concert.
Lingling: A solo? You mean alone in front of everyone? Rather you than me!
Sally: Well, the orchestra will play in the background. Our music teacher will choose the best player during our final practice. And if I play well, I'll play the solo during the Starsearch concert.
Betty: And if Kylie beats you, she'll play the solo and become the star on Starsearch!
Sally: Yes, but actually, I want Kylie to win.
Lingling: Why?
Sally: Her parents have warned her about her schoolwork. If she spends too much time with the orchestra, they'll punish her and send her to a different school.
Betty: That's a shame!
Sally: And if she goes to a different school, I won't see my best friend.
Lingling: So what can you do?
Sally: If our teacher chooses Kylie, she'll play the dance music. And if she becomes a star, her parents will be proud of her, and they won't send her away.
Lingling: I see the problem!
Sally: But if I refuse to play, our teacher won't choose me. She'll choose Kylie.
Betty: But that's such a pity! You play so well.
Sally: I'll have another chance one day. And I'll keep my best friend.
