complete the gaps. There is one phrase that you won't need to use.

_______ , you'll sing! It's a way of expressing our feelings relaxing and forgetting our
problems. That's why so many of us get addicted to karaoke!
Karaoke started over 30 years ago in the Japanese city of Kobe. It became a traditional way for
businessmen to relax. , they would go to a karaoke bar and sing to reduce
their stress levels!!!
_______ get up and sing, but are too nervous, you'll be glad to know that everyone
can sing. It's just a matter of picking the right songs for your voice, a little practice, and you'll soon
have the courage to be on stage.
David Holmes, from MTV, has a karaoke show and gives this advice to people who want to
be good at karaoke sessions:
2. Don't be embarrassed ! You don't have to be a great singer - karaoke is for fun - the more
you sing, the better you get!
3. Know your limits. Celine Dion, you probably would be Celine Dion!
If you don't have a great voice, stay away from songs that require a great voice.
4. _______ intimidated at first, ask one of the other singers to join you on stage.
