　　Horses are strong and beautiful animals. Some are large, and others are small. Horses can travel long distances while carrying a rider. Some can also pull heavy loads. Before people had cars, they used to use horses for travel and work. Today you don't see many horses. But people still keep them and ride them for fun.

Then brush the horse so it isn't dirty. If a horse's back is dirty, a saddle can bother it. Next put a pad and a saddle on the horse's back. Finally the horse is ready to ride.

　　After being famous my life has changed a lot. There are many good things like being able to travel and meet new people. Everywhere I go I get tons of attention. However, too much attention is a bad thing. I always have to worry about how to appear to others, and I don't have to be very careful about what I say or do. And I don't have much private time anymore, when shopping with friends there are always guards around me.
　　I want to tell teenagers:if you dream to be famous, you have to give up normal life. Not everyone can make it to top. Many times I thought about giving up, but fought on. So the secret to success is hard work and strong will. Only this can you be anything one day!
