Lottie Stevens won a TV talent show when she was fourteen years old. She wrote and sang a song and the judges
loved it. She beat ten other children who were all older than her. During the series she became famous and everyone
recognized her face when they saw her in newspapers or on TV. After the series finished, she and the other
participants did a tour of the UK. Lottie signed a contract with a record company and released her first album a few
months later. The new series of the talent show started at the same time and the viewers were more interested in the
new participants than in Lottie. Her album wasnt successful and soon everyone forgot about her.
But Lottie is a special girl and not just because she has a special voice. She decided to use her experience to help
others. Today she is sixteen and she works as a volunteer for a charity. She works with younger children. These
children all have problems because at some point in their lives something bad happened to them. Lottie helps them
understand that life isnt always as you plan it, but that it can always be exciting and fun. At the moment shes working
with David and theyre becoming good friends. David didnt speak for two years but now he phones and texts Lottie
every day.
