From Rags to Riches
Liza Smythe is succesful British singer. Her smiling face appears on the covers of international magazines, and every year she travels to many different part of the world to perform concerts for millions of fans.
Ø Лиза Смит бол амжилт бүтээлтэй Британи дуучин. Түүний инээмсэглэсэн дүр төрх олон улсын сэтгүүлүүдийн нүүрэнд зочилдог ба тэр жил бүр дэлхийн олон өөр хотуудаар аялан тоглолт хийдэг, сая сая шүтэн бишрэгчидтэй.
However , life used to be very different for this bright young star from Liverpool. “ Eight years ago”, says Liza, “ I lived in a small terraced house with my parents and three brothers. It was very cramped! We didn’t have a lot of money, so I used to work as a cleaner at the local hospital to make ends meet. I used to buy my clothes from second-hand shops. I was quite plump back then, because I liked eating chips and chocolate. In my free time I used to sing in the collage choir or go for walks on the beach. I didn’t use to go to clubs because they were very expensive. I used to listen to the radio a lot of, though. I learnt all the words to every pop song and people hired me to sing at parties. My friends liked my voice a lot, so they persuaded me to send a cassette to a record company. That’s how it all started for me. Three weeks later, I received a phone call from the company and my life changed completely.”
Ø Хэдий тийм боловч, Ливэрпүлээс гаралтай энэ сэргэлэн залуу оддын амьдрал маш өөр байсан. Лизаа 8 жилийн өмнө ярихдаа: би жижиг дэвсэг болсон байшинд эцэг эх болон 3 ахтайгаа амьдардаг байсан.Тэнд маш давчуу зай муутай байсан. Бидэнд их мөнгө байдаггүй байсан.Тиймээс би орон нутгийн эмнэлэгт цэвэрлэгч хийж, амь зуулгандаа мөнгөө чүү хүргэдэг байсан. Би хувцасаа хуучин хэрэглэж байсан дэлгүүрүүдээс авдаг байсан. Тэр үед би бүр их тарган байсан. Яагаад гэвэл би чипс, шоколад идэх дуртай байсан. Би чөлөөт цагаараа коллежид найрал дуу дуулж эсвэл далайн эргээр алхдаг байсан. Би клуб руу явдаггүй байсан. Яагаад гэвэл: Тэд нар маш үнэтэй байсан. Би радио их сонсдог байсан. Хэдий тийм боловч би поп дуу бүрийн бүх үгийг сурчихдаг байсан бөгөөд хүмүүс үдэшлэгэн дээр намайг хөлсөөр дуулуулдаг байсан.Манай найзууд миний дуу хоолойнд их дуртай байсан. Бас тэд намайг дуу бичлэгийн компанид хуурцагаа явуулахыг ятгасан. Энэ миний бүх зүйлийн эхлэл байсан. Гурван 7 хоногийн дараа би компаниас хариу хүлээн авсан бөгөөд миний амьдрал бүхэлдээ өөрчлөгдсөн гэжээ.
Today, Liza lives in a large house with a big garden just outside London with her husband and young daughter. She is much slimmer now, and looks very elegant in her chic designer clothes. She is constantly on a diet and goes to the gym every day to keep her body in shape. In her free time she enjoys going to the theatre or to parties.
Ø Өнөөдөр Лиза Лондонд гаднаа маш том цэцэрлэгт хүрээлэнтэй агуу том байшинд нөхөр жижиг охинтойгоо хамт амьдарч байна. Тэр одоо жин хасаж байгаа ба дизайнерийн урласан хувцасаар гоёдог маш ганган дэгжин тэр үргэлж хоолны нарийн дэглэмтэй байж өдөр бүр зааланд тоглон биеийн галбираа хадгалдаг. Тэр чөлөөт цагаараа театр эсвэл үдэшлэгэнд очиж зугаацдаг.
Liza’s lifestyle has changed a lot since those days in Liverpool. “ I think I’m very lucky to lead the life I do today. It’s not easy, though, because I don’t have the privacy that I used to have. Still, I have a lovely family and a very promising career. What else could I ask for? ” she says.
Ø Лизагийн амьдралын хэв маяг Ливерпүүлд байсан тэдгээр өдрүүдээс хойш их өөрчлөгдсөн. Тэр хэлэхдээ “Би маш азтайгаар өнөөдрийнхөө амьдралыг тэргүүлж байна.Энэ мэдээж амар хялбар байгаагүй. Хэдийгээр тийм боловч учир нь тэр надад амр амгалан байгаагүй. Гэсэн ч хайртай гэр бүлийнхэнтэйгээ маш өндөр албан тушаалтай нам гүм байдаг. “ Өөр юу асуумаар байна” гэжээ.
