Consolidation Paper

Task 1: Select 5 words from the list below to fill in the blanks:
Only 2 of the records that are released every year sell more than 250,000 units But there’s just a very small
percentage of artists who are really making millions of dollars and most of that amount is going to record
companies and into the pockets of the artists. So to the question whether it is easy for a youngster to become a
professional musician the first thing he should understand is why he is doing it. If he’s doing it to get rich
quickly, I’m afraid to say, his chances are slim but if he has a desire to say something from his heart, then he
can have a go.
