1. Things have never been the same since our daughter Sophia, whos 15, discovered Eminem. He has taken control of our life, our house and our daughter. At first, she just read his life story in magazines, collected his photos and walked around happily attached to her personal CD player. 2. Then, last November, I got a phone call at work. Mum! He is playing a concert at Wembley Arena! Can I go with my friend Rebecca? I wanted to please her, so I agreed. But it was only later that I started to worry. Terrible scenes passed quickly through my mind. I imagined my little girl in a big crowded place. I worried what would happen if she got separated from her friend. Perhaps I should accompany them, I wondered.3. So before I booked tickets, I phoned some friends and I asked about their daughters first concert experience. All advised me to wait for her outside, in a caf at Wembley. When the ticket finally arrived, she felt so excited. I understand her reasons although its twenty years since I went to a concert myself.4. To be honest, now Eminems concert is so near, I wish I could go myself. I know the words of his songs, thanks to my daughter singing along and the rapper looks respectable after all. EminemI- Reading Comprehension (6 marks)1. Which is the best title for this text?
