-- Yes, that’s all she does. She’s up at four in the morning, and by five
she’s already at the ice rink(溜冰场). She puts in two
full hours of practice before going to school. Then after school, she
practices for another three hours with her partner(搭挡).
-- That’s a crushing(了不起的) routine. How does she do it?
-- No pains, no gains. She wants to be a champion ice skater, so she’s
working hard to perfect her technique and skills. At this rate she’ll make it by
the time she’s out of high school. Maybe even sooner. She is one determined
young lady. She knows that without great effort and discipline she’ll never
achieve her goal.

by the annual Art Singapore Contemporary Asian Art Fair.
Running from April 8 – 12, 40 art spaces will open their doors to galleries
from around Asia, showing works ranging from paintings and sculptures to
ceramics and installations by some of the biggest names in the region, including
