TASK I. Read and translate the text:
Show business
Reginald Dwight was born in 1947 in Pinner a suburb of London. Despite being a rather shy and unhappy child he showed a great talent for music. He started taking piano lessons at a very early age and when he was only eleven he was awarded a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music. In 1961 Dwight joined a local amateur group called Bluesology led by another bluesrock fan called John Baldry.
In 1967 Dwight left Bluesology to follow a solo career. He decided that as a solo artist he needed a more attractive name so he changed it, combining the first name of bluesology saxophone player Elton Dean with the first name of the band’s leader. From that moment Reginald Dwight became Elton John. Realizing that his main talent was for writing music rather than words, Elton formed a partnership with the songwriter Bernie Taupin. Together they produced some of the most successful pop music records of the 1970s.
As well as being a successful recording artist Elton was also a great live performer. He gave concerts all over Britain and America including one in Los Angeles which attracted over 110 000 fans.
Having reached the very top of his profession, Elton John Decided to give it all up and devote himself to other things.
Elton is still very much in the public eye and rarely out of the tabloid newspapers. There have been reports about his battles with drugs, alchohol and depression as well as his weight and baldness problem.
