    PAST SIMPLE

    Read Avril's biography and answer the following questions

    Anything but ordinary. That's putting it mildly when describing Avril Lavigne. A
    skater-punk, a dynamic spirit, a true wild child. One of those rare creatures
    who started wowing people with her voice and character at around age 2.
    A small-town kid who couldn't sit still in class but had the confidence and
    determination to take off, virtually on her own, to improve her songwriting
    skills in New York City and Los Angeles. A startlingly up-front and outrageous
    17-year-old with everything it takes to reach stardom-completely on her own
    terms.
    "I'm just coming out and I'm going to clearly be myself-I write what I feel, I
    never worry what others think,” Avril says. "I'm gonna dress what's me, I'm
    gonna act what's me and I'm gonna sing what's me."
    Avril was born in Nappanee, Ontario. A middle child who "always wanted
    to be the center of attention, I always knew this was what I had to do," she
    says. "I remember when I was really young, standing on my bed like it was a
    stage, singing at the top of my lungs and visualizing thousands of people
    surrounding me." She sang whenever and wherever she could - starting in
    church singing gospel music, and on to festivals, then singing country music
    at fairs and talent contests - until she was discovered by Arista Records.
    At 16, she moved to Manhattan and began work on her debut CD. Avril
    plunged into the creative process. "I love writing," she explains. "When I get
    upset and really need to get it out of me I go to my guitar. Sometimes I feel like
    my guitar is my therapist."
    Although Avril virtually lived in the studio during that New York period,
    her efforts didn't pay off at first. "I started working with these really talented
    people, but I just wasn't feeling it; the songs weren't representative of me," she
    admits. "Then they started talking about having people write for me, but I had
    to write myself. I had to do my music. It was a really stressful time, but I never
    considered giving up." Instead, she changed coasts. Los Angeles gave Avril
    the fresh start she needed.
