1. READING TEXT

Pop sensation Justin Bieber used to slum it in a 'small, shabby apartment' after his parents split. Justin has opened up about his rags-to-riches story that made him one of today's biggest stars. And the 16-year-old Baby singer said it was a tough time when his parents separated. He told Top of the Pops magazine: "My parents split up when I was really young I grew up with my mum — and not much money. "After my parents split up, mum and I lived in a small, shabby apartment but despite our financial situation we were always a good team." The Canadian singer added: "It's sad for a kid when a parent leaves, it doesn't make you feel very good but now being in the position that I am, when I look back, it's like 'I'm so blessed.'" Nowadays Bieber goes from strength to strength with hundreds of live shows and his role in TV show CSI.
