馬波羅女中高一的女孩柯拉拉 (Clara van wel)，今年七月才擊敗291名學生拿下當地科學展的頭籌，除了學業優異以外，她從小愛唱歌，十歲那年聖誕禮物是把吉他，從此迷上音樂，自己作曲彈唱，創作題材擷自小說和幻想，小小年紀已有五十多首原創曲。十四歲的柯拉拉參加紐西蘭星光大道比賽，在五千人中脫穎而出，初試啼聲，以鄰家女孩的純樸、清越的音色和不俗的原創詞譜，引起我的注意。
上周入圍決賽十二名*，她唱這首原創曲: Where do you find love，我感動到無以復加，立刻用手機簡訊投下生平第一遭的歌迷票。
這首歌以少女純真情懷，問世間情歸何處，清新的風格，民歌般的旋律，婉轉的尾音，深深打動人心，是首足以傳世的傑作! 她演唱完，裁判之一，Opshop 的主唱傑森當下脫口而出:「我想就是妳了!」(I think you are it) ，另一位裁判超模瑞雪則評論她: 「渾身散發巨星氣質!」
今晚我守在電視前看星光大道，當主持人宣布紐西蘭第一屆才藝達人就是她，我跟著現場觀眾鼓譟叫跳，興奮難持，為這小國寡民崇尚創意、不趨高調之風喝采，我那99分錢的簡訊沒白花! 她獲得的獎金十萬元說是要存銀行生利息，新車鑰匙雖到手，得等一年後才能考駕照。
柯拉拉的偶像是海莉薇絲特拉和Bic Runga，我以為小妮子將來的成就可能要青出於藍。且拭目以待!

Hi, could you please tell me how to post Youtube on here! Thanks!
1. Go to http://help.pixnet.tw/index/category?category_id=3 2. on page 7 of 部落格分類，click "如何在文章中插入影音" - partB - 插入站外影音 3. follow the steps. One thing not mentioned there but crucial is to click on HTML button (upper left on your edit panel), then insert the embedded code which you copy from youtube (share) to the place you desire. Take a while to master the trick. Once done, return back to normal editing by unlocking HTML. Good luck!
Thanks, will try
