However, playing violin six hours a day is not a/an 46 job. “I usually 47 in an upstairs bedroom when I’m at home.” she said. “But sometimes, when it’s 48 outside, it can be upset. The house is right on the 49 and I can see others having fun 50 I’m on my own.”
Although practising is sometimes lonely, Nicola 51 felt she was lucky. “You can’t have 52 . I am really lucky to do what I love doing,” she said. Her 53 paid off (終有回報). Nicola won BBC Young Musician of the Year in 2004 at 16.
