Charlize Theron 
Read a short story of a famous actress known for her strong roles in many hit movies. 
1.1
Charlize Theron was born on August 7, 1975, in Benoni, South Africa.  She is a popular actress and she is famous for her amazing acting.  Her journey from South Africa to Hollywood is full of special moments and great success. 

샤를리즈 테론은 1975년 8월 7일 남아프리카 공화국의 베노니에서 태어났습니다. 그녀는 인기 있는 여배우이며 놀라운 연기로 유명합니다. 그녀의 남아프리카 공화국에서 할리우드까지의 여정은 특별한 순간과 큰 성공으로 가득 차 있습니다.

1.2
Theron had a bad experience when she was 15.  She saw her mom shoot her dad because he was harmful.  This changed her a lot and made her see life differently.  Theron always enjoyed acting, even in hard times.  She got better at it by doing plays at school and in her town.  She showed she could be a big star. 

테론은 15살 때 나쁜 경험을 했습니다. 그녀는 아버지가 해로웠기 때문에 어머니가 아버지를 쏘는 것을 보았습니다. 이것은 그녀를 많이 바꾸었고 삶을 다르게 보게 만들었습니다. 테론은 어려운 시절에도 항상 연기를 즐겼습니다. 그녀는 학교와 마을에서 연극을 하면서 실력을 향상시켰습니다. 그녀는 자신이 큰 스타가 될 수 있음을 보여주었습니다.

1.3
Near the end of the 1990s, Theron became famous with the movie "The Devil's Advocate."  She won an Oscar for playing a serial killer in "Monster."  Theron worked hard and she played tough roles, this made her special in Hollywood. 

1990년대 말에, 테론은 영화 "악마의 변호인"으로 유명해졌다. 그녀는 "몬스터"에서 연쇄 살인범 역할로 오스카상을 받았다. 테론은 열심히 일했고 힘든 역할을 연기했으며, 이것이 그녀를 할리우드에서 특별하게 만들었다.

1.4
Theron is not just an actress; she also helps with women's rights and taking care of animals.  She uses her fame to make the world a better place.  Theron is also a mom to her two adopted children, "Jackson" and "August."  Being a mom made her kind and caring.  It helps her at work and in helping others. 

테론은 단순한 여배우가 아니다; 그녀는 또한 여성의 권리와 동물 돌보기를 돕는다. 그녀는 세상을 더 좋은 곳으로 만들기 위해 자신의 명성을 사용한다. 테론은 또한 그녀의 두 입양 자녀인 "잭슨"과 "어거스트"의 엄마이기도 하다. 엄마가 되는 것은 그녀를 친절하고 배려심 있게 만들었다. 그것은 그녀의 일과 다른 사람들을 돕는 데 도움이 된다.

1.5
Charlize Theron's journey from Benoni to Hollywood is a story of working hard, being talented, and wanting to change the world.  Her life and success inspire lots of people. 

샤를리즈 테론의 베노니에서 할리우드까지의 여정은 열심히 일하고, 재능이 있으며, 세상을 바꾸고 싶어하는 이야기입니다. 그녀의 삶과 성공은 많은 사람들에게 영감을 줍니다.

1.6
Fun fact: When Charlize Theron was growing up she spoke Afrikaans , a South African language, and then she learned how to speak English. 

재미있는 사실: 샤를리즈 테론이 자라면서 그녀는 남아프리카 언어인 아프리칸스어를 말했고, 그 후 영어를 말하는 법을 배웠습니다.
