My class will put on a short play in English at the end of the year . Yesterday our English teacher gave us copies of the play.
“Choose a character in the play whom you’d like to be ,” she told us . “This evening learn a few lines of this part for homeworks. Then tomorrow you can say those lines in front of the class. I’ll decide who’ll play each part.”
I wanted to have one of the bigger parts in the play , so I chose the part of the king. He has a lot of lines to say. I learned most of them by heart.
This morning in our English lesson we had to say our lines. I acted the part of the king. When I said my lines, I put a lot of expression into my acting . I thought I acted really well.
Everyone in the class read a part and then the teacher decided who would play each part.
Many of the students in my class couldn’t act at all . They couldn’t even read without making lots of mistakes . I was sure that I would get a big part in the play.
However, the teacher gave me the part of a soldier. He has only one line. It is , “Yes, sir!”
I was very disappointed. At the end of the lesson I went up to her and asked her why I had such a small part.
“You put too much expression in your acting,” she said. “Good acting is not big acting. It is acting the audience can believe in .”
I think I know what she means.
谢谢!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
