I’d just arrived at school, ready for another school day. I was reading a book in the classroom when there was an ___1___. “Today at 1: 10 there will be auditions (面试) for a musical.” My friends all jumped up in excitement and asked me, “Will you be going, Amy?” “Sure,” I said. I had no ___2___ in drama, but I’d try out because my friends were doing it.
At 1:10, there was a ___3___ outside the drama room. Everyone looked energetic. I hadn’t expected I’d be standing there that morning. But now that I was doing it, I ___4___ felt nervous. What if I wasn’t any good?
I entered the room and the teachers made me say some lines from the musical. They then ___5___ my singing skills and asked what role I wanted to play. The teachers were smiling and praising me. I felt like I had a ___6___, so I said, “A big role.” They said they’d look into it. I started getting really nervous. What if I didn’t get a main role?
Soon, the cast list was ___7___. My friends checked and came back shouting, “Amy, you got the main role! ” Sure enough, my name was at the top. I just stared at it and started to ___8___. I was so happy.
After two months we were all prepared and ready to go on stage. It was fun. And when people started ___9___, that gave me a boost of confidence. It stayed with me and made me feel ___10___. I realised that by trying something new, I can have fun — even if it means stepping out of my comfort zone.
