Its the first chance to both test your acting skills and build up your self-confidence.Although I have been deeply interested in acting from a very young age, I havent got a 13 to actually act on stage. Thats why I was so nervous for the play Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in my first year of school. After studying all the characters in the play, I chose Veruca Salt. Disappointingly, I only got a 14 with no lines. I didnt say a word at all. However, this was my first performance on stage, I still remember the feelings I had when the lights went down and I noticed that many people were there to watch.After that, I decided to 15 any difficulty next time. I did well in reading aloud in class and 1 knew I had to take good advantage of that. So when the chance of the play Pinnochio came, I made up my mind to be the narrator (旁白).
