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 afternoon learn a few lines of
this part for homework. Then tomorrow you can say those lines in front of the class. I'll decide who play
each part."
I wanted to have one of the bigger parts in the play, so I choose the part of the king. He has a lot of lines
to say. I learned 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 told us 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 muchexpressionin 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.
