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 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.1. What did the boy want to do in the play?A. To get an important partB. To organize the playC. To get a large acting part.D.

If they move it to the end of the field, they receive six points(点).It is difficult to move the ball. Eleven men on the other team try to stop the man with the ball. If he does not move the ball ten yards, his team kicks the ball the other team.Each university wants its own team to win. Many thousands of people come to watch.
