（A）

When I was told to play for a drama competition, I became nervous. I had never done anything like this before. But after reading Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, I was exited about what was to come. The story was great and the sentences were so funny. I wanted to give it a go. I was playing Sir Toby Belch, a very funny old knight（骑士）. I had to remember a lot of sentences and very funny old words. I worked hard in order to act well, like a real knight from the old days. But the most difficult job was to be funny in all my acting. This is quite different from the way I am in real life. “OK. It’s time to be a different me now!” I said to myself. At first, I couldn’t do anything naturally. I don’t know what to do when acting in this silly way. But I always told myself that I was Sir Toby now and I should forget who I really was. Even when I was in the bath, I was thinking about Sir Toby’s words and actions and trying to do everything like Sir Toby did.

The competition day finally came. When it was my turn to perform, I took a deep breath and began my part. I tried hard to make my words clear enough to be understood and my actions funny enough to make everybody laugh. When the results were finally read out, I immediately knew we had won first prize. I made it.

From this experience, I’ve come to know that I can be a different person. It doesn’t mean I’ve changed my personality, but I can do something I had never imagined possible.

B. being funny in my performance C. to remember many sentences

D. to learn about Sir Toby Belch’s personality 29. In what order did the following events happen?

a. I tried my best to think about the words and action of Sir Toby Belch. b. I couldn’t play the part naturally.

1. She inn

It is probably the most ideal place for you to have a chat with your besties. A fully transparent glass house with a balloon wall of color champagne and a ball pit of Tiffany blue, isn’t it a dreamlike place? Beside the ball pit are a line of cute tents, in which you can grab a cup of coffee, have some snacks and share the happy moments with your friends.

2. Time Postoffice

In the era when smart phones prevail, most of us have not picked up pens to write letters for a long time. The items in the Time Postoffice, however, may evoke your desire to write a letter again. A red mailbox, a telephone booth, varied certificates of merit and an old bicycle of the 1970s are all reminders of the old times.
