English Drama

After I took over this class (Their former teacher left this June.), my students told me that there would be an English drama contest on October, 10th. To my fright, they didn’t prepare or it at all, though they had already known the contest. It had been a long time since I instructed my students to do the drama last time. Actually, it was an exhausting task; I had to deal with the selection of characters and script, translation of the script, production of props and sets, and even the music step by step. They even asked me to take part in one of the roles, and I granted. We chose “Alice in Wonderland” as our script, and I played Alice's acid mother for they said no one could be as ironic as I. (They had modified the script.) As a matter of fact, during the preparation of the drama, I had lots of disagreement and quarrels with my students. However, to my comfort, everyone still worked together to accomplish this tough job side by side.

At last, here came the day. What a day! Everyone expected to perform well on that day, including me. However, everything was a mess due to the problems of the equipment. All of my students felt badly depressed after the contest, even though I tried to cheer them up. Actually they really did a great job, and I did take pride in them, but they cried, and so did I. I couldn’t tell you why. Maybe I already took much more pressure than I had expected and I knew I had to relieve it, so I collapsed.

Nevertheless, after a week, the ranks came out. To our surprise, we won the 2nd prize! How amazing it is! Everyone felt crazily exciting about the outcome. I deeply believe that we all have learned a lot from this experience. As long as we all get together and cooperate with each other, there's nothing we can't achieve!
