When I was told to play for 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 sentenced 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.
\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 Tony'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 does't mean l've changed my personality, but I can do something I had never imagined possible. （1） Why did the author feel nervous?
