My Big Day

There were about 15 kids there for audition(试镜)when we arrived. I had been u1. about being late on this Big Day but the bus, which moved slowly all the way, woke up and almost galloped for the last half mile. Dad and I jumped off and ran to 171 High Street. I had e2. a shiny building but what I saw was a broken ancient door. And the room into which we all crowded was dark and didn’t have enough chairs. A boy was p3. his audition piece loudly, unaware of everyone else in the room. Most of the kids were in jeans, but a few dressed seriously cool as if they spent every day on film sets and lunching with s4. . I felt a bit embarrassed about my dressing.

A girl called us away, one by one, to be auditioned. I breathed deeply and slowly as I had learned to do-ever since my first part in the school play, when I was extremely nervous and n5. forgot everything I had memorized. I repeated my speech to myself with all the pauses and emphasizes in the right places. I knew I was good. I really wanted this part, I wanted to pay Dad back for all the work he’d done for me. I wanted to make him proud of me. And I know I could do it.

Suddenly - there it was my n6. ! I followed the girl down a corridor into a large room with three men and a woman sitting behind a long table. The woman looked up and said hello. Then the middle man looked up and stared hard at me.

"How tall are you?" he asked.

“I’m 1.6 metres.” I said, trembling slightly.

The man looked at the woman and I saw him s7. his head.

The woman turned to me and said. “I’m so sorry. That’s just a bit too tall for this part. They should have told you”

A Meaningful Gift

Time is very important in our lives. It organizes our everyday moments. However, time never had any importance in my life until I received a beautiful watch from my father. The watch organized my life and made me more responsible.

I received this gift on a gray-sky day. On that day, I had to go to the airport at 9:00 a.m. to pick up my uncle Harry and take him to my father’s house. However, I was late because I was hanging out with my friends. Later on that day, around 11:00 a.m., I remembered my uncle. But at that time he had left the airport and taken a taxi to my father’s house.

I got to my father’s house at 2:00 p.m. on the same day. Seeing my father’s angry face. I felt ashamed (惭愧的) of myself at that moment. After I said hi to my angry father and tired uncle, my father asked me to sit next to him and he handed me this watch.

Then he said, “Lisa, did you have fun with your friends today?”

I answered, “Yes, father, and I’m sorry about not picking up Uncle Harry.”

He said, “What you did was not very nice and you should be sorry for your actions.”

I was ashamed and said, “Father, I’ll never do it again. I promise.”

He said, “I hope today you learned something important, and this watch will be a reminder for you.” He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my life.

The watch taught me to respect time and never be late. That’s why it is important to me.
