“One of my actors is sick! He has just one line and you’re the only one who fits his clothes!” One afternoon, the school drama director suddenly shouted to me. She seemed so nervous and worried that I felt sorry for her and said, “Ok”.

“You will be fine. It's easy!” She said. But it wasn’t easy at all. On the stage, four other actors and actresses spoke their lines, and I opened my mouth. Nothing came out. I couldn’t even breathe. I just wanted to leave. The next thing I knew, I was running off the stage.

As I was running off the stage, I accidentally knocked over a glass of grape juice that was on a table. The purple juice hit the girl next to me --- Andrea, the leading actress of the drama. She gave me a nasty look. I thought she was going to kill me!

But then, Andrea quickly said, “Darling, you’re so silly! Let's toast(干杯) to my darling’s silliness! Cheers!” She grabbed another glass of grape juice and drank it. The other actor quickly followed Andrea’s lead and saved the scene. The audience thought my mistake was part of the play!

I apologized to everyone after the play. To my surprise, they were not angry with me. They told me, “It’s all a part of being on stage.” I could be wrong, but I think I liked being on stage. I think I will try again.

"An Englishman,even if he is alone,forms an orderly queue of one," wrote a famous British author,George Mikes.While this sounds funny,it's a popular English stereotype(刻板印象).From the supermarket to the subway,queues are a common sight on the streets of Britain.

Here in China,queues are normal,too.It is a part of everyday life.People queue most of the time,from buying tickets in the cinema to waiting for seats at a restaurant.But in certain situations,you'll find yourself in the middle of a rushing crowd,such as getting onto the subway.Even away from the busy subway platform,queues are different.

One day I was standing in line at the supermarket.I left a small space in front of me.Within seconds,a girl walked by and took her place in that small space.I was surprised at first,but later I found these experiences very interesting.It is with these small,everyday differences that I get to live and learn in a new culture.

Back in Britain,the person spends about six months of their life waiting in a queue,according to the auction site MadBid.To pass the time,maybe they tell themselves the famous proverb..Good things come to those who wait.
