Many students don't like joining school plays. Some think they are too shy on the stage(舞台). Some say they are too busy. Others think that is very boring. When I heard the English club would have an English play Snow White, I decided to join it. The main reason was that I really wanted to be on stage.
There were many characters in the play. Of course, the girls wanted to play the Princess(公主). Jiang Dong played the King (国王). Zhou Tao and other six boys in the club played the seven dwarfs(矮人). I thought I might get the role of the Princess. But Lu Hong got it. Miss Yang asked me to act the role of the Queen. I wasn't very happy about this. But MissYang said, "The most important thing is the acting.
From then on, I tried to act the Queen. It was difficult for me to do it because I had no experience(经验) in acting. After two months' hard practice, we were ready to perform on stage. It was very successful. People in the hall enjoyed it very much.

Most children like watching cartoons. Why
First of all, cartoons are funny. Actually, most people do not want to be bored, especially children. Children always want to do something fun. Children can't concentrate (专注) on the things that are hard to do. But, if they watch cartoons, all of them can watch them until the end.
Another reason is that children can learn many things from cartoons easily. Some children hate boring knowledge in books.But cartoons are different. They can make children learn a lot with fun. For example, the cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants tells children a lot about the sea.
The last reason is that cartoons are fantastical. Sometimes,everybody wants to escape (逃离) from the real world. They think that their dreams are coming true by watching cartoons.So, many boys like watching Superman because they always imagine they can fly.
Cartoons are important to children. It will be better if there are more educational cartoons for children.
