“You should go for it,” Artie said, giving my shoulder a squeeze as we stood gazing at the poster. ‘Cinderella — auditions (试镜) this Thursday after school,’ the words proclaimed.
“Me ” My voice came out as a frightened squeak. “Come on, Amy. You probably know the entire play off by heart. You are the best person for Cinderella.” he encouraged. I knew he was joking, but the truth was, I could tell you every single line (台词) in the play.
When we reached the hall on Thursday, I began to wish I hadn’t signed up to be Cinderella. It was easier to feel hopeful several days ago when my name was the only one on the sign-up sheet. Since then, seven other girls have added their own names to the list, including Sherry Anderson, the head cheerleader (拉拉队长).
Luckily, we were given a moment to practice before the auditions began. “Good,” Mr Cordoza said approvingly as he stopped by and listened to my practice. I felt a glimmer of hope. “Now let’s see how you get on performing on the stage in front of everyone.” He clapped his hands for attention, signaling the start of the auditions.
Sherry Anderson was up first. She showed great confidence as she tossed her long blonde hair and recited her lines. Although she lacked an understanding of the lines, her performance was attractive.
Then it was my turn. As I climbed the stairs to the stage, I tripped, nearly falling flat on my face. I felt my cheeks burning.
“When you’re ready,” Mr Cordoza said, sounding impatient.
“Sorry,” I mumbled. I tried to calm my breathing, but the nerves tightened in my throat. “I...I…” I stuttered. ‘Speak up Amy, can’t hear you!’ jeers and whistles came from the back of the hall. I could feel that my performance was a disaster. Even Sherry’s lines were better than mine. Finally, I limped to the end of the scene, and as soon as it was over, I rushed off the stage, feeling defeated.
As I made my way through the hallway, I spotted Artie waiting for me.

写作示范一
He told me that Sherry got the role of Cinderella but I would be the understudy. At first, I was filled with disappointment. I had dreamed of being Cinderella, not just her backup. Artie saw the sadness in my eyes and said, “Amy, being an understudy is still important. You know the play better than anyone. Practice hard, and you might get your chance.” His words gave me some hope. From that day on, I dedicated myself to rehearsals. I watched Sherry's every move during practice, learning from her strengths and also noticing her weaknesses in understanding the character.
On the day of the performance, Sherry got sick and couldn't come. Mr Cordoza looked around anxiously and then his eyes landed on me. My heart raced with nervousness, but I remembered all my hard work. Taking a deep breath, I stepped onto the stage. At first, my voice trembled slightly, but as I recited the lines, I grew more confident. I poured my heart and soul into the role, showing a deeper understanding of Cinderella. When the play ended, the audience erupted into thunderous applause. I had done it! I realized that sometimes, opportunities come in unexpected ways, and we should always be ready to seize them.
