Drama is a type of literature or performance that tells a story through acting. Have you ever watched a drama show S9: Yes, I watched a drama about a fairy tale last year. T: That sounds interesting.

The music club is also popular. Students in the music club can play different musical instruments. The drama club often puts on shows for the school.
