文章大意:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述害羞的作者达拉斯(Dallas)在老师萨瑟夫人(Mrs. Sather)的鼓励下,勇敢地出演了一部剧,并找到了自信。
Just five months earlier, I would never have thought that I would act in a play in front of so many people. Without the encouragement of my teacher, Mrs. Sather, I might never have found that courage.
I was an extremely ___________ girl. It just wasn’t in my personality to make a sound in public. I used to hide myself in my writing. Mrs. Sather also encouraged me to write more. I think she was one of the first people to see my real _________ and know how to help me.
One day, she told us that we were going to _________ a play The Wizard of Oz. “I need someone to play the lead part of Dorothy,” she said. A lot of hands shot up. Mine, of course, was not one of them.
After school, Mrs. Sather said to me, “Dallas, I was _______ you didn’t raise your hand. You’re great at memorizing things, and you have such a sweet personality. I’m sure you are _________ for Dorothy! I have you in mind for Dorothy and want you to write the play too! If you really don’t want to, though, I won’t make you. It’s your ___________.”
Encouraged by her _________, I suddenly wanted to see what I really could do. I _________ the role. After five months of practicing, we were ready.
At the end of the play, when my teacher and my classmates stood up and _________, I knew they were not just congratulating for my performance that night, but for the success that they knew would come in later years because of my newly found ____________.
