A NIGHT AT THE THEATRE
|
|
Going to the theatre brings back happy memories, as it
(1)________________________ me of my very first performance on stage,
(2)________________________ was thirty years ago. Parts of that particular
night are so vivid that I can still picture myself as though it were
yesterday. The excitement amongst the actors, the (3)________________________
applause and the party after the opening night are memories which will
remain with me for (4)________________________ . I don’t know how we
managed to do so well. The rehearsals were far from satisfactory because we
thought that we could just have two rehearsals a week
(5)________________________ in fact we needed more. The background (6)________________________
to the last act weren’t ready until an hour before the beginning of the
play despite the set builder’s best (7)________________________ .The director
was not satisfied (8)_________________________ anything and he didn’t even
want to show up on the first night. Admittedly, I wouldn’t have wanted to either.
(9)________________________ the night finally arrived, we were all a bit
worried. I remember (10)________________________ through the curtain ten
minutes before the start and being amazed (11)________________________ the (12)________________________

we proved the director wrong and everything went like clockwork.

FRIENDS

the
|

FRIEND
|
|
|
most important (2)______________________ they can have.
|
|
RELATION
|
|
|
It is (3)______________________ to have a friend you
can talk

However, it is important to choose friends

CARE

|

An ideal friend should be (6 )______________________
|

and when any difficulties arise, hopefully be there
for us.
Of course, there will be times when we might be
(7)______________________ of our friends. But, we
should

|
|
|
always talk things through in a (8)______________________
way and find a solution to our problems. Moreover,
|
|
SENSE
|
|

we should be careful not to be (9
)______________________ .
Without honesty, the bond between friends is

|
TRUTH
|
|
|
(10)______________________ and not worth anything at all.
