Language aim: to analyse a story and its message with a stimulus to students writing their own

Task A. Read the story and answer the questions:

ADD SOME DRAMA TO YOUR LIFE

When you have a really busy school timetable, it is not an easy thing to find time for a hobby: all you think about is how to chill out. That is what my friends and classmates say, but I think differently.

Instead of doing nothing, I try to discover my talents by doing drama in my school club. Initially, it was my mother's idea: as a student, she attended various clubs and even went camping once, but she wanted me to do something safe, not just funny. Before joining the drama club, I tried playing basketball and did photography. I enjoyed it, but the atmosphere was a bit unfriendly and competitive, so I quit.

I feel that have become much more confident and happier. Doing drama is a good way to find your secret superpower. For me, it is a chance to show how I really am: creative, sociable and fearless!
