My Big Day

There were about 15 kids there for audition（试镜）when we arrived. I had been u1. about being late on this Big Day but the bus, which moved slowly all the way, woke up and almost galloped for the last half mile. Dad and I jumped off and ran to 171 High Street. I had e2. a shiny building but what I saw was a broken ancient door. And the room into which we all crowded was dark and didn’t have enough chairs. A boy was p3. his audition piece loudly, unaware of everyone else in the room. Most of the kids were in jeans, but a few dressed seriously cool as if they spent every day on film sets and lunching with s4. . I felt a bit embarrassed about my dressing.

A girl called us away, one by one, to be auditioned. I breathed deeply and slowly as I had learned to do-ever since my first part in the school play, when I was extremely nervous and n5. forgot everything I had memorized. I repeated my speech to myself with all the pauses and emphasizes in the right places. I knew I was good. I really wanted this part, I wanted to pay Dad back for all the work he’d done for me. I wanted to make him proud of me. And I know I could do it.

Suddenly - there it was my n6. ! I followed the girl down a corridor into a large room with three men and a woman sitting behind a long table. The woman looked up and said hello. Then the middle man looked up and stared hard at me.

"How tall are you?" he asked.

“I’m 1.6 metres.” I said, trembling slightly.

The man looked at the woman and I saw him s7. his head.

The woman turned to me and said. “I’m so sorry. That’s just a bit too tall for this part. They should have told you”
