Question

【題目】Acting is voluntarily entering the psyche(心靈) of another personality and thinking according to a different set of values. It lets you explore the various possibilities of what you could be. Just being your own self can be boring at times but acting gives you an opportunity to be someone else for a while. It lets you deeply explore what it means to be human!

To play a role, you must embrace(接受) the character you're acting with open arms. Understand the plot of the play and the psyche of your character. Try to understand why your character behaves the way it does. Learn the lines or dialogues thoroughly and explore the thought behind every sentence. This will help you picture the circumstances in which the character finds itself.

To be that person, there is no way you can live the life he or she has, but you can draw parallels from your own life, which will help you relate to the person. You have to draw parallels from your own experience and actually try to feel what the character feels. Say the lines only when you "feel" the way your character does. Let them come out naturally.

Only through practice will you get closer to actually be that person, and many acting exercises can help you. Try saying the dialogue giving the correct facial expressions in front of a mirror. Learn the techniques of raising as well as lowering your voice. Practice acting out the expressions like joy, sorrow, laughter, anger, disapproval, satisfaction etc. These facial expressions, if mastered well, can make your acting experience happy.

In short, your experience off stage and the awareness with which you live your life are the keys you need to unlock your acting potential. Confidence, sincerity and the ability to let go of yourself will turn into a great acting performance!

●exploring the various possibilities of what you could be（發(fā)覺(jué)你的潛能）

●avoiding boredom/feeling bored by being someone else for a while（暫時(shí)成為他人可以避免無(wú)聊）

●exploring the meaning of being human（探索成為人類(lèi)的意義）可知這幾個(gè)小點(diǎn)寫(xiě)的都是表演的優(yōu)點(diǎn)，故填：Benefits/Advantages

【2】boredom/feeling bored ，從第一段第三句Just being your own self can be boring at times but acting gives you an opportunity to be someone else for a while.一直做你自己有時(shí)會(huì)很無(wú)聊，但是表演會(huì)給你一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)暫時(shí)成為別人。橫線前是avoid, 它后面接名詞或V-ing，故填boredom/feeling bored。

【3】meaning，從第一段最后一句It lets you deeply explore what it means to be human!它讓你進(jìn)一步去探索成為人類(lèi)的意義。而橫線上要填一個(gè)名詞，故填meaning。

【6】your own experience，從第三段第二句You have to draw parallels from your own experience and actually try to feel what the character feels.你不得不將你自己的親身經(jīng)歷結(jié)合起來(lái)然后試著去感受角色的感受。故填your own experience.

【7】naturally ,從第三段最后一句Say the lines only when you "feel" the way your character does. Let them come out naturally.(假如對(duì)白能讓你知道和感受到你所演的角色在干什么。你才能很自然的將它演出來(lái))，故填naturally

【8】a mirror，第四段第二句Try saying the dialogue giving the correct facial expressions in front of a mirror.（試著站在鏡子前面給出正確的面部表情講對(duì)白），故填a mirror

【9】raising and lowering，第四段第三句Learn the techniques of raising as well as lowering your voice.（學(xué)習(xí)提高或者降低你聲音的技巧），故填raising and lowering
