When I was in my fifth grade，I found my favorite — acting．It is not only interesting，but it         teamwork and empathy, things I think the world should have more of．
However, I never expected that acting would also teach me to         !
In the first semester of my freshman year of high school，my school         the play Frankenstein．It’s about a scientist named Victor Frankenstein who creates a monster, and         the monster destroys the scientist’s life．
I got the lead female 45 of Frankenstein’s girlfriend，Elizabeth．I had been in plays before，so I was very 46 to the rehearsal(排练)process of memorizing lines and then         a character with help from the director．But this play was different from       one I had ever done before，because Frankenstein and Elizabeth had to kiss in the play a lot．The boy who 49Frankenstein was very cute，I must say．There was a(n)        in which our characters shared “15kisses”．       ，the director removed it．But there were still some kissing scenes．
Would we         to kiss，or would we actually kiss? Our director         having us kiss for real，and for the first few times，it was very         ．My lips barely touched the boy’s．Many of the other actors and actresses laughed at us．
       ，one thing about stage kissing that you have to understand is that you are not being yourself. That goes for any       ．After that experience，I feel like I can         any role．It was a big event in my         toward becoming a better actress．I feel more       being onstage and showing my character’s personality to the       ．And that is important for getting the message of a play across．
