What does taking a risk mean? It means trying 1 things even if（即使）they make you feel uncomfortable or afraid. One of the greatest risk I'd ever taken was playing a role in my high school's fall play. I was not only a person who had 2 performance（表演）experience, but also I stuttered（口吃）.
Then 3 of performing in front of people made me worried. The reason why I 4 to perform was that I wanted to take part in my school theatre program.
On the day of the audition（试演）,there were also some acting exercises to warm us up. We were divided into pairs to 5 parts of the play. I felt very worried. After I said some of the lines（台词），my partner said, “I 6 you are stuttering. Is that for dramatic effect or do you really stutter?” I was speechless.
When my 7 to audition came, my heart was beating fast. Across from me sat the director and his assistants（助手）. Needless to say. I was really 8 my performance. I played the role of a man painter who pretended（假装）to be a woman. My partner was playing a businessman who wanted to marry me（the woman）. We said our lines and, 9, I didn't stutter. We went through it several times, and finally it was over. I was so 10.
The next Monday I was told that I had made the play. How excited I was! It was a lot of fun doing the play, and it was clear to me that my stuttering couldn't 11 me doing what I wanted to do, and taking risks was well worth the time and 12.
