What:Designed a show to celebrate the Anniversary of Xiamen University, and won 2nd Prize out of 12teams.
Situation(Key Word:demanding)
On the anniversary night, there was a huge celebration party, where songs,dances and dramas were played. Each school should design five shows, and our class volunteered to design one. It was a demanding goal as it was very close to the end of the term when most students were busy preparing for final exams.
Task:As a sophomore student I was in charge of my class performance, which was a drama. I had to deal with the pressure from study, my classmates’ disinterest in acting, and my role as the king in the drama.
Actions:(Key Words:how I saw it through)
First, as there were only 20 students in my class, I distributed at least one task to each student; either a role, or making tools or costumes.
Second, since at the end of the term each member was busy with study, therehearsal schedule should be reasonable and periodic. All team members cooperated well because of the low frequency and short duration of eachrehearsal.
Third, music and scenery were added into rehearsal in order to get close to the circumstances of the party.
In addition, I emphasized the value of time and ordered every actor to respec to ther partners.
Result:In the end, our performance was very successful. Not only did I act the“king” wonderfully,but also got good marks on the final exam.

iv. Organized the rehearsals, reminded the singers of each rehearsal time and place with short messages, because our singers were indeed busy and they could forget.
v. Made each rehearsal as lively as possible to make the singers feel the atmosphere of Christmas, and thus motivate them to sing with emotion.
