Everyday interactions such as striking up a conversation or taking part in one might not be a piece of cake when English is not your first language. Some people are scared of making mistakes, others don’t feel confident about speaking English because they feel clumsy and awkward. Why sometimes is it so difficult to speak fluently even though we know all the English grammar rules from A to Z?
如果英语不是你的第一语言，那每天展开或参与一个英语对话对你而言就不是小菜一碟那么简单了。有些人担心犯错，有些人则因为英语讲的磕磕巴巴而羞于开口。为什么有的时候即使我们对语法已掌握的烂熟于心，但还是无法讲出一口流利的英语呢?
Could there be a place where you can express yourself just like you do in real life, but without worrying about the way you speak or the mistakes you make. That place is theatre.
有没有一个地方能让你像实际生活中那样自由地表达自己，又不用担心自己说话的方式或犯错误?剧院就是这样一个地方。
The good news is that drama never stops helping us to explore life. Whether we want to work on our self-confidence, self-efficacy in public speaking or to learn a foreign language, drama is one of the best ways to achieve results.
好消息是：戏剧一直以来都帮助我们探索生活。不管我们是想提高在公共演讲中的自我信心与自我效率还是想习得一门外语，戏剧都是取得这样效果的最佳途径之一。
This is the magic of drama and the reason why drama boosts the learning process. When drama meets the field of education, it can transform a traditional lesson into an exciting learning experience.
这就是戏剧的魔力，也是戏剧能在你的学习过程中发挥作用的原因。当戏剧与教育相碰撞，戏剧能使一堂传统的课程变成一次相当有趣的学习经历。
