本写作任务要求写一个英文剧本。剧本是一种文学形式，主要由台词和舞台说明组成。其中，舞台说明包括剧中人物介绍、剧情发生的时间及地点、服装、道具、布景以及人物的表情、动作、上下场等。
写英文剧本时，应注意以下几点：
1. 剧本的结构一般分为：开端、发展、转折、高潮、结局。但剧本的结构并非一成不变，不同的剧本结构各有不同。
2. 剧本主要由人物的对话构成，剧本台词应简洁明了，符合人物身份、形象和剧情发展，语言衔接合理，能让观众明白剧本所表达的主要内容。
3. 剧本中人物的刻画主要通过对话实现，所以台词要体现人物的鲜明个性。
4. 舞台说明通过对表情、动作的描写体现人物的心理活动和特点，多用一般现在时或现在进行时，并使用斜体，放入括号内。
In groups, choose one of the stories from this unit to act out in class.
