Narrator: Now listen to a conversation between two students.

Male student: Jenny, I heard you just got the lead role in the school play this Sunday?

Female student: (Sounding proud) Y’heard right, Roger. The lead actress got a really sore throat, and she can’t use her voice. I’ve been asked to take her place. It’s a huge honor, but… I’m not sure I’ll do it.

Male student: (Surprised) But you’ve wanted to star in a play all year. Don’t you want the lead role?

Female student: I do, but my parents are coming to visit me this weekend, y’know? I really wanted to spend time with them, not just spend all my time practicing an’ being on stage.

Male student: Well, why not do both? You could practice your lines in front of them. And I bet they’d be really proud to watch you starring in the play.

Female student: Maybe you’re right. And I could invite ‘em to the cast party after the play, too. But my parents really wanted me to show them around town. If I act in the play, I’m—um—not sure I’ll have time.

Male student: Well, if you back outta the role, you’ll have more time with your parents for sure. But what’s the theater gonna do? Do they have time to find a replacement?

Female student: My friend Stacy could replace me. She’s free this weekend, and she starred in the same play last year.

Male student: Well, you better ask her soon—you wanna give her enough time to practice.

Female student:If I ask her. I really would love to be the leading lady.
