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?

如果英語不是你的第一語言，那每天展開或參與一個英語對話對你而言就不是小菜一碟那么簡單了。有些人擔(dān)心犯錯，有些人則因為英語講的磕磕巴巴而羞于開口。為什么有的時候即使我們對語法已掌握的爛熟于心，但還是無法講出一口流利的英語呢?

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.

有沒有一個地方能讓你像實際生活中那樣自由地表達(dá)自己，又不用擔(dān)心自己說話的方式或犯錯誤?劇院就是這樣一個地方。

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：戲劇一直以來都幫助我們探索生活。不管我們是想提高在公共演講中的自我信心與自我效率還是想習(xí)得一門外語，戲劇都是取得這樣效果的最佳途徑之一。

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.

這就是戲劇的魔力，也是戲劇能在你的學(xué)習(xí)過程中發(fā)揮作用的原因。當(dāng)戲劇與教育相碰撞，戲劇能使一堂傳統(tǒng)的課程變成一次相當(dāng)有趣的學(xué)習(xí)經(jīng)歷。
