One of my dreams has come true, and I’m still not entirely happy… Why does

everything have to be so complicated? I need your help!

Two weeks ago my friend Vanessa came up to me and told me there was an

audition for a play Tuesday night (she knew how much I was interested in acting). I

went there and it turned out to be a summer job: we would be performing a play

for little kids in daycares and the community center. It is sort of a big time

commitment with all the rehearsals and performances several times a week. I'm

already cast as a character! I must say I don’t even see it as a job, and even if it

was unpaid I would still want to do it.

So, everything is great except that since I told my mom and dad that the

performances will probably take my whole summer, they behave as if I let them

down. They refuse to talk to me just because we have planned a big family

vacation, the last one before I go to college next year, and now I may not be able

to make it. You know how close I’ve always been to my parents, and I don’t want

to be mean to them but I also feel I mustn’t miss this fantastic opportunity. Am I

right? What do you think?

Write a letter of 100-120 words to Myra in which you

• congratulate Myra and ask about the play,

• say what you think of the situation,

• suggest ways of solving the conflict.
