#1 I was excited to learn about the Director, Tortsov, and his plans for my acting career. I was to perform bits from plays chosen by me, and then he would be able to judge my dramatic quality.

#2 I was so embarrassed that instead of apology, I made the careless remark I seem to be a little late. Rakhmanov, the Assistant Director, looked at me reproachfully. He said that the first rehearsal is an event in an artist’s life, and he should retain the best possible impression of it.

#3 I had to adjust my acting to the setting. I had to read my lines out of the book, or else approximably memorize them. The words did not help me, and the action tended to take away from me that freedom which I had felt in my own room.

#4 I was supposed to play the role of Othello, and I was placed in one of the wrong chairs. I struggled to fit in with my surroundings, and I was unable to concentrate on what was happening around me.
