A Talented Dancer and Actor Jamie Bell was 13 when he won the starring role of Billy Eliot in the movie.He was chosen from a talent search of over 2,000 children.
Jamie began dancing at the age of six after watching his older sister dance and accompanying her to competitions all over England.Once,while he was waiting for his sister to come on stage,he saw a gid dancing out of step. "I could do better than that," he told his mother.So his mother bought him tap shoes and sent him off to classes.
Jamie grew up in a small town in northern England.Many people in Billingham,where Jamie grew up,did not think ballet was a manly thing to do,so Jamie didn't tell anyone about it.When his friends asked him out and he had a ballet lesson,he used to say he was going to see his grandmother or he had to go to the doctors.After they found out about his dancing,his close friends accepted it,but some of the other boys at his school teased him and called him names like "ballerina boy" and "girlie boy". "But most of that gave me more determination to do it,because I wanted to prove to them that ballet wasn't just for girls;it was for boys as well," said Jamie who is now 15.
Since making Billy Eliot,Jamie has starred in another movie "Who goes there and has made guest appearances in several television shows." He has also acted in pantomimes.For the time being,however,his schoolwork is the most important thing in his life and he is busy studying for several important examinations.

3.Dear Laura,
Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house. Now, you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening. When I was out a walk, my younger son, Tom, played football before your house. He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily. Even worse, Tom broke one of the window of Mr. Wilson's house. Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings, but promised to have the broken window repair soon. Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more. I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us. They are really nice people.
Yours,
Betty發(fā)布:2025/1/30 8:0:1組卷:12引用:2難度:0.5
