Be a Star of Your Own Movie
I always loved movies. It didn’t even matter if I went to see them alone. In the movies, nothing seemed impossible: I became the star of the cheering team who leads her team to victory,or the teenager who bridges the gap between the races at her high school, or even the young woman who falls in love with a handsome nobleman from the nineteenth century. And I would always live happily ever after.
In fact,I liked to pretend what was happening on-screen was happening in my own life as well. I liked the happy endings,the perfect happy endings. I wanted my life to be like that,happy and wonderful. I wanted to escape the stress of family and friends and school. My only escape from the reality that trapped me was heading for a movie theatre.
I hadn’t always been this way. As a young girl,I was outgoing and friendly,and even involved in after-school activities. High school was different,though. I became quiet and withdrawn.
My parents were worried about me. They urged me to call old friends or get more involved with school. After promising my parents a thousand times that I would call one of my old friends,I finally agreed. The only number I knew by heart was Sarah’s,so I called her. Sarah herself was pretty close to perfect: straight-A student, class president,off to Yale in the fall, beautiful,sweet,brilliant. We decided to meet for a pizza lunch.
We ate and talked and caught up on old times. I told her how difficult it had been for me in the past few years and how unbearable the pressure had been. “I wish my life was the way it is in the movies,” I sighed,“I would be so much easier. ”I looked down through my fingers,face in my hands. “I understand,” she said. I looked up at her,questioning her with my eyes.

答案： 【参考范文】
Paragraph 1:
She explained she used to escape her realities by doing the same thing. “Then one day,” Sarah explained, “I started to think about why I wanted to be like the people in the movies.” And then it occurred to me that they had their scripts already written out for them. However, I had the ability to write my own script. “If I had the power to determine the plot of my life movie, then why wouldn't I make it an inspiring one, a movie with a happy ending?” she said. “You are the star of your own movie. Now, all you need is your story,” she added.
Paragraph 2:
Inspired by her words, I decided that I would produce my own life story. No other actress could fill my role. It was up to me to produce, direct and edit my life. I would set my own goals I was capable of achieving from now on. There can be no success without the possibility of failure. The only sure way of failing is by refusing to try. I looked over at Sarah, and said “Thank you,” squeezing her hand. The curtain rose, and my film began.
