My Experience Preparation of Doing Role Play

All first semester students at KPTM Bangi must do a role play for the subject of Proficiency English 1. One day, we received instructions from our lecturer  that we have to discuss by group for the group title of the story for our role play. She give us time to discuss too short. We have no idea what to act out the story. That night, our group member, Aizat  suggests ' Maleficient ' for our group. We all support because we lost the idea. On the next class, we suggest to exchange another story but we do not allow by our lecturer. We have no idea because my group have 2 boys and 3 girls that is Redza, Aizat, Sakinah, Nazifa and me, Erisya. We discuss with our lecturer, Miss Nur Dini to give us some ideas. She suggested Sakinah as a Thistletwit, Nazifa as a Knotgrass and me as a Flittle. Another two boys that is Redza as a Princess Aurora and Aizat as a Maleficent. Our lecturer said it would be interesting and fun if Redza and Aizat take character as a girl.

Maleficent and Princess Aurora

Aizat made the script because he volunteers to make it alone. After a few days, we are still waiting for our script from Aizat and we didn't do anything yet while other group is in the process of setting up what not done yet. We begin to feel depressed at that time and jealous with other group and one day, Aizat give us our script and the results disappointed because it was too short. We asked him to add some script and make it longer because the role play should not be more than 20 minutes. On the next day, we received a new script from him. After that, we just practice using voice only and without action. We own practice and began to memorize our scripts. Days gone by and we have one day left to practice and the next day is the day for role play. We practice two times only that night. We sad that our script maybe in 10 minutes only. We talked and Aizat suggested on the day we role play, we have to make more action and not talk too fast to make our role play more longer. On that night, nazifa and me asked Redza to buy goods to make props and buy her own crown to wear on the day we performed. That night , the three of us that is Sakinah, Nazifa and me slept late because preparing props except Maleficent horn made by Sakinah. Awaited day has arrived, we were so worried because this is the first time we performed on stage in front of people. We are very grateful because our turn at 6:30 p.m and that time just have our classmate only.

last time to memorize our script

I help Aizat and Redza to wear women's clothes because they never used. We put some make up on their face and it look so funny!

I help Redza to wear a crown

We performed the best on the stage.The funny part is Nazifa forget her script when we performed on the stage. All those who were in the hall laughed because Nazifa. That moment i'll never forget because it too funny for me. I think everyone enjoy when we acted on the stage. I am extremely satisfied with my group who have done everything well on that time. Thank you everyone!
