[00:05.93]Task: decide what to say
[00:08.09]in a difficult situation
[00:10.54]Movie star or doctor?
[00:12.94]My best friend, Li Qianlian, aged 17,
[00:16.06]is very clever and she's also beautiful.
[00:18.47]It's always been her dream to star in a movie
[00:20.84]and she's talked about being an actress for
[00:22.81]as long as I've known her.
[00:24.84]Two months ago she was in a shopping mall
[00:27.00]with a few of her friends
[00:28.80]and she was spotted by a famous movie director.
[00:31.52]He gave her his card and last week
[00:33.47]he phoned her parents.
[00:35.06]He wants her to play a role in the new movie
[00:37.30]he's directing!
[00:38.61]It would be a fantastic opportunity
[00:41.01]but she would miss the last 4 months
[00:42.60]of this school year.
[00:44.20]Her parents are determined that she should not
[00:46.40]take the part as they want her to finish school
[00:49.10]and devote herself to a future as a doctor.
