The talent show

Every year, the town of Bridgewell has a talent showконкурс талантов in the old theatre. Tonight is the big night, and the theatre is full.

Right now, a teenager called Mia is standing on the stageсцена. She's playing the violin and the audienceзрители is listening in silence. Mia can play three instrumentsмузыкальные инструменты: the violin, the piano and the guitar. She can't sing very well, she says, so she doesn't sing in the show!

Behind the stage, the other people are getting readyготовятся. An old man, Mr Harris, is practising a magic trickфокус with a white rabbit. Two brothers are putting on their dancing shoes. They can dance hip-hop and they can do amazing jumps. A little girl is crying because she's nervousволнуется, нервничает. Her mum is holding her hand.

Who is going to win? Nobody knows. The judgesчлены жюри are writing notes and smiling. But for most of the people here, winning isn't important. They're having a wonderful evening together.
