Hello, I am the little sister of Lady Mary, she recently got engaged to a man called ‘Mr Fox’; a man I or she knows much about him all she and I know is he lives in a big castle, goes to a pub every week, tall, handsome(as she says.) and very kind. But she said all of his wives before her had died strangely, we spoke to the priest about it- because he was a friend of Mr fox- and he said that he as least had over five wives! Strange.

    I felt very happy for her because she finally met someone! It has been years sense she has actually met a man, or anyone for that matter. It’s nice that she is finally getting out there.

    But I am also worried for her because she just met the man also she does not know him well and all his other wives had DIED! What if she is making the wrong choice, what if this man is not all what he says he is? But I can trust her, I trust she will get to know him before the wedding, if she does not like him she will call the wedding off… hopefully

All in all I am proud of her, finally getting some wind under her wings and getting out there and meeting people! Well she could have took some time to get to know him properly but it is her choice!

T Read the question carefully and think about how the answer should be written. This question was "as an actor" but you have written as the character. This should be reflective not creative writing!

My character was the little sister of Lady Mary, I think that she would be shocked because of all of the obvious reasons. One: her big sister has been alone for many years and did not go out much to make new friends or boyfriends. Two; she just met the man and is engaged to him. And three: she doesn’t know pretty much anything about him.

But I think she would be happy for her because Lady Mary has been alone for many years and would be happy for finally getting out there and having fun!

I think she would show that shock by putting on a higher voice a bit slower as of trying to find the right words. I think she would put a excited voice and hug her when she first finds out, and then do the shocked voice and pointing at her, trying to be the big sister out of the two.
