Conti's Italian academy is not an ordinary school. It is the oldest art school in Great Britain. This is a private school, which means that students have to pay to go there. All students must wear uniforms and attend the same lessons as other students. Students must work very hard to pass GCSE exams. In addition to the usual lessons, students can choose from a wide range of classes in the performing arts. It can be anything from traditional ballet to modern dance, or learn to perform on stage or on television. Regardless of the kind of show business students want to work with, they are encouraged to develop as many performing skills as possible. Many students perform professionally while still in school, and some start a successful career before graduating from school.
Example To FollowIn the childhood everyone wants to resemble somebody: mother or sister, father, preschool teacher, teacher of music of a popular star. Little children always copy behavior manners of surrounding persons. With age our preferences and persons with whom we want to be alike change.As for me, once I wanted to resemble Kate Winslet, the star of film “Titanic”. At first time I watched “Titanic” being quite little, I was about six years old, and I desired to be in Rosa’s place at once. For a long time I collected pictures with Kate and “Titanic”, but growing up gradually I changed my outlook. I don’t want to resemble somebody anymore; I want to progress and to reach success by myself. Naturally there are people whom I admire, for example: multi-talented Leonardo da Vinci, brave and creative Coco Chanel, self-sacrificing and caring Mother Teresa, master of impersonation Jonny Depp, etc. They reached greater heights in their life and left a mark in history of humanity that’s why their actions deserve respect and it is not awful that somebody wants to resemble them. One of Ten Commandments says: “One shall not make for oneself an idol”, which means that it is necessary to follow your own way, to develop your talents and, may be, once you will become the example to follow.
