记叙文 芭蕾传承 ★★ 7'
The women in the Watson family all like ballet(芭蕾舞). These days, Alice Watson gives ballet lessons, but for many years, she was a dancer with the National Ballet Company(舞团). Her mother, Hannah, also had a full-time job there, making clothes for the dancers.
Alice’s daughter Demi started learning ballet shortly after she could walk. “I never taught her,” says Alice, “because she never let me.” Now at the age of 16, Demi dances at the National Ballet Company.
“When Demi started dancing, the house was too small for her and Alice to practise in, so I made the garage(车库)into a dance room. Now the living room is nice and quiet when I’m watching TV!” says Jack, Alice’s husband.
Last month, Demi was invited to dance in the ballet Swan Lake. Alice, Jack and Hannah all went to watch her. Jack says, “I’m not that interested in ballet myself, but it’s fantastic to see Demi taking her first steps(步)with Alice’s old company!” Demi was wearing a dress that Hannah had made for Alice many years before. So it was very special for her.
“It was very exciting for all of us,” says Hannah. “Demi’s way of dancing is very like Alice’s. I know I’m her grandmother, but I think she has a great future!”
