It is very important that you don’t rush ahead until you have mastered all the moves you have just learnt. And don’t forget to try a little rise and fall in there. It would be a good idea to go back to page 6 and remind yourself of the rise and fall action again because it will make a lot more sense now you have more of an idea of the steps.

Remember when learning Italian that chi is used in questions; and also that che (that/which) can never be omitted as it sometimes is in English: la lingua che parlo - the language (that) I speak. As well as come in, Si accomodi (usually shortened to S'accọmodi) can mean 'Sit down', 'Make yourself comfortable' or 'Make yourself at home'. When speaking to more than one person, you say S'accoọmodino.
Some local councils' information websites provide transcripts along with their signed versions. You may feel confident enough to want to try and use your new found skills to see if you can meet some Deaf people. Here are some suggestions: Go to an event with a friend for company – there's nothing worse than standing around in a crowd and not understanding anyone. Try and go to something that you have an interest in, e.g. sport, religion or a hobby – you will have something to discuss. See if you can volunteer at a local school that uses signs, or for a project that requires volunteers who have some signing skills already.

Similar rules apply with quotations from books, plays or articles, taking a fresh line and using quotation marks. An unfortunate habit and one to be avoided is that of inserting the word quote before each quotation. Of course in a speech it is often necessary to identify a quotation by saying â€˜I quoteâ€™ or something similar, but in writing the layout and punctuation do the work.

Keep your scenes tight in terms of space and time when writing a play. Audiences often find very short scenes and large gaps in time very off-putting in a theatrical context.
Practising a relaxation technique should become part of your life – just as brushing your teeth twice a day, you should actively relax every day, and not just when you are feeling or expect to feel stressed.
Multiple tenses are very often combined within one song, whether by a definite switch from past to present or a more general mixture of lines in different tenses. And as with voices, what matters is consistency. Obviously, there's no reason why one song shouldn't talk about some events that happened in the past as well as others that are happening now. What is a problem is when you switch tenses while talking about the same event.
