CHARACTERS—Max and Emma

SCENE 1—Dining hall, Sunville Middle School

EMMA: Max! Hi! Mr. Sosa says our band(乐队) can play in the talent show!

MAX: Cool! I'll tell Felipe to meet us in the music room after school for a practice.

EMMA: Umm. I wonder if it's a good idea to have Felipe in our band …

MAX: (With his mouth open) Of course it is! He's really good at the keyboard.

EMMA: Really ? He seems more interested in maths than anything else.

MAX: Well, he says maths and music are connected. He says that learning to read music and playing keyboard is like learning maths formulas(公式).

EMMA: Then I'm sure he's good at music, too. With Felipe on keyboard, we'll really have an edge over the other groups.
