opening paragraph:

I am Li Hua, a student in our school who is currently/ recently organizing/ preparing/ planning a stage play adapted from The Million Pound Note. Considering that you are the supervisor of the Drama Club, I am writing to request assistance regarding the adaptation.

body paragraph:

1.情节简介（一般现在时）：

①The play recounts (narrates/ describes) the story of/ portrays (represents) a penniless young man whose fortune changes/ is turned upside down after receiving a one-million-pound note.

②The play paints a vivid picture of/ depicts how dramatic/ remarkable changes happen to a poor young man/ take place in a poor youngster’s life after he receives a one-million-pound note.

③The play delineates/ relates/ gives an account of a young man’s ironic adventure after he is blessed with an unexpected one-million-pound note.

2.指导内容（陈述问题：现在完成时/一般现在时）：

①核心剧情选取和呈现（if虚拟语气省略+部分倒装+感叹句）：

However, had I not embarked on/ commenced the adaptation, I wouldn’t have perceived how challenging it is to select the key plots and present them on stage/ to determine the core plots to retain and consider appropriate approaches to staging them.

句型调整：so+adj.+that结果状语从句+非谓语作状语

However, so complicated was the adaptation that it has posed a great challenge to us, consisting in the selection and presentation of key plots on stage.

②小说描述性语言转换成易懂对白+情感表达（非限定从+let alone递进）：

However, problems have arisen from the adaptation, which primarily focuses on transforming/ converting descriptive language to natural and comprehensible/ intelligible dialogues for stage performance, let alone keeping them engaging/ conveying emotions effectively.

③通过表演和台词呈现人物性格（无灵主语有灵谓语）：

Nonetheless, the adaptation process has witnessed our wrestling to display/ exhibit the personality/ traits of characters through performance and lines/ body language and facial expressions, in preference to straightforward narration in the novel.

④场地和道具有限（主从+be+表从）：

However, what has triggered our concern is that the adaptation might fail to achieve a satisfactory outcome (presentation)/ ...is that some visually magnificent (beautifully depicted) scenes might be demanding to recreate (reproduce/ translate) on stage because of restricted space and props.

⑤频繁时空转换：地点状语置于句首完全倒装

Nevertheless, in the adaptation exists our increasing concern about changing scenes smoothly/ concern over smooth scene transitions, given that the original story requires frequent shifts between different locations and time periods.

3.过渡句：

Since you are renowned for your insights into literature/ drama, I am convinced that your feedback would contribute to our artistic adjustment/ further improvement.

①Would it be convenient for you to review the draft script with me in your office next Friday afternoon/ Could you please spare some time to meet me in your office next Friday afternoon to discuss the attached draft script?
