Many schools will have talent shows at certain times, such as during a school celebration or party ,for example, just before the long vacation. This gives students the chance to come on stage and show off their talents to their schoolmates. Students might do such activities as singing, dancing, telling jokes, or playing a musical instrument(乐器). Sometimes talent show will be judged with prizes for the winners, or sometimes they will be just for fun. Students usually are not forced to take part in a talent show; most of the time they will volunteer.
