Drama is like when stories come alive on a stage. It's when characters talk and act out a story in front of an audience. It's not like reading a book; it's more like watching a play with real people.

Five Features of Drama:

1. Talking and Acting: In drama, characters don't just talk; they also do things. They move around, show their feelings with their faces and bodies, and interact with each other.
2. 
   Conflict and Problems: Drama usually has some kind of problem or struggle. This makes the story interesting. It could be a fight, a mystery, or just characters trying to figure things out.
3. 
   Different Characters: Drama has lots of characters, like in a movie or TV show. Each character has their own personality and role in the story.
4. 
   Setting the Stage: Drama needs a stage where the action happens. This could be a room, a street, a forest – wherever the characters are supposed to be.
5. 
   Emotions and Feelings: Characters in drama show their emotions. They can be happy, sad, angry, scared, or excited. This helps the audience feel connected to the story.
