She said: "I am really nervous about today. It was easy to remember my lines because I have been doing drama since I was two-and-a-half years old.
"My goal is to carry on studying drama."
Emily has private tutoring from Jackie Chidzoy, from Cheltenham.
Jackie said: "Emily is a darling, she has done really well.
"She has done well to learn her lines, she has a photographic memory."
