my lines

[Suthipong]

I always feel more confident if I have practiced my lines before the audition.

What does it means by my lines in the sentence?
Are they some words that someone prepare for a presentation?

An actor's lines are those parts of a play that his/her character has to speak.

And if it's a speech or solo presentation, it means the words you have to say. While the words occur in temporal order during the actual speech, they are written in a spatial order, which, as you probably know, are arranged in lines. Your message has 3 lines. My reply also has 3 lines (on my screen).

Thank you. Now I understand it.
Another question about the word "line".
I found somewhere they wrote "What line are you in?"or"What line are you..................? or something like that which they intended to mean the word line as a kind of business or work.
Please give me a correct sentence.

If you want to use that line in a conversation, you should say, "What line of work are you in?"

Now, I would like to correct some grammar mistakes in your post

1. I always feel more confident, if I practice my lines before the audition.

2. Are these some words that someone prepares for a presentation?

1. The original words are correct and natural:
"I always feel more confident if I have practiced my lines before the audition."
Your 'correction' is also correct, although it has a slightly different meaning.

Being British, I use 's' in the verb: - practise, but 'c' is correct in AmE.

Those is perhaps less natural than these, but is not incorrect. If prepare is present simple, it needs '-s'. A present perfect form has prepared or present progressive form is preparing would be more natural

Is the "c" correct in the verb in AmE, or just commonly used?

Yours is correct, but I prefer the original.
"I always feel good in the morning if I've had a good night's sleep:

What does it mean by 'my lines' in the sentence?
"What does "my lines" mean in this sentence?"

Are these some words that someone prepare for a presentation?
Are they [some] words that someone [has] prepared for a presentation?

I hope you don't mind me correcting your corrections.

While we keep the verb/noun distinction in some words, like advise/advice, for practice, it's just practice -- no practise in American English.
