6.After graduation,I was appointed to teach to a sixth-grade class.The morning classes of my first day went smoothly.I knew that my pupils were experiencing many new situations.In primary school,they were all day long in the same classroom with the same teacher,who knew them by their first name.During their first sixth-grade day,they met a different teacher at each hour,each time in another classroom that was to be found among hundreds.They were mainly concerned by finding and reaching the right room on time.
The afternoon classes began at two o'clock.I unlocked the classroom and let the children enter.I counted them as they passed in front of me.One was missing.I checked in the attendance notebook:no pupil was reported absent.I had no idea about what I was supposed to do and began to wonder how to report the fact.When TocTocToc,somebody knocked at the door.A little girl came in.
"Excuse-me,Madame,I was lost."Before I could blame those who laughed,she began to vomit(嘔吐).I pointed a girl out:"Go to the infirmary(醫(yī)務室) with her."
"Where is it,Madame?"she asked.
I did not know.I had no time to think.The second girl vomited,then a boy,and then I could count no longer.I thought of a food poisoning and sent two pupils who looked in good health to warn the school leader"or any grown up you find".Yes,I was losing my head at full speed!At last,firemen (in France,they dealt with any emergency issue,not only fire),ambulances,the medical staff and the cleaning team came to rescue.
As the pupils in the other classrooms were not affected(感染),it could not be because of a food poisoning.The first girl vomited because of her fear of being lost,late and alone.The others let themselves be led by her because they felt the same fear of being lost,late and alone.
To yawn(打哈欠) can affect others also.I would have preferred she yawned.
