This morning, I got a funny feeling. Today I had to give a report in my 1 , and I was afraid to do so for a long time!

Mom came into the kitchen, asking,"Are you ready, 　2 ? "

"Yes, "I answered quietly. 3 in fact I wasn't ready!

On my way 　 4 school, I could feel my heart beating . I hated this!

"Hi, Sam, "she said to me as I walked 6　 the classroom.

"Hi," I said and quickly sat in my 　7 , I looked at the clock. The time was near.　 Then Mrs Owens started ," Sam, it's time for you to show yourself. " Show 8 　?Oh, no!

I got up slowly, 9 　the ground as I walked to the front of the classroom. Then, I looked up, and everyone was looking at me. Mrs Owens knew I was 10 , so she came beside me, and put, her hand on my back.

She said to the class," Sam works very hard on his 　11　 ,and I know it is a very interesting report. "Then she turned to me and asked," Sam, 12 did you like best about your report on Hawaii?"

I thought about the fun things I read about surfing before, and I started to talk. I talked and talked 13 the whole class, and I was not nervous at all. It was great fun, it wasn't frightening . The class cheered as I finished and Mrs Owens was 　14　 .

Two months ago, I went to Australia for a meeting with my workmate（同事）,Chris. We decided to drive across the country after the meeting. The drive would take four days and most of it was across the desert（沙漠）.

The first day was a lot of fun because we were happy to hear each other's jokes（玩笑）. But on the third day, we began to get bored. We were quite quiet for some hours when Chris saw some kangaroos（袋鼠）.We were both excited and decided to take a closer（近一點的） look. Chris drove very quickly to catch up with（趕上）them. We got closer and closer when we heard a loud BANG!

Chris stopped the car and we got out. Beside the car was a large kangaroo lying on the ground. Chris went over to it and put his cap on its head. He took off his sunglasses and put them on the kangaroo and did the same with his jacket. Then he put his arm around the kangaroo and told me to take a photo of them together. I took out my camera. When I was focusing（調(diào)整焦距）the camera, I saw the kangaroo move(移動). It suddenly woke up, and ran away before we could do anything.

I started laughing but Chris looked worried. He said his wallet was in the jacket. I started laughing even louder. I stopped laughing when he said that our car keys were also in the jacket.

On my first day of the sixth grade, I noticed one little girl called Amy on the school bus. “Don’t   1  her,” Lauren said, who sat beside me, “or they will make fun of you.”

Amy had many physical differences —lots of   2  for other kids to make fun of her. Her eyes weren’t straight. Her glasses were an inch thick. And she had really ugly teeth.

Every day as we drove to school, kids would shout insults (侮辱) at Amy. “God, what a

 3  face! Stop looking at me!” “Mr. Rolland (the driver)! Amy took off her   4 , and now her eyes are frightening me! Make her put them back on!” I also did that because I didn’t want them to treat me the same way they treated Amy.
