（A）

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

Mom come 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!

I went into Mrs. Owens’ class．She was smiling, and saying   5   to all her students as she did every morning．

“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 has worked very hard on his   11  , and I know it is a very interesting report．” Then he turned to me and asked, “Sam,  12   did you like best about your report on Hawaii?”

I thought about the fun things I   13   about surfing before, and I started to talk．I talked and talked   14   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   15  ．

In fact, I can do better than I think I can―if I try! I am proud of myself．
