This morning, I got a funny feeling. Today I had to give a report in my 31 , and I had been afraid to do so for a long time.
Mom came into the kitchen, asking , “Are you ready, 32 ?”
“ Yes.” I answered quietly. 33in fact I wasn’t ready!
On my way 34 school, I could feel my heart beating. I hated this!
