Para one
•I felt extremely embarrassed and tense.
At the helpless point, it was Henry who
helped me out of trouble.
Para two
• After the show I reflected on what I had
done to him. I expressed my thanks to
him and at the same time I made an
apology to him. His kindness melted my
heart and changed my prejudice to him
and I finally accepted him genuinely.
1. Find out the key words of the first two
senteces.
2. Make the connections.
3. Find a proper theme for your story
• And then, suddenly, the string knot on my skirt
came untied. Extremely worried that I'd lose face in
front of all the audience, I could feel my heart
pounding. With both my hands holding the song book, I
was at a loss what to do, when Henry, who noticed my
embarrassment, came to my aid. He stepped forward
secretly, swiftly worked the untied string together, just
as he always did and whispered, ‘Now, done!’ by my
ear.
• I shot Henry a grateful glance. And he responded
with a reassuring(令人放心的) smile. Shortly afterwards
(没过多久), our performance was extremely
successful and the audience responded with several
rounds of thunderous applause. In the backstage, I
thanked Henry genuinely and apologized for my not
saving his book in the bathtub. Shrugging(耸肩) his
shoulder, Henry mumbled(喃喃自语), "We are family,
aren't we?" I nodded firmly, knowing a flower of
kindness and friendship began to blossom in both of
our hearts.

3. Vivid description of emotion, action,
psychological activity, and environment
Thanks
• Before long, it was my turn. I went onstage, song
book in hand. As we kids lined up before Henry's
dad, who was playing the part of our father, I
realized how poorly I'd tied the string on my skirt
which was over leggings(打底裤). I should have
asked my mom for help.(para 11)
• I shot Henry a grateful glance.
• The community theater was busy when we got there.
Theater used to be what my mom and I did
together—one play a year for our special thing. With
Henry involved, it didn't seem so special anymore.
