7、stairs. 因此，当我跑了很短的一段路之后，我就会喘不过气来，或者爬楼才爬到一半就得停下来休息。因此，上小学时有的孩子见了我这种状况就会笑话我。Sometimes, too, I was too weak to go to school so my education suffered. 有时候我的身体太虚弱上不了学，因此落了许多功课。 Every time I returned after an absence, I felt stupid because I was behind the others.每次缺课之后，我就觉得自己很笨，因为我比别人落后了。 My life is a lo
8、t easier at high school because my fellow students have accepted me. 我在中学时期的生活比在小学时要轻松多了，因为我的同学起先承受了我的状况。The few who cannot see the real person inside my body do not make me annoyed, and I just ignore them. 还有些同学看不到我的内心世界，但是我并不生气，只是不去理睬他们罢了。 All in all I have a good life. 总而言之，我生活得挺好。 I am happy to
