She is always helpful to me. One morning,after class, I hurt my foot. She said: “Sister, it doesn’t matter. Let me sent you home by bike.” First, she ran to borrow a bike.Then she said: “I ride first,and then you take a seat.” She did what she said and I tried to jump to sit on the seat. But somehow, I failed to do so. •Next she began to ride the bike as quickly as she could. She is such a person that she is always lost into deep happiness, especially when she is helping others. At that time, even if she had back eyes, she couldn’t see that I was still standing on the ground. “Let’s go!” She cried happily and proudly. •You can imagine what I was feeling at that time.She sped up, and soon she disappeared in my sight. •Finally,when I walked back home painfully and slowly, she said to me: “Sister, no wonder I said several times that it was time to get down, but no one answered me!” Your show time!———Your own funny stories April Fool’s DayWhat did you do on April Fool’s Day this year?(with a partner brainstorm a funny story after class you could use for an April Fool’s Day.) ‘To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain, and play with it!’ Charlie Chaplin 。
