RAISE YOUR HAND
“Who wants to read for us today?” Mrs. Henderson asked.
Ling went to raise her hand but hesitated. She wanted to read, but she felt her stomach start to flutter nervously. What if she made a mistake and everyone in the class laughed at her?
Since Ling and her family had moved to America, her English had really been improving. Still, sometimes she pronounced some words in a funny way.
Ling had worked hard on her short story all week and she was excited about it. If only she could get some opinions from her classmates, then she could finish it.
So she took a deep breath and raised her hand. She was shaking, scared and nervous, but didn’t care.
