Our house has been noisier since my new stepsister and stepmother — Jen and Mom — moved in. I called her Mom, but the word made me feel uncomfortable, like wearing a pair of shoes that pinched (夹脚). I didn’t remember my own mother; she died in an accident when I was a baby. It had always been just Dad and me. But so much changed. Sometimes I wished I had magic to change it back.

I heard Dad’s footsteps upstairs. “Do you want to take Jen skating?” he asked.

“I guess so.” I sighed, thinking about how Dad and I usually spent the weekends going fishing. That was my favorite activity. But this year, Dad was too busy helping Mom cook.

“Thanks,” Dad said and put his arm around my shoulders. “We’ll make a snowman later,” he promised.

“Yeah,” I agreed, not too sure we’d have time.

Mom handed us some homemade cookies with a smiling face as we grabbed our skates. I had to admit Mom came up with good ideas sometimes. Even though I liked that, I still couldn’t help but feel as if she were changing everything.

“No, thanks, I’m not hungry.” I said. “Ready?” I asked Jen. She nodded, and we headed out the front door.

The snow crunched (嘎吱作响) under our boots as we walked down the street. The silence was awkward. “Did you go skating a lot last year?” I asked, blurting out (脱口而出) the first thing that came to my mind.

Jen shook her head and looked at me. Finally she said, “On the weekends, Mom and I always went to visit some friends on a farm. I especially loved seeing the cute rabbits.”

Before that, I’d never even thought about how Jen may be feeling. She not only had a new stepfather and stepbrother, but also had a new town and home. Jen used to live near a lake, but had to move to the north with us. She had more changes than me.

Paragraph 1:

Suddenly, I didn’t feel quite sorry for myself.
