For years I went to school by bus, so I met many “familiar” strangers. I used to think it was impossible for us to be     1     friends.

The     3     cold clothing suggested that she didn’t have much money, but I guessed she was a kind girl. But why didn’t she talk with     4    ?

One evening, I got the answer. I     5     to the park nearby and found the girl sitting alone. I greeted her with the same smile, but this time she smiled     6    . As soon as she began her first words, I understood why she hadn’t spoken to us before.

I learned her story: Her     7     worked hard far away from home. She lived with her disabled grandparents. She said, “I tried to talk to you when we met on the bus, but I     8     not say what I wanted to say. I have no friends but you always smiled to me, so I also want to smile.” That evening, we exchanged our names and talked for a long time     9     old friends. I found that she was     10     than before. Smile is the key to opening the door of heart. It can break the cold walls in front of us.

Then the     2     audition（试唱）came. I was in such a hurry that I didn’t get fully prepared. But I still did my     3    . Since it was my first time singing in front of so many people, I was     4     nervous. When I finished, the only problem was that I wasn’t loud enough. For the rest of the week, I practiced hard     5     it. It was such a great challenge for me because I was a quiet girl. But I knew I had to get over it.

I chose to sing the song A Little Happiness     6     was sung by a Chinese singer Hebe Tien. When I practiced during my free time, l realized that you never knew     7     hard it was to sing a song before you sang it. I needed to pay attention to not only the song I was singing, but also my facial expressions. During my audition, I even forgot     8     lyrics. But as I kept practicing, I got better and better.

On the day we performed, only about 30 people came to see the show. I     9     a deep breath（呼吸）and tried to be calm. The show was     10    . The school talent show was a good experience for me, and I had learned a lot from it.

A week later, my neighbor     9     me to his home for dinner. At his new kitchen, he took a photo of     10    . Later on, he gave me the photo as a present. It made me very proud.
