2 . The Talent Show (达人秀) in our school was coming near. Everybody wanted to show himself at the Talent Show. My classmate Becky could play the piano very well. Julie was good at singing English songs. Jeff could do Chinese kung fu. They were busy for the show after school. But I had nothing (没有事) to do. I was worried (担忧). What could I do?
To my surprise (吃惊), my classmate, Laura, asked me to be an actor for a puppet show (木偶戏) at the opening ceremony (开幕式) with her! “Me? Can I?” “Yes!” she answered. When I was free, I studied the play (剧本) carefully and practiced (练习) it really hard. I also learned from my classmates. I made some mistakes (犯错误), but the puppet show was a great success (成功). Everyone in my class gave me a big hand. I cried (哭) but felt happy.
Two days later, I told an English story at the Talent Show. I never did that before. I worried about it first, but I looked for some useful ways online and asked my teachers for some help. On the big day, I could tell it really well.
Now, I start to think what I can do for next year’s Talent Show—to show myself again!

10 . Many children had their birthday parties at home. In the past, the parties were usually just for children. Parents would leave their kids at the party. When the party ended, they took them home.
But now, it is becoming more common (常见的) for all of the parents to stay at the party, too. The kids play games there and parents can talk with others.
Kids and parents like different kinds of food. So when parents come to a child’s birthday party, usually these food is for them, like cheese, crackers (薄脆饼干) and fruit platters (水果拼盘). At the same time the kids often enjoy hot dogs and potato chips.
Party games are not just for kids, either (也). The children play games like Winner, Chicken dinner. The parents may dance or play card games.
