 Mom came into the kitchen, asking , “Are you ready,   17   ?” “ Yes.” I answered quietly.    18  in fact I wasn’t ready!  On my way  19   school, I could feel my heart

beating. I hated this! I went into Mrs. Owens’ class. She was smiling, and saying   20   to all her students as she did every morning.

“ Hi, Sam,” she said to me as I walked 21  the classroom. “ Hi,” I said and quickly sat in my 22   . I looked at the clock. The time was near.

Then, I looked up, and everyone was looking at me. Mrs. Owens knew I was   25   , so she came beside me, and put her hand on my back.

She said to the class, “Sam has worked very hard on his  26  ,and I know it is a very interesting report.” Then she turned to me and asked, “Sam,  27  did you like best about your report on Hawaii?”
