Tom's father got transferred and his family had to move to a new city. Tom was not happy at all. He was worried and scared because the next day would be his first day at his new school. He did not know any of the kids or teachers and wondered if anyone would like him. Tom hoped that he would fit in. At the same time, he thought about his old friends who he missed very much. He would not see them again for a very long time and he felt sad. At the dinner table that night, Tom did not eat. He looked at his food and felt sick. Tom had many worries about the following day. Neither watching television nor playing on the computer helped take his mind off them. He kept thinking about the same questions over and over. What if everyone is mean and they want to beat me up? What if my teacher hates me? Tom went to bed that night with these questions and got very little sleep. In the morning, he got up and put his brand-new uniform on for the first time. He went to school with an empty stomach and hoped that everything would turn out fine. 湯姆的父親被調職,所以他們家必須搬到一個新的城市。湯姆一點都不快樂。他既擔心又害怕,因為隔天是他在新學校的第一天。他一個同學或老師都不認識,也不知道大家喜不喜歡他。湯姆希望他能融入新環境。同時,他也想到那群他非常想念的老朋友。他有很長一段時間不會再看到他們,所以他感到很難過。 當晚在飯桌前,湯姆沒有吃飯。他看著他的食物,覺得食不下嚥。關於明天湯姆有許多擔憂。看電視和玩電腦都無法使他忘卻煩惱。他一直反覆地想著同樣問題。要是大家都很壞,都想打我怎麼辦?要是我的老師討厭我呢?那天晚上湯姆帶著這些問題入睡,而且也睡不多。早上他起床,第一次穿上全新的制服。他空著肚子去學校,希望結果一切都能順利。 | |
