Passage 6
体裁:记叙文 话题:个人情况 时间:8分钟
Anne woke up at 6:00 am this morning because it was the first day of school.She went into the bathroom,looked in the mirror and she started to scream.Her little sister woke up and went to see what was wrong.Anne started to cry,“It's the first day of school and my hair is a mess!”
Her little sister Emily shook her head,“Oh! Anne you woke me up for that.I'm going back to bed.”
“THANKS FOR THE HELP...NOT!” Anne screamed to her sister.Anne was really sad about her hair.She started to search through everything trying to find something to fix her hair.Finally she found some hairspray.It helped a little but not much so she went to pick out her clothes.She had no idea what to wear.It was either her new dress with little pink bows all over it or her favorite white but now brown Tshirt and ripped jeans since they were in style.She put on her Tshirt and jeans.
After she was finally done with that she went to the kitchen to find something to eat.After she ate she went back into the bathroom.Scared to look in the mirror she started to brush her teeth.She turned on her radio and started to dance.Forgetting about the slippery floor she slipped in the puddle and hurt her head but trying to be brave she got back up and continued to brush her teeth.
She rinsed_out her mouth and went back in the living room.She glanced at the clock.It was 7:00.She hurried to get on the bus.She waited and waited,but the bus never came.So she went inside to see what time it was.It was 8:00.
She got scared.She was running through the house screaming,“MOM! MOM! THE BUS FORGOT ME!”
Her mom woke up and sat up.She started to laugh.“School doesn't start till tomorrow,silly,” her mom chuckled.
Anne stood there a minute.“WHAT! I got up for nothing.I have to do this all again tomorrow,” she thought.
