Lesson 1 - It’s Just a Zit!
B1L1 課本ppt.pptxB1L1 課本pdf檔.pdfI still remember1 the night before my first day of high school. I wanted to be perfect2 on that first day. After everything was ready, I happily went to bed.
When I woke up the next morning, I was very excited3. “Today will be great!” I thought. However4, when I saw myself in the mirror, I let out a cry. There was a big zit on my nose!
I was really upset5. The zit would surely ruin my first day of school. Fortunately6, the day went well. No one said anything about my ugly zit! However, I thought everyone would certainly7 talk about it behind my back for the rest8 of the year.
The next year, on my first day of school, I didn’t have any zits on my face. I said to my best friend, “This is a good start!”
“I don’t understand9,” she said.
I asked, “Didn’t you all talk about my zit on the first day of school last year?”
To my surprise10, she said, “Certainly not, but you must remember my ugly hair.”
“No, I don’t,” I replied11.
I finally12 understood something. Most people care about only their own problems and have no time to think about others’.
