Every year, our school has a dance party for all the students. Most of us think the party is great 21 — even the teachers enjoy it. 22, last Sunday, someone said that there would be no band this year—only CDs.
“I don’t believe it!” Amy 23 out during the lunch break.
“Someone says the school won’t 24 a band, because they think it’s too noisy anyway.” Added Daniel.
“Well, I don’t think it’s 25 enough without a band!” said Angela. “And I’m going to see what can be done.”
Angela was as good as her 26. In the afternoon she went to see the school headteacher who agreed to give the party some more 27. And the headteacher said that the only possibility (可能性) for 28 was to raise the price of each ticket from $5 to $10. Angela had to 29 whether (是否) the students would like to do that.
“I need all of you to help me,” she said to our group before school the next day. “Mr. Berry gave me a 30 of all the names, and told us to ask their opinions about the band and the cost.”
During the day, we asked around and wrote down people’s feelings. We were surprised how much 31 there was for the band and everyone agreed to pay more money.
When we gave Mr. Berry the 32, Mr. Berry said, “I really thought that few students want a band and the cost would be too high. OK, Angela, your next 33 is to find a good band and line them up for the dance.” Angela felt very happy and 34 the news to Amy and Daniel. “You’re 35.” Daniel said excitedly. All the children felt so happy that they jumped up.
