Then Ms Jenkins called my name. “Cindy, you’ll the solo(独唱)!” she said. I couldn’t believe this I saw Judy’s smile. She even gave me a thumbs-up(竖起大拇指) . For the first time all week, I felt a tiny spark(火花) of hope that maybe I really could do this.
The big day finally arrived. I felt a little worried before I walked onto the stage. I stood front and centre on stage. The spotlight circled me, and everyone’s was on me. I felt so that my hands shook. I couldn’t think, let alone sing.
Then a voice came from behind, “You can do it!” Judy’s words helped me down.
I took a deep and sang out. But all that came out were terrible sounds! At that very moment, I heard Judy’s perfect note(音调). Then she gave me a soft touch and I found my right note at once. My voice and matched hers. When the next note came, I was all me. The rest of the solo went really well!
As the song ended, a great cheer went up throughout the hall. All the teachers and students clapped for me. Judy was the first to hug me.
“Thanks, Judy!” I said.
She just smiled, “What are for?”
“You’re right!” This time I hugged her, enjoying the great feeling of being her friend. We together like glue!
