Paragraph 1:
Now, Sally stood nervously in front of her class with Bella sitting by her side. Her classmates
focused on her, waiting for her to speak. She was quite familiar with the hand signals because she had
practiced for weeks. However, her mouth seemed frozen tightly. She took a deep breath and was ready to
open her mouth. But still, she couldn't make a sound at all! Sally returned to her seat, not looking at anyone,
not even Bella.
Paragraph 2:
The next week, she told me she wanted to try again, looking up at me with determination.
I agreed to give her another chance. After she walked to the front of the classroom, all the kids were silent.
For a few seconds, she just stood shyly without saying anything. Then, she whispered, "This is Bella." After
that, she gave commands with her hand signals. Her classmates were so surprised to see Bella
could understand Sally's commands! Little by little, her voice was louder with more confidence. She made it
this time! How happy we were!
