The teacher looked at Mary and asked her to sit on her seat. After class, the teacher asked Mary to come to her office and asked why she was late. Mary told her the whole story this morning. The teacher asked her to get up earlier and not to be late for class again. Sample 1: 易

The teacher looked at Mary and said, “ Why are you late and where is your homework, Mary?” “I had a bad morning today,” Mary said sadly .“I’m sorry to hear that, but may I know what happened? ”said the teacher. Then Mary told the teacher and the whole class knew her story. All her classmates laughed loudly after it. Some of them said, “Poor Mary!”Sample 2:易
The teacher looked at Mary and asked angrily.”Oh Mary, can you tell me why you are late for the class?””Sorry, teacher. I didn’t get up until it was time for school today…… And my brother was in the bathroom so I couldn’t wash my face…… Then I found out that I didn’t take my school and keys……Oh, the most important thing was that I missed the bus! ” All her classmates laughed at her. ”You are so unlucky!” Mary’s classmate laughed again. Mary’s face turned red and tears came to her eyes. ”Please stop!”Her teacher shouted ,” This isn’t a funny story. Remember, we shouldn’t laugh at other’s mistakes. Mary, take your seat and we’ll go on with our lesson. ” The class became very quiet. Mary smiled.Sample 3:中

The teacher looked at Mary and kept silent.
“Well, teacher. I’m really sorry for being late” she explained immediately. Breathing hard，her hair was mess. Her clothes are not as tidy as usual either. She was already too tired to speak anything, so she moved herself toward the wall and rested for a while.
“Well， Mary, have you noticed that there is something wrong?” She asked Mary with great surprise.” “Yeah. My shirt is not tidy. I haven’t washed my face and…” The students began to laugh. Sample 4: 难

The teacher couldn’t stay serious anymore and finally burst out laughing. Other students couldn’t help laughing either.
Mary looked up and her face turned red. She was so hurry that she went into a wrong class!
“ Oh, my god! What an unlucky day!” Mary ran out of the door, hoping herself to be luckier tomorrow.


What a terrible day! I thought to myself. Have you ever had a day that was very disappointing? For me ,it was the day I went to school late and even worse without my keys or my backpack. How could I explain to my teacher? Our teacher is so strict with students that she never allows us to break any rules. I wished I hadn’t overslept and I had missed bus either. I was so upset. When I walked into class，everyone stared at me. The teacher asked me :“why are you late for school? You are one hour late! ”“I...”finally，I was punished by teacher.
Sample 5: 难 My alarm rang. I woke up from my dream. Fortunately，it’s just a dream. I was relieved. And now ,it’s time to go to school!

Organize the passage: put them in correct order Probably the worst day I have ever I had was when I went to the zoo with my five-year-old nephew.
I was taking a photo of one of the penguins, when I heard a splash. I looked around and saw that Jack had fallen into the pond. Luckily, just at that moment…
We finally got to the zoo at about ten. There was an enormous queue to get in and Jack started to get very bored.
We had left home very early to get to the zoo before the crowds. There we were at 8 o’ clock in the morning waiting for the bus. I was carrying a bag with our packed lunch and Jack had his camera with him. It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining and the birds were singing.
In the end, the keeper took us to the office and we dried out Jack’s clothes.

May 24 was a bad day because the school bus did not arrive and we had to walk to school. It was hot and tiresome. At school, Mr Fan, the English teacher, reminded me about the poetry reading competition. This surprised me because I had forgotten about the competition. I tried to practice at lunch time, but I did not have enough time. I felt awkward and had to look down at my book during the competition. There was only a little applause when I left the stage. I came last in the competition. When I got into bed that night. I spilled water on my pillow. Draft A The day everything went wrong was May 24. First, I had to wait 30 minutes for the school bus. When it did not arrive, I decided to walk to school. The day was hot and tiring. The next problem happened when I arrived at school. Mr. Fan, the English teacher, a large but friendly man, saw me and gave me a nasty surprise. He reminded me in his loud voice that the poetry reading competition, which I had forgotten, was that afternoon. There was no time to practise at lunch time, and I read from my book instead of reciting the poems. As I left the stage, there was only some quiet applause. I was not surprised when I came last in the competition. The last problem of this terrible day happened when I got into bed that night. I kept a glass of water near the bed, and as I got into bed it fell over onto my pillow. Draft BDraft C May 24, 2005 will live in my mind forever. The day started to go wrong the instant I left home. Normally, the school bus arrives at 7:30, but that day it didn’t arrive at all! After waiting for ages, I decided to walk. This was a big mistake! The sun was already boiling hot and you can imagine how I felt by the time I arrived at school. But the trouble was only just beginning. As I climbed up the stairs to the classroom. I heard a booming voice behind me. It was Mr Fan, the English teacher, calling out my name. “Good luck in the poetry reading competition this afternoon”, said Mr Fan as he quickly passed me. Of course, I had forgotten all about the lunch break. The result? I couldn’t remember any of the poems and had to keep looking down at my book. The more I looked down, the redder my face became. I felt tense and dizzy. When I left the stage people didn’t applaud very loudly and it came as no surprise that I was last in the competition. And so the day went on. Even then, my troubles were not over. As I got into bed, my hand knocked over the glass of water on the bedside table. Water spilled all over my pillow. What a clumsy end to an awful day!Answer the questions to assess your piece of writing.Have you shown the sequence of events? How?
