I gathered them around , patiently explained what sections/columns were needed for the newspaper and according to their specialties, reasonably distribute working tasks. Equipped with basic skills, we got down to business immediately, Mauro collecting
materials from the library and the museum, Juliette searching online for the stories and anecdotes behind culture, and Rachel hand-drawing pictures to match the articles. With everything in place as well as my polishing, our newspaper was finally born. Looking at the amazing work, we all smiled proudly, expectantly waiting for the results.
In the end, Mrs. B gave us an A on that assignment. And the assignment was passed around the class, who quite appreciated our newspaper and gave us thumb-ups. Seeing our devoted efforts(付出的努力) finally paid off, which never came easy, we hugged each other tightly and gave each other high fives(相互击掌庆贺). My group even threw me in midair, expressing their delight at getting a passing grade and, more importantly, their appreciation to me for my helping them out, who were often labelled as “not good” students. But I knew it was Mr. B that richly deserved the A, who not only brought out(激发) our hidden potentials, but also inspired the three’s confidence. This experience might be soon forgotten, but the influential power to lead us on a different track would carry us forward into the days ahead.这段经历可能很快就会被遗忘,但带领我们走上不同轨道的影响力将带领我们走向未来的日子。
