Question

My First Day

I was still shy before a crowd. And my first day at the new school made me laughed by my classmates. I was sent to the blackboard to write my name. I knew my name, and knew how to write it, but standing at the blackboard with the  of so many pupils on my back made my hand    __ and I was unable to write a single letter.

“  __ your name,” the teacher called to me. I lifted the white chalk to the blackboard and, as I was about to write, my mind went blank; I could not remember my name,     the first letter. Somebody laughed and I became      .

“Just forget us and write your name,” the teacher called and walked to my side,    at me to give me confidence.

“What’s your name?” she asked.

“Richard,” I whispered.

“Then write it.”

I turned to the blackboard and lifted my hand to write, but then I was     again. I tried to collect my senses but I could remember nothing. I   how totally I was failing and I grew weak and leaned(斜靠) my hot forehead       the cold blackboard. The room burst into a loud      and my muscles froze. I sat and     myself. Why did I always appear so nervous     I was called upon to perform in a crowd? I knew how to write as well as any other pupil in the classroom, and there was no    that I could read better than any of them, and I could talk      when I was sure of myself. Then why did strange faces make me freeze? I sat with my ears and neck     , hearing the pupils around me whisper, hating myself.
