Every year, our school has a dance for all the students. It's a little funny seeing friends in clean shoes and trousers or colorful dresses,instead of the usual school uniform(制服).
Most of us think the dance is great fun—even the teachers enjoy being there. 1, two weeks ago someone said that there would be no live band this year—only CDs.
“I don't believe it! ”Amy cried out during the lunch break. “Someone said the school couldn't 2 a band, and they think it's too noisy anyway.”Added Daniel.
“Well, I don't think it's good enough without a band! ” said Angela. “And I'm going to see what can be done.”
Angela was as good as her word. In the afternoon she went 3 to see the school headmaster who agreed to give the situation some more thought. And he suggested that one possibility for having a band was to increase the price ticket from $5 to $10. Angela had to find out whether the students would like to do that.
“I need all of you to help me, ” she told our group before school the next day.
“Mr. Berry gave me a list of all the names, and suggested we ask each other their 4 about the band and the extra cost.” During the day we asked around as Angela suggested, and wrote down people's feelings about the band and the cost.
We were amazed how much support there was for the band and 5 agreed to pay the extra $5. “I'm surprised, ” smiled Mr. Berry, when we gave him the results. “I really thought that only a few people wanted their band and that the cost would be too high. OK, Angela, your next task is to find a good band and line them up for the dance.”
Angela jumped 6 and broke the news to Amy and Daniel. “You're amazing, ”smiled Daniel to Angela as he thought how close they came to having a perfect dance.
