did not have enough time. I felt awkward(笨拙的) 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 night②, I spilled(洒出) water on my pillow.

5月24日是糟糕的一天,因为校车没有来,我们只好徒步去学校。天气炎热,令人讨厌。在学校里,英语老师,范老师提醒我诗歌朗诵比赛的事情。我大吃一惊,因为我已经忘记了比赛的事。我尽量在午饭时练习,但是时间不够。比赛时,我感到尴尬,只好低头看书。当我离开舞台时,掌声很少。我比赛得了最后一名。那天晚上上床睡觉时,我把水洒在了枕头上。

Draft B
The day everything went wrong③ 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 forgotten④, was that afternoon. There was no time to practise⑤ 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.
草稿B
在5月24日那天,所有的事情都不顺利。首先,我不得不等校车等了30分钟。校车没有来,我决定步行去学校。那天天气炎热且令人疲倦。我到学校后出现了另一个问题。英语老师范老师,一个大块头但很友好的男人,看到我并且告诉我一件令人不悦的意外之事。他大声地提醒我那天下午有诗歌朗诵比赛,我早已经把它忘了。在午饭时没有时间来练习,我只好照着书读而不是背诵诗歌。当我离开舞台时,只有寥寥无几的掌声。我在比赛中得了倒数第一,我并不感到意外。那天晚上在我要上床睡觉时,这倒霉的一天中最后的问题出现了。我把一杯水放在床边,但是当我上床睡觉时,水全都洒在我的枕头上。
