The First Day of Classes
ОглавлениеIt was Monday morning, and Lisa woke up early. Today was the first day of classes after the holidays. She felt excited but also a little tired.
«Five more minutes,» she said and closed her eyes again.
«Lisa! Get up! You will be late!» her mom called from the kitchen.
Lisa jumped out of bed. «Oh no!» she said. She quickly got dressed, brushed her teeth, and ran to the kitchen.
«Eat your breakfast,» her mom said.
«I don’t have time,» Lisa answered.
«You always need time for breakfast,» her mom said строго.
Lisa took a piece of toast and a glass of milk. She ate quickly and looked at the clock.
«I have to go now!» she said.
«Have a good day!» her mom smiled.
Lisa ran to the bus stop. When she arrived, the bus was already there.
«Wait!» she shouted.
The driver saw her and opened the door. «Hurry up,» he said.
«Thank you!» Lisa said and got on the bus.
On the bus, she saw her friend Mia.
«Hi!» Mia said. «How was your holiday?»
«It was great!» Lisa said. «I visited my cousins.»
«That sounds fun,» Mia said. «I stayed at home and watched movies.»
When they arrived at school, many students were in the yard. Everyone was talking about their holidays.
«I don’t want the holidays to end,» Mia said.
«Me too,» Lisa laughed.
The bell rang, and students went to their classrooms.
In the classroom, their teacher, Mr. Davis, was waiting.
«Good morning, everyone,» he said. «Welcome back!»
«Good morning,» the class answered.
«Today we will talk about your holidays,» Mr. Davis said. «Who wants to start?»
Mia raised her hand.
«I watched many movies and read two books,» she said.
«Very good,» Mr. Davis said.
Then Lisa spoke.
«I visited my cousins in another city. We played games and went to the park every day.»
«That sounds nice,» the teacher said.
After that, they started their lessons. First, they had English. Lisa liked English, so she listened carefully and answered questions.
Then they had Math. It was more difficult.
«I don’t understand this,» Lisa whispered to Mia.
«I can help you later,» Mia said.
At break time, Lisa and Mia went to the cafeteria. It was very busy.
«I’m so hungry,» Lisa said.
They bought sandwiches and juice and sat at a table near the window.
«So, what is your favorite subject this year?» Mia asked.
«English,» Lisa said. «And you?»
«I like Art,» Mia said. «I love drawing.»
After the break, they had a new subject — Science.
«This year will be interesting,» Lisa thought.
At the end of the day, Lisa felt tired but happy.
«How was your first day?» her mom asked in the evening.
«It was good,» Lisa said. «I saw my friends, and the classes were interesting.»
«Are you ready for tomorrow?» her mom asked.
Lisa smiled. «Yes… but I want to sleep first.»
