    This morning, I got a funny feeling. Today I had to give a report in my   31     , and I had been afraid to do so for a long time.

    Mom came into the kitchen, asking , “Are you ready,   32   ?”

    On my way    34    school, I could feel my heart beating. I hated this!

    I went into Mrs. Owens’ class. She was smiling, and saying   35   to all her students as she did every morning.

I got up slowly,    39    the ground as I walked to the front of the class. Then, I looked up, and everyone was looking at me. Mrs. Owens knew I was   40    , so she came beside me, and put her hand on my back.

She said to the class, “Sam has worked very hard on his    41   ,and I know it is a very interesting report.” Then she turned to me and asked, “Sam,    42    did you like best about your report on Hawaii?”
