Memories of the Blackboard Newspaper
One day after class, everyone was enjoying leisure time in the classroom. Most of my classmates were chatting with each other, making it very noisy.
Suddenly, the teacher yelled for Li Xing and Linda to come to her office after class. After the bell rang, Linda and I assembled in the teacher's office. Both of us were confused as to why she called us there.
The head teacher said, “Because both of you are good at handwriting and drawing pictures, I w responsible for the want both of you to be responsible for the blackboard newspaper.” Her words were like a missile launched in my head. I was flabbergasted.
After school, Linda and I remained in the classroom while the other students swarmed outside. “Let’s begin,” Linda said to me. I stepped forward reluctantly because she embarrassed me several days ago. I had been discussing an exercise with my desk mate. Linda, the self appointed class disciplinarian, interupted us, saying, “Li Xing, don’t chat in class.” Meanwhile, all of the other students fixed their eyes on me, whispering and tittering. It was so awkward that I blushed with shame and ducked my head.
Linda held my hand and asked, “What is your opinion about the theme for the blackboard newspaper?”
“I have no idea,” I replied, and pulled my hands away from her to express my discontent. I did all I could to ignore her. We were at a complete deadlock.
As the time went by, it grew dark outside and thethe wind was raging. I began to worry that we couldn’t finish it on time. Linda frowned as if her anxiety was the same as mine.
She made her way to me, and grabbing my hand, sincerely said, “Are you still angry for that day I snipped at you? I know that I wrongly blamed you and embarrassed you. I expect you to receive my apology. Moreover, you are the monitor who should serve as the role model.”
“I am sorry, I also made mistakes. I should have talked to my classmate after class instead of being a bad influenc to the others. Let’s work together!” Touched by her sincerity, I frankly admitted my error with smiles.
After clearing the misunderstanding, we exchanged our views and reached an agreement. We cooperated with each other, which saved a lot of time and created better results. Exhausted but cheered, we finally edited a satisfying blackboard newspaper.
