One morning I was woken by my mother's angry voice. I opened my eyes and found it was seven forty,
so I jumped out of bed and rushed to a nearby bus stop without breakfast. Fortunately the bus started going
as soon as I got on it. I was sure I could reach the school before the bell rang.
However, the bus suddenly stopped. There was something wrong with it and we had to get off and wait
for another one. I felt I couldn't wait and the school was only fifteen minutes' walk, so I ran to the school as
fast as possible. Just at this moment, it began to rain hard.
I reached the classroom with all my clothes wet through. Mr. Smith, our physics teacher, had begun his
class. I was always afraid of him. I hesitated (犹豫) for a moment, and then I opened the door.
"It's you again, Jim," Mr. Smith said angrily. "I've told you not to be late, but you …". Then he suddenly
stopped when he noticed my wet clothes. He quickly took off his own jacket and asked me to put it on. "I
don't want you to catch a cold," he said kindly. I went to my seat with Mr. Smith's jacket on. It was a bit
large for me but I felt very warm in it. I found, for the first time, Mr. Smith's physics class so interesting and
I changed my mind, there and then, about being afraid of him.
