3 . After that initial meeting…. (Paragraph
1). Which is closest in meaning to the
Do Your Best (the zest from YES COURSE)
I was 12 years old when my family and
I moved to a new neighborhood. I was
starting my 6th
grade in a new school, with new people and no friends. I was a quiet
and shy person,
so I never hung out with the other neighborhood kids. Before school
had started, I
had met a few people who were in the same grade as me. After that
initial meeting,
I never saw them again until the first day of school.
For the first day of school, I asked
my mom to do my hair that morning so it
would look nice.
She did my hair in my regular hairstyle, 5 ponytails with the
barrettes on the
end. I arrived to school and went into my new classroom. Everyone
stopped their
conversation to turn and look at me. I looked around the classroom and
noticed that all
the females either had their hair in one ponytail or had it pressed and
curled into a
style. My hair was styled like the 3rd or 4th graders at that school. I was
so
embarrassed that I wanted to cry!

The first time I took a ferry was when
I took a ferry to cross from
Butterworth
to Penang Island. My family and I went to Penang for a holiday.
We arrived at the Ferry Terminal just
as the sun was setting. My father paid
the
fare at one of the toll-booths and we were brought into a lane. We had to
stop
behind
a row of cars to wait for the arrival of the next ferry.
Presently a light yellow ferry
arrived. Cars and motorcycles sped out of it.
Then,
the green light came for us to board. My father carefully drove the car onto
the
lower
deck of the ferry. It was an exciting new experience for me. I noticed the
words
"Pulau Undan" on a wall of the ferry.
As soon as the ferry was filled with
cars and motorcycles on the lower deck,
it
left the terminal and proceeded towards the island. I stood at the front end
of the
ferry
and watched the water whirl and twirl as the ferry cut through it. My sister
and
I
climbed up the stairs to the upper deck. It was filled with passengers who
either sat
on
the seats there or loitered around the area. Soon the short ride ended. We
hurried
back
down to the lower deck and got into our car when we saw Penang Island loom
closer
and closer.
Finally the ferry docked and my father
followed the row of cars out of the
ferry.
The car bumped a bit on the uneven ramp but soon we were on Penang itself.
My
first experience of taking a ferry was over. (Taken from
