Our junior high school life is coming to an end. So my classmates and I decided to make a special1for our own favorite teacher in the ceramics (陶艺) class.
After being dried for a long time in the fire, our gifts for teachers were2. Chen Hui took them out of the kiln (窑). CRASH (碎裂声) ! His cup, Xiao Yao's3, and my heart broke into pieces all over the floor.
"My elephant lost her trunk (象鼻) !" Xiao Yao shouted. "My heart is broken!" I4almost at the same time.
"I'm so sorry!" Chen Hui said.
"Bring5to the repair station," said Xiao Yao, "Let's see what we can do with some magic6the magic glue worked only on Chen Hui's cup. The trunk and glue. " We tried many times, the heart were in too many broken bits to put back together.
"Now my elephant has a short nose instead of a trunk," said Xiao Yao, "It7like a little dog with big ears. And it's8lovely! Let's call it doglephant!"
"A cute doglephant! Cool! You just turned the accident into a happy one!" I said. And right then, I knew9to do. Maybe I could make a mosaic (镶嵌画) by using the pieces of my broken heart.
When it was all done, everyone thought it was pretty cool. Yes, my present didn't turn out the way I'd planned, but it turned out even10！
