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's. 3, and my heart broke into pieces all over the floor.
"My elephant lost her trunk (象鼻)!"Xiao Yao shouted." My heart is broken!" I 4almost at the same time.
"I'm so sorry!"" Chen Hui said.
"Bring5 to the repair station," said Xiao Yao. "Let's see what we can do with some magic glue." We tried many times, 6 the magic glue worked only on Chen Hui's cup.
The trunk and 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." It7 like a little dog with big ears. And it's 8 : lovely! Let's call it doglephant!"
"A cute doglephant! Cool! You just turned the accident into a happy one!" I said. And right then, I knew 9 to do. Maybe I could make a mosaic(镶嵌画) by using the pieces of my broken heart.
When it was done, everyone thought it was pretty cool. Yes, my present didn't turn out the way I'd planned, but it turned out even 10!
