Almost everything was fantastic in the nature camp except for a girl, Elizabeth. When I saw her 1 alone in the hot sun at lunch, I asked her to eat with us under a shady (阴凉的) tree. However, Elizabeth refused my kind 2 . When we invited her to play volleyball with us, Elizabeth 3 our invitation, too. After a few more unfriendly refusals like that, I decided to stay away from Elizabeth.
It 4 that we were going on a nature 5 and that our instructor paired everyone up with a partner. Guess who my partner turned out to be? It was Elizabeth!
"What do you like to do 6 ?" I asked, trying to make small 7 as we started out. "I like to walk in peace and quiet," Elizabeth replied. So we had the quietest and most peaceful hike in the world 8 we saw a bird. "I think his wing is hurt. Poor little bird," Elizabeth said 9 . "He might be taking a rest over there," I said. Elizabeth nodded. Then she whispered, "But what if he's in 10 , like my granddad?" "Your granddad?" I said. "He fell and broke his leg the day the camp started. He's 11 in hospital and is in so much pain," Elizabeth explained. I noticed she was 12 . "I'm sorry for what I have done. For some reason, whenever I get really sad, I act 13 and want to be alone," she added.
"I get it," I said. "I don't always know how to14 it when I'm feeling down, either." "Thanks," she said, wiping off her tears.
After that, Elizabeth seemed to get along well with us, and I think she actually 15 the last days of the camp.
Next time, if someone is unfriendly, give him a second chance. Maybe he's going through a difficult time.
