B
My brother Toller is a very good dancer. He is 12 years old and has been dancing for about six years. He has won many awards(奖项). He loves being a dancer, but it wasn’t always this way.
One day, a new student named Morris joined Toller’s class. When he found out Toller was a dancer, he picked on my brother and called him names. This made other classmates do the same. It was a hard time for Toller. He stopped going to dance class. He was unhappy.
Toller’s dance teacher came to visit us. She wanted to know why Toller had stopped going to dance class. My parents and I were shocked; Toller hadn’t told us he had stopped! We all sat together and talked it out. Toller said he was being teased(嘲弄) at school. The teacher then asked him what was making him sad. He was sad mainly because he wanted to keep dancing.
We worked out a plan and role-played it together. My father pretended(假装) to be Morris. When he teased Toller about being a dancer, Toller replied, “Yes, I am a dancer. I’m good at it too. You are good at troubling people. You need to find something else to do.” It didn’t take long before Toller finally told Morris this. The other classmates stopped copying Morris. Soon, Morris didn’t have many friends. He stopped troubling Toller.
Toller danced hip hop for the talent show at school last week. Everyone cheered when he finished… even Morris. I feel happy for my brother.
