I believe I’ve gotten this more than once. One lady told me she thought I was 12 and even told her 14-year-old daughter the same. I saw lots of surprised faces because people were told I was actually 19 years old.

I’m actually 19 years old, which isn’t much of a problem. I’m like the oldest of my friends and the shortest, which is pretty funny. That’s probably one of the reasons I fit in so well with them.

I volunteered at a weekend school teaching young children. Parents always looked me up and down like “why is this 13-year-old girl teaching my child?!??!?” I guessed it was because I’m also petite(娇小)，and I didn’t know whether I had a childish face…??? Sometimes I found it funny, sometimes I found it annoying(令人气恼). But I just shrugged(耸肩)it off at last. You know, soon enough people got to know me and then realized I was not actually a 13-year-old girl.

This short thing used to be a problem for me, though. I was very very small when I was younger, so kids would pick on me. When I was 12, 8-year-old girls would look down at me like “I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU ’RE TWELVE!” I had always wanted to be tall．But now that I'm older, I got used to it, and I actually love it．You know, I'm fun sized!

A. short B. petite C. childish D. tall

A. like very much B. help friendlily

Yang Li, a five-year-old girl living next door to me, very clever. Because she is too old to go to school, she often asks me to teach herself to read, write and draw. She studies hardly and soon she learns a lot of. One evening last month I was doing my English homeworks when she came to my house. She asked me how I learned English. “You would find English a bridge to so much knowledge,” I said. She then wanted to learn English, either. She has learned many English words so far, but her parents are very grateful to me.
