Every year, schools in Australia have a "Big Day".
Students put their old things on sale for charity. The
1 will be used to help others. And at my school, the topic of Big Day is only about
2! After lunch, each
3 got a stall(摊位). All the students took turns running their grade's stalls. Each one only had 10 minutes so that
4 could have fun. Every stall had their main
5. For example, for Grade Ten's stall, we
6 different drinks. The most popular one was an Oreo milkshake
7 ice cream. For Grade Eleven's stall, the focus was the cheap lollipops, which only cost 1 per packet.
I could only work from 1:50 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. But it was the
8 moment of the activity. The stall was usually crowded with quite a lot of people. I arrived at our stall three
9 earlier.
My partners arrived even earlier. They waved at me with big smiles on faces, and said
10, "Come here! We need some help!" I was pulled to a table with a lot of paper cups. I was
11 to shake each cup for 30 seconds to make it taste better.
However, when I shook the first cup for nearly 20 seconds, the salesman shouted, "Hey!
12! People are waiting!" So I sped up and finally gave it to the
13 and he took it away with satisfaction.
After a while I was tired out and I couldn't even
14 my own fingers. Finally, I
15 my work and bought a milkshake. It tasted a little bit sweeter.
