Every year,
our school has a dance for all the students. It's a little funny seeing friends
in clean shoes and trousers or colorful dresses, instead of the usual school
uniform.
Most of us
think the dance is great fun-even the teachers enjoy being there. 1,
two weeks ago someone said that there would be no live band this year-only CDs.
"I
don't believe it!"Amy
cried out during the lunch break, "Someone said the school couldn't2a
band, and they think it's too noisy anyway," added Daniel.
"Well,
I don't think it's good enough without a band!" said Angela, "and I'm
going to see what can be done."
Angela was
as good as her word. In the afternoon she went3to
see the school headmaster who agreed to give the situation some more thought.
And he suggested that one possibility for having a band was to increase the
price ticket from $ 5 to $ 10. Angela had to find out whether the students would
like to do that.
"I
need all of you to help me," she told our group before school the next
day.
"Mr
Berry gave me a list of all the names, and suggested we ask each other their4about
the band and the extra cost." During the day we asked around as Angela
suggested and wrote down people's feelings about the band and the cost.
We were
amazed how much support there was for the band and5agreed
to pay the extra $5, "I'm surprised." smiled Mr Berry, when we gave
him the results. "I really thought that only a few people wanted their
band and that the cost would be too high. OK. Angela, your next task is to find
a good band and line them up for the dance."
Angela
jumped6and broke the news to Amy and Daniel.
"You're amazing, "smiled Daniel to Angela as he thought how close
they came to having a less than perfect dance.
