Nina Martinez leaves the classroom and walks down the hall. She feels bad this morning, because she's going to sing in the school Talent Show(达人秀). She loves to sing but she doesn't like singing in front of other people.
Nina stands at the door for a moment, and then goes inside. In the room many children are talking happily. Nina sees Luz, James and others from her class. Some teachers are sitting on the chairs. They're waiting for the children to get quiet.
"Nina Martinez!" someone calls out. It is Mrs. Brent, the music teacher.
Nina stands up from her chair. She feels small as she walks to the front. Her face is hot, but her hands are as cold as ice. She wants to sing, but the song doesn't come out.
"Close your eyes just as you are alone," says Mrs. Brent. "Forget(忘记) about everyone else. Just sing."
Nina is worried, but she gives it a try(尝试). She closes her eyes and sings out. The song is out like milk.
After the show, Mrs. Brent says to her, "Nina, you are great in the show!"
At that moment, Nina says "Thank you" to Mrs. Brent happily.
