周一，17日，开学第一天

Monday,17th.TheFirstDayofSchool

今天是开学第一天。

我还没有从长假中缓过神来，就要上四年级了！

许多家长来送孩子报名上学。

街道上人来人往，学校里也熙熙攘攘，一年级学生那里更加乱糟糟。

我发现许多同学和老师都有了变化，还碰见了以前的老师。

我找到了自己的班级，却想着过去的假期和以前的老师，心中升起一丝伤感。

周二，18日，我们的班主任

Tuesday,18th.OurMaster

新班主任佩伯尼老师端坐在教室里，他看上去历经沧桑，不苟言笑。

许多从门口经过的同学都同他打招呼。

老师看到一个同学脸上长了痘痘，就关切地询问他。

老师缓慢地告诉我们：

他在这世上已经没有亲人，我们这些孩子就是他的一切。

课后，一个之前在他背后做鬼脸的同学向老师道歉。

我忽然喜欢上了佩伯尼老师。

周五，21日，不幸事件

Friday,21st.AnAccident

早上，我看到许多人在学校门口和校长办公室门口围着，其中夹杂着医生和警察。

原来，今早在街道十字路口处，三年级的罗贝蒂为了救一个低年级的同学不幸被汽车轧伤了脚。

罗贝蒂是一位炮兵上尉的孩子。

他的妈妈发疯般地挤了过来，不停地哭泣。

很快，一些人簇拥着罗贝蒂去医院了。

周六，22日，卡拉布利亚的孩子

Saturday,22nd.TheCalabrianBoy

我们班来了一位新同学。

老师说，新同学来自卡拉布利亚，他的家乡是意大利的一片光荣土地，出过许多名人，风景也很优美，要我们善待他。

老师请我们的班长德罗西上台，代表大家拥抱他，以示欢迎。

老师又说，我们意大利人不论在哪里，都要互相尊重和爱护。

我们都非常高兴，送给这位新同学许多学习用品。
