the seats in our school reading-room are not enough for all the students. many people get there very early to "seize" a seat every day. so do i. one day a "special" thing happened to me. and i learned a lesson that i shall never forget.
it happened on a wednesday morning last january, just before our final examation. i got to the reading-room very early to occupy a seat. i put a book on the desk and then went to have breakfast. but when i hurried back into the reading-room, i found someone was sitting on the seat which i had occupied in advance. i ran to him immediatly and shouted at him angrily, "go away. it"s my seat." everyone raised their eyes and stared at me unfriendly. my face turned red and i felt ashamed of myself. i took my book and fled helter-skelter before so many eyes.
i dared not go to the reading-room for several days. i learned a lesson in the reading-room. since then i have been keeping the lesson in mind: to be polite to everyone.
the seats in our school reading-room are not enough for all the students. in order to "seize" a seat, i go there very early every morning. just because of this, a special story happened to me one day. i learned a lesson in the reading-room that i will remember all my life.
it took place on a monday morning in october. after occupying a seat in the reading-room, i went to fetch a bottle of boiled water. when i returned to the reading-room, i found that a girl student was sitting on my seat. immediately i ran to her and shouted at her angrily, "why have you taken my seat? go away.!" everybody in the reading-room looked up from their books at me unfriendly. at once i brushed with shame. i rushed out of the reading-room with my book. i can never forget those "eyes".
this is the lesson i"ve learned in the reading-room: i shall respect other people.
