Audio Passage
“Our class was asked to help organize the school fair. At first, I thought it would be easy, but soon I realized we had bitten off more than we could chew. There were booths to set up, games to prepare, and prizes to order. We had to sort out who was responsible for each job. It was tiring but also exciting. Working together on something big can be rewarding, especially when you see it come to life. By the end of the day, we were exhausted but proud of our progress.”
