The New Teacher

We have a new teacher today. Her name is Elif. She is young.

She stands in front of the class. Her face is red.

"Good morning," she says. "My name is... " She stops. She forgets her own name.

The class is very quiet. Then a boy laughs. Soon we all laugh.

Elif laughs too. "My name is Elif," she says. "I am nervous. This is my first day."

"It is our first day too," a girl says. "This is a new school for us."

Elif looks at us. "Then we start together," she says.

Now she is our favourite teacher.
