Question

    I will never forget my first English class. The teacher told us that his English name was Jason. It means a man who knows a lot. Then he asked all of us to think of an English name for ourselves. I thought about it for a long time. Then I got an idea-why didn’t I call myself Apple? I loved the fruit. I wrote the name on a piece of paper and gave it to Jason. Later, when Jason called “Apple”, three girls stood up at the same time.

The class laughed(大笑). Jason stopped them and said, “Girls, I’m sorry to say Apple is not really an English name. Would you like me to give you one?”

Of course we’d love to. Finally Jason called me April. He said it was a beautiful name. I love the name.

If you call “April” now, I will say hi to you.
