the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don't have enough . Could you help me, Suzy?”

“And finally,” said Mr. Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a (an) award. I'm sure you've all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of your own students them.”
I could hear everyone whispering (窃窃私语), “Who in our school could draw well?”
Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “ this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves (应得) a , too. Our mystery artist is our new student, Suzy Khan!”
Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional
artist's set. “Thank you,” she cried.
I , at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she'd probably never
anything in her whole life.
Everyone started to their hands, Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause (掌声) was deafening (震耳欲聋). I knew then Suzy was going to be all right.
