The bell rang once, and everyone stood up. We thought lunch break was starting. Then it rang again, longer than usual.
"Is there a drill today?" Mika asked.
Our teacher opened the door and listened to the announcement. "There is a problem with the kitchen," he said. "Lunch will be ten minutes late, so please stay in the classroom."
Some students looked disappointed, but Ryo raised his hand. "Can we use the time to finish our group poster?"
Ten minutes was not long, but it was enough to choose our title.

铃声响了一次,大家都站了起来。我们以为午休开始了。接着铃又响了一次,比平时响得更久。
美香问:‘今天有演习吗?’
老师打开门,听了广播通知后说:‘食堂出了点问题。午餐会晚十分钟,请大家留在教室。’
有些同学露出失望的神情,亮却举起手问:‘我们能用这段时间完成小组海报吗?’
十分钟虽然不长,但足够我们选定标题了。
