My stomach hurt on the morning of the English test. I had felt nervous the night before, so I thought the pain was only worry. At school, I told my teacher anyway. She asked how long it had hurt and took me to the nurse's room.
After some time, I felt better, but the nurse did not guess a cause from one sentence. She called my family, and we decided together what to do next. I took the test later that week.
When I returned, a friend asked, “Was it just nerves?” I said, “I don't know.” I had learned a useful sentence: I can describe how I feel without pretending I know why it happened.

英语考试那天早上,我的肚子痛了起来。前一晚我一直紧张,便以为只是担心考试引起的。不过,到了学校,我还是告诉了老师。她问我痛了多久,然后带我去了保健室。
过了一阵,我好受些了。护士并没有只听一句话就断定原因,而是联系了我的家人。我们一起商量接下来怎么办。那周晚些时候,我参加了考试。
回校后,朋友问:‘只是因为紧张吗?’我回答:‘我不知道。’我学会了一句很有用的话:我可以描述自己的感受,不必假装知道它为什么发生。
