　　Fifth Grade Dance Competition (1)五年级舞蹈比赛(1)

　　Jenny is a fifth grader. She is considered one of the most popular girls in her class. She is very pretty, but that is not why she is considered popular. She is popular because she is known to be among the brightest in her class. She can do the most cartwheels in a row, but mostly, she has the talent to dance.

　　杰妮是一名五年级的学生。她被认为是班级中最受欢迎的女生。她非常漂亮，不过这不是她最受欢迎的原因，她受欢迎是因为她被认为是班级中最闪亮的女生。她会连续的侧手翻，但是大多数情况下，她有着跳舞的天赋。

　　Last year, she entered the school's dance competition and won the first place. Her whole class was there to support her. Since that day, she has been the class attraction. This year, the school is holding another dance competition, but there has been a change in this year's competition. The competition has to be done in pairs.

　　去年，她参加了学校舞蹈比赛并获得了冠军。整个班级都去支持她。自从那天之后，她成了班级的焦点。今年，学校又举办了一场舞蹈比赛，但是今年的舞蹈比赛有了一个变化，需要两个人一起完成。

　　Jenny's class was looking up to her with high expectations of her winning again this year. On the other hand, Jenny was unsure of this year's outcome. She wanted to enter the competition, but she had never danced with a partner before. She decided to ask some of the boys in her class to enter with her. They all said no to her because they did not know how to dance. Jenny was becoming hesitant about joining.

　　杰妮的班级对她寄予了厚望，期待她能够获得今年的冠军。另一方面，杰妮不确定今年的不足之处。她想要参加这场比赛，但是她从来没有和同伴跳过舞。她打算邀请班级里的一些男同学和她一起参加，但是他们都拒绝了因为他们不会跳舞。杰妮开始犹豫要不要参加比赛。

　　She finally decided to turn to one of her closest friends, Carl. Jenny and Carl had known each other since the first grade. Carl was reluctant to join at first because he also didn't know how to dance. Jenny insisted. He eventually agreed to join the competition. Jenny was happy and relieved. However, she was still worried because she knew her class was counting on her to win this year's competition.

　　她最终决定向她最亲密的朋友---卡尔求助。杰妮和卡尔从一年级时就互相认识了，卡尔起初是不情愿参加的，因为她也不太会跳舞。杰妮坚持要求，卡尔最终同意了。杰妮非常开心和宽慰。然而，她还是非常担心，因为她的班级指望她获得今年的冠军。

　　All she needed was some time and practice in order to increase her chances of winning. This time, it was going to be more of a challenge considering the fact that Carl was not a good dancer. The competition was in two months, and only time could predict her chances of winning.

　　她所需要的全部就是一些时间和练习为了增加获胜的可能性。这一次，考虑到卡尔不是一个熟练的舞者的事实，这更多的将是一个挑战。比赛就在两个月之后，只有时间能够预测她获胜的可能性。
