Go Slow 慢行

Little Peter is a boy of nine. He began to go to school the year before last and now he's in Grade Three. He lives not far form the school, but he's often late for class. He likes watching TV in the evening and goes to bed late, so he can't get up early in the morning.

This term Mrs Black, Peter's aunt works in Peter's school. She teaches Grade Three English, She is strict with Peter and often tells the boy to obey the school rules and come to school in time. Yesterday morning Peter got up late. When he got to school. It was ten past eight. His aunt was waiting for him at the school gate.

"You're ten minutes late for the first class, Peter," Mrs Black said angrily. "Why are you often late for class?''

"Every time when I get to the street corner, I see a guidepost. It says, 'SCHOOL--GO SLOW'!"

小彼得9岁了。他前年开始上学，现在上三年级。他住的地方离学校不远，但他经常上课迟到。他喜欢晚上看电视，睡得很晚，所以早上起不早。

这学期布莱克夫人，也就是彼得的姑姑，调到彼得的学校工作。她教三年级英语。她对彼得要求严格，经常告诉他要遵守校规、按时到校。昨天彼得又起晚了。当他到达学校时。已经8点10分了。他姑姑正在校门口等他。

“彼得，第一节课你迟到了10分钟，”布莱克夫人生气地说，“为什么你经常迟到?”

“每次我走到大街拐角处，就看到那个路标，上面写道：‘前方有学校，请慢行！’“
