英语作文-初中An Unforgettable Day

An Unforgettable Day
　　Late one afternoon, I was on my way home from school. I walked slowly along the street with my head drooped¹. The scenes on both sides of the street were beautiful, but I had no interest in them at all. I walked and walked, thinking of what had happened that day.

　　Just a few minutes before the second class began that afternoon, I was asked to go to the teacher's office. I heard my teacher talking to my mother with anger.

　　How could you dare to go to see a film this morning without permission? Mother said at the top of her voice, slapping² me in the face heavily. I look at Mother, dumbfounded…

　　I walked more slowly, for I had seen my house ahead, where Mother was always standing³ at the door, smiling at me, at this time every day. But now, she wasn't there. My heard was beating faster. I even didn't dare to open the door for fear that Mother should beat again.

　　Not knowing what to do, I sat on the ground near the door, blaming myself for what I had done. I was lost in deep agony⁴.
Suddenly a soft hand patted⁵ me on the head. I looked up, seeing Mother standing beside me. I couldn't help crying, Mum! tears rolling down my cheeks.
