Here is an expression about bees that is not used much any more, but we like it anyway. We think it was first used in the nineteen twenties. If something was the best of its kind, you might say it was "the bee's knees". Now, we admit that we do not know how this expression developed. In fact, we do not even know if bees have knees!. Hornets are bee-like insects that sometimes attack people. If you are really angry, you might say you are"mad as a hornet".And if you "stir up a hornet's nest", you create trouble or problems. Butterflies are beautiful insects, but you would not want to "have butterflies in the stomach". That means to be nervous about having to do something, like speaking in front of a crowd. And do you know any expressions about ants? Question: When you say to others "I am mad as a hornet", what do you really mean? - I must stop working. - I am the best of all. - I create some problems. - I feel really angry.

But at the end of the school day, I was happier than I thought: the morning with them today was more enjoyable than I expected. Today is the most unforgettable first day I have had!

There were lots of things to do on the first day. Beth offered to help Miss Chan put up all the notices.

We all praised him. When the bell rang to end the first school day, none of us wanted to leave. When I went back home, I had a little headache.
