“I'll bet Anjali knows. Right, Anjali? Why don't you show us since you're the star student,” Deepak taunted(奚落).
Anjali was confused. She wasn't trying to show off. She was just playing tabla(印度塔布拉鼓), like everyone else. And why was Deepak being so mean lately? Is it because tabla is a boy's thing? She didn't care that people thought it was a boy's instrument. Anjali knew there was no such thing. She danced her fingers across the tabla to perform the composition in confusion. “Ugh!” Anjali heard someone groan, and she stopped playing.
“I guess I don't know it that well after all,” Anjali said awkwardly to the teacher, Mr. Zakir. Her stomach was doing flip - flops. That wasn't true. Not even a little. Mr. Zakir's eyes narrowed. He looked like he was about to say something, but changed his mind. “The recital (演奏会) is next week, everyone. Keep practicing. I will be announcing who will get to perform onstage with me at my next concert!” Anjali had dreamed of a moment like that. She wanted to win the opportunity, but she needed to sort things straight with Deepak first.
As the class was dismissed, Anjali hurried over to Deepak. When she finally made eye contact with him, he purposely looked away and walked off. The next day at school, Anjali overheard Deepak whispering to Mary. “People are only interested because she's the only girl in tabla class and they want her to feel special. She's not that good—” Anjali was furious(暴怒). She excused herself and went to the bathroom. She took some deep breaths but couldn't relax. Her heart was pounding:
“It's not my fault that people make a big deal about a girl playing tabla. I make mistakes too, but I work really hard. Maybe he should too. He should be less mean and practice more.”
“If I play in this concert, no one will talk to me again. He will turn everyone against me.”
“I don't want to see a tabla or hear a tabla or play a tabla EVER AGAIN!!” Anjali yelled at the mirror. It was quiet for a moment. She believed it was one of her darkest days ever.

答案： One possible version
Paragraph 1:
Stepping out of the bathroom, Anjali saw some inspiring posters on the wall. They showed famous tabla players, both male and female, playing with passion and skill. She paused, taking in the images. It wasn't about being a boy or a girl, it was about the music and the love for it. She realized that she couldn't let Deepak's words or her own fears stop her from pursuing her dream.(心理描写) She decided to focus on her practice and prove her worth. And as expected, Anjali's performance was exceptional. Her hard work paid off.
Paragraph 2:
After the recital, Deepak walked up to Anjali. He apologized sincerely for his earlier mockery, “Anjali, I'm sorry,” he said, his voice low. “I underestimated you. Your performance was... incredible.”(语言描写) And he admitted that her performance had been nothing short of breathtaking. Anjali accepted his apology gracefully, understanding that everyone makes mistakes. They shook hands, a silent truce between them.(动作描写) From that day on, Deepak became one of Anjali's biggest supporters, often encouraging her and even joining her for practice sessions. Their friendship grew stronger, and together they chased their musical dreams.
