中学的规矩非常严格，平时老师们不能穿运动休闲服装，只能穿正装。但是我们小孩就可以穿休闲服了而且很幸运，我们每天都能穿。今天呢，和平常恰恰相反，因为今天所有学生要穿正装，而老师今天可以穿休闲装了。虽然有些人不喜欢穿正装，但这是一个非常有趣的消息。所以今天我们都穿着衬衫、西服、领带和裙子来到了学校。我也第一次看到本森小姐穿着运动衫。这一天真好玩，我觉得自己就是大人，能控制一切。

　　我走在学校的走廊里，发现所有人都看起来很奇怪。“早上好查尔斯！”本森小姐说，她穿着一件带帽衫。“早上好，女士。”查尔斯取下他的黑色高顶帽子，像绅士似的鞠了一躬。瑞娜女士则穿着一件宽大的格子衬衫和一条浅蓝色的牛仔裤。哇，她看起来就像个牛仔。所有老师今天都看起来特别年轻。本穿着一件白衬衫，外加上黑色西服和领带。当本森小姐见到他时，她也假装本是一个大男子汉了，说：“你好先生。”“你好小姐。”本一本正经地回答道。

　　女生们就看起来更可笑了。她们一定早就开始为这一天而准备、发愁了。看看苏菲亚、阿雷克西斯和麦蒂，她们穿着一模一样的黑白斑马式的裙子和白色的长筒袜。就连我们班的假小子奥迪也穿上了棕色带绿色的裙子。盖比还是看起来像个小孩子，但她也试着装成一个大人。她犯错误时，她就会提起裙子，边鞠躬边用英国口音说：“一千个对不起，我深表歉意，女士。”我们都笑了。

　　所有人都很喜欢这个穿正装的日子，我也觉得它很好。因为它能让老师们心理上更年轻，更有激情地工作，也可以让老师好好地休息休息。另一方面来说呢，孩子们会觉得自己是大人了，而且会感觉到我们肩上重大的责任，所以我们才能专心学习。我们终于感受到了做大人的辛苦。

　　正装日过完了，虽然我已经累得气喘嘘嘘了，但是我很喜欢这一天。多好玩的一天啊！

　　Students dress up, teachers dress down

　　The rules of middle school are very strict. The teachers cannot wear casual clothes, and they have to dress up every day. But we kids love casual clothes and luckily we get to wear them every day。

　　It is the opposite way today, because all of us the students have to dress up and the teachers can dress down today! Some of us don’t like to dress up but this is interesting so we all come with shirts, suits, ties and dresses today. And I see Ms. Benson wearing casual clothes for the first time. It is very fun on this day and I feel like I am an adult that I can control everything in the world!

　　I walk in the hallway of the school and find everyone looking weird. “Good morning, Charles,” Ms. Benson says. She is wearing a sweatshirt. “Good morning, ma’am。” Charles takes off his black high hat and bows as if he is an adult. Ms. Rayner is wearing a shirt and the light blue jeans, wow, she looks just like the cowboys! The teachers look younger than any time today. Ben wears a white shirt plus a black suit with a black tie. When Ms. Benson sees him, she also pretends that Ben is a real big man. “Hello, gentleman。” “Hello, lady,” Ben answers, looks primly and properly。

　　The girls are even funnier. They have been preparing for this day for a while. Look at Sophia, Alexis and Maddie. They are wearing the same black and white dress and the white long stockings. Even the Tomboy Audrey wears a brown and green dress today. Gabbi still seems like a little girl. But she tries to be like an adult. When she does something wrong, she raises her skirt, bows and uses the British accent says, “A thousand apologies to you ma’am。” We all laughed。

　　Everyone likes this dress up day and I think it’s very good as well. Because it makes the teachers feeling younger and will have more energy working. The teachers can take a rest from the busy working year. On the other hand, the children will feel like we’re adults and will feel the grave responsibility on our shoulders so we will concentrate on our school works and homework. We can finally feel how tired being an adult is。

　　The dress up day is over. I like it very much, but I’m also tired today of being an adult. Oh, what a fun day!
