I missed my partner's box altogether and __11__.There I was standing on the stage floor when my classmates were on top of their boxes. I could hear giggles (咯咯笑) coming from the audience, and I felt the __12__ rush to my face. I remembered my dance teacher had told us, “If you make a mistake, keep smiling so the audience will not __13__”. I did my best to follow her __14__ as I continued with the routine.
