欢迎你，卡洛斯。 作者：玛丽贝思·博尔茨 绘者：安吉拉·卡姆斯特拉·雅各布森

One late summer day, Carlos sat at the kitchen table. He wanted to begin his poster. He had found paper, glue, and colored markers. He had a box of family photos. But what should I put on it? He thought.

夏末的一天，卡洛斯坐在餐桌旁。 他想要开始制作自己的海报。 他已经找好了纸、胶水和彩色马克笔。 他还有一盒子家庭照片。 可是我该在上面放些什么呢？ 他心想。

Soon, Carlos would start school in a new town in a new country. He had just met his new school principal. You can bring this poster on the first day of school, Carlos. His principal had said, This will help the kids get to know you.

很快，卡洛斯就要在一个新国家的新城镇上学了。 他刚见过自己新学校的校长。 卡洛斯，你开学第一天可以把这张海报带来。 他的校长当时说， 这能帮其他小朋友快速了解你。

Carlos picked photos of his family. He added one of their old home in Monterrey, Mexico. He wrote about the books, sports, and foods he liked.

卡洛斯挑了几张家人的照片。 他还加了一张他们在墨西哥蒙特雷旧家的照片。 他写下了自己喜欢的书、运动和食物。

He carried his poster across the hall of his apartment building. He knocked on the door and a smiling girl opened it. Hola, Carlos, said Maria.

他拿着海报穿过公寓楼的走廊。 他敲了敲门，一个笑眯眯的女孩开了门。 “你好呀，卡洛斯。”玛丽亚说。

Hola, Maria, said Carlos. Do you want to see my poster? It's for the first day of school. Oh, yes, said Maria.

“你好呀，玛丽亚。”卡洛斯说。 你想看看我的海报吗？ 这是为开学第一天准备的。 “哦，当然想啦。”玛丽亚说。
