阅读故事,完成下列任务。
There is a young boy called Bill in my class. He has difficulty in saying some words, in other words, he stutters. Children laugh at him sometimes.
One day, my teacher asks us to put on a school play and he lets Bill take part in the play. We are all surprised and want to know how he deals with his speaking problem. When the play begins, Bill starts to speak. He still stutters. Then, to our surprise, when the music starts, he sings along with it. He has a wonderful voice and doesn't stutter. Bill is different when he sings. The next day at school, everyone is happy for Bill. “It’s easy for people who stutter to sing well. Scientists don’t know why, but it’s true,” says Bill.
