1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

Studying at a girl’s school, we seldom see boys. But in September, we got a chance to dance and talk with boys. In the morning, all of the girls discussed this activity.

But when the boys came, we stopped immediately. After a welcome speech, the first activity took place: find a boy partner and learn five things about each other. 1. At first, the situation was so embarrassing that nobody moved. Gradually, some people started talking. “Would you like to be my partner?” the boy next to me said. “Sure,” I replied. We stood together and asked each other questions like “what’s your name?” After we took the first step, the rest was easier. 2. 让我惊讶的是，我们有许多共同点。We both like British singer Ed Sheeran. Also, English is our favorite subject. The most exciting part is dancing. The teacher taught boys and girls separately (分别). We all smiled and studied hard. 3. The lesson didn’t last long, as we had to practice with our partners. I felt my heart beating so fast. 4. 老实说，这是我第一次握一个男孩的手。I made many mistakes even with the simplest steps, but my partner never blamed (责怪) me. My palms (手心) got sweaty (出汗的). My partner said, “Don’t be nervous. I will lead you.” His palms were big and warm. I began to calm down and enjoy dancing. 5. At the dance, we built good relationships with the boys and our teachers encouraged us to do so. I really like this type of activity.
