Mabel's school offers new after-school clubs this year. She wants to join one, but two clubs interest her.
Sekolah Mabel membuka klub-klub baru sepulang sekolah tahun ini. Ia ingin bergabung dengan satu klub, tetapi ada dua klub yang menarik minatnya.
The choir meets on Tuesdays. Mabel loves to sing. But she feels shy about singing in front of people.
Paduan suara berkumpul pada hari Selasa. Mabel suka bernyanyi. Tetapi ia malu bernyanyi di depan banyak orang.
The debate club meets on Thursdays. Mabel likes to talk about ideas, but arguments make her nervous.
Klub debat berkumpul pada hari Kamis. Mabel suka membicarakan gagasan, tetapi adu pendapat membuatnya gugup.
She talks to her friend Beckett about it at lunch. "I can't choose," Mabel says. "I like both clubs."
Ia membicarakannya dengan temannya, Beckett, saat makan siang. "Aku tidak bisa memilih," kata Mabel. "Aku suka kedua klub itu."
"Why not try both for one week?" Beckett suggests. "Then you can decide."
"Kenapa tidak coba keduanya selama seminggu?" usul Beckett. "Setelah itu kamu bisa memutuskan."
Mabel likes this plan. On Tuesday, she goes to choir practice. Her voice shakes during the first song.

On Thursday, she goes to the debate club instead. The topic is about school lunch menus.

After both meetings, Mabel makes her choice. "I pick debate," she tells Beckett on Friday. "It's scary, but it makes me feel strong."
Setelah kedua pertemuan itu, Mabel menentukan pilihannya. "Aku pilih debat," katanya kepada Beckett pada hari Jumat. "Memang menakutkan, tapi aku jadi merasa kuat."
"Good choice," Beckett says. "You can still sing in the shower." Mabel laughs and agrees.
"Pilihan bagus," kata Beckett. "Kamu kan masih bisa bernyanyi di kamar mandi." Mabel tertawa dan setuju.
