我的头发长长了,挡住了眼睛。

My hair had grown long and was getting in my eyes.

星期六,爸爸带我去理发店理发。

xīng qī liù bà ba dài wǒ qù lǐ fà diàn lǐ fà

On Saturday, Dad took me to the barber's for a haircut.

这是我第一次去理发店,心里有一点紧张。

zhè shì wǒ dì yī cì qù lǐ fà diàn xīn li yǒu yì diǎn jǐn zhāng

It was my first time at a barber's, and I felt a little nervous.

理发师叔叔给我围上一块布,笑着说:“别怕,很快就好。”

lǐ fà shī shū shu gěi wǒ wéi shàng yí kuài bù xiào zhe shuō bié pà hěn kuài jiù hǎo

The barber put a cape around me and said with a smile, “Don't be scared. It'll be done soon.”

剪刀“咔嚓咔嚓”地响,头发一撮一撮地落在地上。

jiǎn dāo kā chā kā chā de xiǎng tóu fa yì cuō yì cuō de luò zài dì shang

The scissors went “snip, snip”, and my hair fell to the floor tuft by tuft.

我闭着眼睛,一动也不敢动。

wǒ bì zhe yǎn jing yí dòng yě bù gǎn dòng

I kept my eyes shut and didn't dare to move at all.

不久,叔叔说:“剪好了!你看看镜子吧。”

bù jiǔ shū shu shuō jiǎn hǎo le nǐ kàn kan jìng zi ba

Soon the barber said, “All done! Take a look in the mirror.”

镜子里的我头发短短的,看起来很精神,我开心地笑了。

jìng zi lǐ de wǒ tóu fa duǎn duǎn de kàn qǐ lái hěn jīng shen wǒ kāi xīn de xiào le

The me in the mirror had short, neat hair and looked smart and bright, and I smiled happily.
