Lesson and Explanation

RUSH hour crowds jostle for position on the underground train platform. A
slight girl, looking younger than her seventeen years, was nervous yet
excited as she felt the vibrations of the approaching train.

jostle: push roughly
slight: small and thin

The scene is of the train platform- it is underground and there is a huge
rush at the platform, people are pushing each other to get way. There is a
small thin girl, it is Evelyn. Evelyn is standing at the railway platform waiting
for the train. And just as she feels the vibrations of the approaching train,
she realizes that the train is about to come, she gets nervous and excited.
This is the train that will take Evelyn to London. She is going to London to
learn music as she has got admission in the Royal Academy of Music.
Right now, Evelyn is in Scotland. (Evelyn belongs to Scotland. Scotland is
a country in Europe. Life in Scotland is not as fast as in London. London
has a very fast life. It is urban whereas Scotland has farms and
countryside.) So that is why Evelyn is nervous because she is leaving
Scotland for London. And she is excited also because she is doing
something that she always dreamt of. She is going to the Royal Academy
of Music to learn music.
