Show Me, Don't Tell Me!

This is an exert from Amira's writing exercise in class. The task is to tell a statement by recording some details and let your partner guess how you may feel by using clues:

"Mmmmm - my mom?" asked Jenny in a shivering voice. She could hear her heart thudding against her chest. Her mouth was opening and closing but no sound came out. Jenny's teeth started chattering and her body was shaking. She knew she wouldn't get out of it this time...

Amira was trying to describe the emotion of being SCARED.
