Life is not easy, so I'd like to say," When anything happens, believe in yourself." When I was 14, I was 1 nervous to talk in public. My classmates often 2 me. I was sad but could do nothing. Later 3 happened. It affected my life. It was an English speech contest (比赛). My mother asked me to take part in it. What a/an 4 idea! It meant I had to 5 in front of all the teachers and students of my school! "Come on, boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to 6 ." Then mother and I talked about many different topics. At last I chose the topic "Believe in yourself". I tried my best to 7 all the speech and practiced it over 100 times. 8 my mother's great help, I did well in the contest. I could hardly (几乎不) believe my ears when the news came-I won the first place. I heard the cheers from the teachers and students. Those 9 looked down on (瞧不起)me before, but they now all said 10 to me. My mother hugged (拥抱)me and cried excitedly. Since then, everything changed for me. When I do anything, I try to tell myself to be confident and I will find myself. This is true not only for a person but also for a country. |
