An unforgettable experience
During the past year at high school, I have had many unforgettable experiences. One of them was
when our class prepared for a group singing competition. In order to win the competition, we went all
out for it. During the week before the competition, we practiced singing in our free time. Although it
was a hard job, every participant took it seriously and did their best. Thanks to our efforts, we won the
first prize. Hearing the exciting news, we were all wild with joy. The moment we got the prize, an old
saying hit my mind - No pains, no gains. It was hard work, but during the course of preparation, we
developed friendship, confidence as well as understanding.
认识To get a thorough understanding of oneself is to gain a correct view of
oneself and be a sober realist -- aware of both one’s strength and
shortage. You may look forward hopefully to the future but be sure not
to expect too much, for ideals can never be fully realized. You may be
courageous to meet challenges but it should be clear to you where to
direct your efforts. That’s to way so long as you have a perfect
knowledge of yourself there won’t be difficulties you can’t overcome,
nor obstacles you can’t surmount.
