Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.
When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.
The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

good afternoon!
recently, ther is a heated debate in our society. the college students are the beneficiaries of a rare privilege, who receive exceptional education at extraordinary places. but will we be able to face the challenge and support ourselves against all odds? will we be able to better the lives of others? will we be able to accept the responsibility of building the future of our country?
the cynics say the college students are the pampered lost generation, which would cringe at the slightest discomfort. but the cynics are wrong. the college students i see are eagerly learning about how to live independently. we help each other clean the dormitory, go shopping and bargain together, and take part time jobs to supplement our pocket money.
the cynics say we care for nothing other than grades; and we neglect the need for character cultivation. but again, the cynics are wrong. we care deeply for each other, we cherish freedom, we treasure justice, and we seek truth. last week, thousands of my fellow students had their blood type tested in order to make a contribution for the children who suffer from blood cancer.
as college students, we are adolescents at the critical turning point in our lives. we all face a fundamental choice: cynicism or faith, each will profoundly impact our future, or even the future of our country. i believe in all my fellow classmates. though we are still inexperienced and even a little bit childish. i believe that we have the courage and faith to meet any challenge and take on our responsibilities. we are preparing to assume new responsibilities and tasks, and to use the education we have received to make our world a better place. i believe in our future.
now i think at this point it's important for me to say that i actually love extroverts. i always like to say some of my best friends are extroverts, including my beloved husband. and we all fall at different points, of course, along the introvert/extrovert spectrum. even carl jung, the psychologist who first popularized these terms, said that there's no such thing as a pure introvert or a pure extrovert. he said that such a man would be in a lunatic asylum, if he existed at all. and some people fall smack in the middle of the introvert/extrovert spectrum, and we call these people ambiverts. and i often think that they have the best of all worlds. but many of us do recognize ourselves as one type or the other.
and what i'm saying is that culturally we need a much better balance. we need more of a yin and yang between these two types. this is especially important when it comes to creativity and to productivity, because when psychologists look at the lives of the most creative people, what they find are people who are very good at exchanging ideas and advancing ideas, but who also have a serious streak of introversion in them.
and this is because solitude is a crucial ingredient often to creativity. so darwin, he took long walks alone in the woods and emphatically turned down dinner party invitations. theodor geisel, better known as dr. seuss, he dreamed up many of his amazing creations in a lonely bell tower office that he had in the back of his house in la jolla, california. and he was actually afraid to meet the young children who read his books for fear that they were expecting him this kind of jolly santa claus-like figure and would be disappointed with his more reserved persona. steve wozniak invented the first apple computer sitting alone in his cubical in hewlett-packard where he was working at the time. and he says that he never would have become such an expert in the first place had he not been too introverted to leave the house when he was growing up.
now of course, this does not mean that we should all stop collaborating -- and case in point, is steve wozniak famously coming together with steve jobs to start apple computer -- but it does mean that solitude matters and that for some people it is the air that they breathe. and in fact, we have known for centuries about the transcendent power of solitude. it's only recently that we've strangely begun to forget it. if you look at most of the world's major religions, you will find seekers -- moses, jesus, buddha, muhammad -- seekers who are going off by themselves alone to the wilderness where they then have profound epiphanies and revelations that they then bring back to the rest of the community. so no wilderness, no revelations.
this is no surprise though if you look at the insights of contemporary psychology. it turns out that we can't even be in a group of people without instinctively mirroring, mimicking their opinions. even about seemingly personal and visceral things like who you're attracted to, you will start aping the beliefs of the people around you without even realizing that that's what you're doing.
and groups famously follow the opinions of the most dominant or charismatic person in the room, even though there's zero correlation between being the best talker and having the best ideas -- i mean zero. so ... (laughter) you might be following the person with the best ideas, but you might not. and do you really want to leave it up to chance? much better for everybody to go off by themselves, generate their own ideas freed from the distortions of group dynamics, and then come together as a team to talk them through in a well-managed environment and take it from there.
now if all this is true, then why are we getting it so wrong? why are we setting up our schools this way and our workplaces? and why are we making these introverts feel so guilty about wanting to just go off by themselves some of the time? one answer lies deep in our cultural history. western societies, and in particular the u.s., have always favored the man of action over the man of contemplation and “man“ of contemplation. but in america's early days, we lived in what historians call a culture of character, where we still, at that point, valued people for their inner selves and their moral rectitude. and if you look at the self-help books from this era, they all had titles with things like “character, the grandest thing in the world.“ and they featured role models like abraham lincoln who was praised for being modest and unassuming. ralph waldo emerson called him “a man who does not offend by superiority.“
but then we hit the 20th century and we entered a new culture that historians call the culture of personality. what happened is we had evolved an agricultural economy to a world of big business. and so suddenly people are moving from small towns to the cities. and instead of working alongside people they've known all their lives, now they are having to prove themselves in a crowd of strangers. so, quite understandably, qualities like magnetism and charisma suddenly come to seem really important. and sure enough, the self-help books change to meet these new needs and they start to have names like “how to win friends and influence people.“ and they feature as their role models really great salesmen. so that's the world we're living in today. that's our cultural inheritance.
good afternoon ，ladies and gentlemen!
i’m very honored to stand here and give you a short speech! to begin with ,i want to ask a question everybody dream a good dream last night? actually ,today i want to talk about dream with you. of course, what i want to talk is not a dream you have last night,but a dream—— about life.
everyone has dreams about life, different dreams at different life stage,and we need dreams to support us. dreams are like the stars we never reach in the sky,but like most mariners(水手),we can chart our course by them. with the dream,we have a direction,with a direction, we were no longer the dream, there is hope,with hope, we have the strength to fight.
i have a dream: to be a doctor.，because doctor may relieve the pain of patients. may let the human change the health. at the same time, i believed that, those who help others may be able to obtain joyfully. therefore, i hoped in the near future ,i might be a doctor.
but i know，life is tough,and there are always ups and downs, maybe we fail in the way to our aims,and we may feel depressed ,whenever at this time, the dream in our heart can always comfort us, encourage us ,and support us to move ahead .
young!fortunately, i am young now. just due to it, i know that nothing is impossible.i firmly believe that nothing can stand in my way. if i can't realize my dream,it result from that i haven't work harder enough and i won't find other excuses. if no people believe you, you can make it to prove that you are right. if you think the god haven't blessed you and there is no truth here, you can become the god and create the truth.
"my breath swallows the sky and make the yellow river overflow, my sword is famous in kyushu and it can collapse the five sacred mountains." at some time in the past i also had am bitious words and i had some achievements. each achievement results from my hard work. i always believe that "if you want to have more achievements than others, you must work harder." in some extent, the dream is the hope. if you can insist on doing something, the victory will come.
hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow. so my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams. whatever it is, pick it up and make it alive from today. let's--- move ----out!
thank you for your listening!
Dream, everybody has. However, I think, the dream as the growth of the age, will change at any time!
The dream of the age of three
When I was 3 years old, although also just a girl, but, we also have a 3 years old dream! My dream is to every day can eat to the color seductive jelly beans! The kindergarten every day, dad and creak on his bicycle to pick me up, I will think, dad today will certainly bring color jelly beans to pick me up. But, want to return to, dad didn't often bring me eat jelly beans. At that time, I will run to dad's arms, with a peevish tone to dad said: "dad, are you to buy me some color jelly beans?" Father seems a little angry: "oh, don't buy, not buy, jelly beans to eat many will have decayed tooth!" I still don't give up: "I'm not eat every day, you can buy!" Sometimes, after my request for a long time, father finally agreed to me, I am happy to eat a dream at the age of 3, fruity! The food is delicious.
At the age of 8 dream
At the age of eight, I had been sitting in the third grade. Said dream, also won't go to jelly beans. At that time, I am addicted to reading.
Mother and I went to a backgammon supermarket, I entered the house, left flip, flip right, when turn to a book - the story character, I carefully looked up, I could see them forget all about eating and sleeping, even my mother told me to go home, I did not hear. Aunt until the store is closed, when I go home, I was pleased. After that, I often go to read a book, of course, I have mastered a lot of writing skills. The teacher also to me a thumbs-up! The book gives me knowledge and fun.
Dream at the age of 11
At the age of 11, I was in the sixth grade, my dream is as bigger, my dream is to enter key middle school at 1 or 4. Had the goal, to work harder. I write my homework every day, the remedial class around in my side every day, although very hard, very tired, but I still insist on, don't be difficult tripping, strive to succeed.
Because the dream with my growth, let me track on the road to success.
My good friend
I have a good friend , his name is Li Hua. He is 12 years old. He is a student in Hui Dong Middle School. He is tall and strong. He works hard at school.
Li Hua is good at studying , so he often helps me with my studies. He loves music and reading books. We always play football after school ..
Li Hua is a good student and a kind person. We all like him. Do you like him ?
My family
There are four people in my family. They are my parents ,my sister and me . My father is a worker . He works in a factory . My mother is a teacher. She teaches English at a middle school . They like eating healthy food , such as meat and vegetables . They all like playing table tennis. My sister and I are students in the same school . I love my family very much.
Chinese teacher treats us just like friends, we also very trust to her. On one occasion, my language result in the decline, the in the mind very anxious didn't know what to do, then I remembered the Chinese teacher told us what is not happy at ordinary times, the confused things can tell her, I summon up courage to find a Chinese teacher, she is to have a rest. Chinese teacher saw me come in and asked me what's the matter, I said I wanted to find her talk. She listened to the very happy, immediately brought me to the conference room. I sat down in the heart of all of the unhappy said out, Chinese teacher help me analysis, I also know how to improve their performance, shu teacher and told my hands to answer questions in class, have confidence in yourself, no matter right or wrong answer, all want to brave answer. Answer to very happy, very confident. Also don't answer wrong, don't be discouraged, for the next answer correct.
Listen to the teacher's these words, I really changed, my grades have improved, also love in class to answer the question, I'm really happy for that.
And let me have such a big change is the teacher's words, from the bottom of my heart to thank her. Is she told me to have confidence in yourself; Is she let me learn how to face setbacks; Is she let me make more friends. In this two years, I learned in ordinary school a few years also learn something, maybe is this school is different from other schools!
Will be leaving soon, I think I will never forget this make me change my teacher, she will always be in my heart.
Failure is so common in our life. No one can avoid it. When we fail in doing something, we often feel so depressed that we have no interest in other things. Sometimes failure can also make us lose heart. Therefore, no one wants to be a failure.
Success is what we all hope for, because it can bring us a sense of pride and a good reputation. The moment we succeed, we always feel so proud, as if having everything in our hands. If one enjoys his continuous success in his career, he will be famous and worshiped by others.
However, failure is the mother of success. One failure doesn’t mean you can never be successful. It depends on what we do to deal with failure. Those who are always afraid of failure and can’t go through it will never win. But as long as we can get some lessons and experience from our failure, we’ll be sure to succeed.
Knowing the Consequences of Choice
Over the past Spring Festival, I got involved in a family dispute. Right before I got home, four satellite channels of CCTV were added to the 14 channels we had already had. In prime time at night, they all had interesting shows. Therefore, the five of us-my parents, my sisters and I-had to argue over what to watch. Finally, we agreed that we should watch the "most interesting" programme... If we
could agree what that was.
However, all of us there remember that for a long time after we had TV, there were only one or two channels available. The increase in options reveals an important change in our life: the abundance of choice.
Fifteen years ago we all dressed in one style and in one colour. Today, we select from a wide variety of designs and shades.
Fifteen years ago, we read few newspapers. Today, we read English newspapers like the China Daily and the 21st Century, as well as various Chinese newspapers.
Fifteen years ago, English majors took only courses in language and literature. Today, we also study Western culture, journalism, business communications, international relations, and computer science.
The emergence of choices marks the beginning of a new era in China's history; an era of diversity, of material and cultural richness, and an era of the rebirth of the Chinese nation. We enjoy the abundance of choice. But this has not come easily.
About 150 years ago, China was forced to open up its door by Western canons and gunboats. It has been through the struggle and sacrifice of generations that we finally have gained the opportunity to choose for ourselves. The policy of reform and openness is the choice that has made all the difference.
Like others of my age, I'm too young to have experienced the time when the Chinese people had no right to choose. However, as the next century draws near, it is time to ask: What does choice really mean to us young people?
Is choice a game that relies on chance or luck? Is choice an empty promise that never materializes? Or is choice a puzzle so difficult that we have to avoid it?
First, I would like to say: To choose means to claim opportunities.
I am a third-year English major. An important choice for me, of course, is what to do upon graduation. I can go to graduate school, at home or abroad. I can go to work as a teacher, a translator, a journalist, an editor and a diplomat. Actually, the system of mutual selection has allowed me to approach almost every career opportunity in China.
Indeed, this is not going to be an easy choice. I would love to work in such big cities as Beijing or Shanghai or Shenzhen. I would also love to return to my hometown, which is intimate, though slightly lagging in development. I would love to stay in the coastal area where life is exciting and fast-paced. I would also love to put down roots in central and western China, which is underdeveloped, but holds great potential.
All of these sound good. But they are only possibilities. To those of us who are bewildered at the abundance of opportunities, I would like to say: To choose means to accept challenge. To us young people, challenge often emerges in the form of competition. In the next century, competition will not only come from other college graduates, but also from people of all ages and of all origins.
With increasing international exchanges, we have to face growing competition from the whole outside world. This is calling for a higher level of our personal development.
Fifteen years ago, the knowledge of a foreign language or of computer operation was considered merely an advantage. But today, with wider educational opportunities, this same knowledge has become essential to everyone.
Given this situation, even our smallest choices will require great wisdom and personal determination.
As we gain more initiative in choice making, the consequence of each choice also becomes more important.
As we gain more initiative in choice making, the consequence of each choice also becomes more important.
Nuclear power, for instance, may improve our quality of life. But it can also be used to damage the lives and possessions of millions.
Economic development has enriched our lives but brought with it serious harm to our air, water and health.
To those of us who are blind to the consequences of their choices, I would like to say, To choose means to take responsibility. When we are making choices for ourselves, we cannot casually say: "It's just my own business. " As policy makers of the next century, we cannot fail to see our responsibility to those who share the earth with us.
The traditional Chinese culture teaches us to study hard and work hard so as to honor our family. To me, however, this family is not just the five of us who quarreled over television programmes. Rather, it is the whole of the human family. As I am making my choices, I will not forget the smile of my teacher when I correctly spelled out the word "China" for the first time, I will not forget the happy faces of the boys and girls we helped to send back to school in the mountains of Jiangxi Province. I will not forget the tearful eyes of women and children in Bosnia, Chechnya and Somali, where millions are suffering from war, famine or poverty. All these people, known and unknown, make up our big human family. At different points, they came into my life and broaden my perspective. Now as I am to make choices for myself, it is time to make efforts to improve their lives, because a world will benefit us all only if every one in it can lead a peaceful and prosperous life.
選擇的重要性
去年春節期間，我陷入過一場家庭紛爭。在我回家之前，我們家的電視除了已有的14個頻道外又增加了四個衛星頻道。晚上的黃金時間，每個頻道的節目都很精彩.結果，我們一家五口(父母，兩個姐姐和我)為了選臺而爭執起來。最後，我們決定應當看“最有意思”的節目——如果我們在什麼是“最有意思”上可以認同的話。
不過我們全都清楚地記得，買了電視後的好長一段時間裡，只有一兩個頻道可供選擇。電視訊道的增多反映出我們生活中的一個重大變化:選擇餘地的擴大。
20xx年前，我們身著同樣的款式，單一的色調。而如今，紛繁的花色和眾多的式樣讓我們挑得眼花繚亂。
20xx年前，我們幾乎無報可讀。而如今，除了大大小小的中文報紙，我們還讀上了《中國日報》、《21世紀報》這樣的英文報紙。
20xx年前，英語專業的學生只能選語言與文學課程。而如今，我們還學習西方文化，新聞，商務，國際關係，甚至還有計算機課程。
選擇的湧現標誌著中國進入了一個嶄新的時代，一個充滿多樣化的時代，一個物質與精神都愈加豐富的時代，一箇中華民族獲得新生的時代。
我們為選擇之多而歡呼雀躍，同時也深深地感到這一切來之不易。
一個半世紀之前，在西方大炮、戰艦的威通下，中國被迫打開了國門。經過祖祖輩輩的抗爭與犧牲，我們才最終贏得了當家作主的機會。改革開放這個正確的抉擇使一切發生了翻天覆地的變化。
我和其他同齡人一樣，太年輕了、沒有經歷過中國人喪失選擇權的歲月。但是，隨著下個世紀的腳步越走越近，我們是該們心自間了:選擇，對於我們青年一代，到底意味著什麼?
選擇，是場靠僥倖來獲勝的遊戲嗎?是句不用兌現的空話嗎?抑或是種讓人知難而退的困境?
首先，我認為，選擇意味著抓住機遇。
我是英語專業三年級學生，我所面臨的一個重大選擇當然是畢業後的去向。我可以攻讀碩士學位，或在國內，或在國外。我可以走上工作崗位，做名教師，翻譯，記者，編輯或外交家.實際上，雙向選擇的體制在我面前鋪開了通向各行各業的大道。
說真的，這個選擇並不好做。我願意在像北京、上海、深圳這樣的大都市裡工作，我也盼著能回到雖不那麼發達卻使我倍感親切的故鄉。我希望可以留在生活節奏快，令人興奮的沿海地帶，我也願意紮根於廣炭的中西部地區，那裡雖然條件艱苦，卻有極大的發展潛力。
所有這一切聽上去令人振奮，但它們畢竟只是可能性。有些人面對五花八門的選擇挑得眼花繚亂，我要告訴他們:選擇就意味著接受挑戰。
對於我們青年一代，挑戰常以竟爭的形式出現。到下個世紀，競爭者將不僅只是其他大學畢業生，更有各行各業不同年齡層的人們。
隨著國際交流的不斷增多，我們得面對來自整個外部世界日益激烈的競爭，這就對我們個/、的發展提出了更高的要求。
20xx年前，懂門外語或會用計算機是個優越條件。但今天，隨著受教育面的拓寬，以上的知識也成了每個人必備的條件。
在這種形勢下，即便最細小的選擇也要求我們具有極大的智慧和自主精神。
當我們面對選擇不斷增強自己的主動性時，每一次選擇的結果也同樣變得愈加重要。
比方說，核能可以提高人民的生活水平，可它同樣也能毀滅千百萬人的生命財產。
經濟的發展使我們富裕起來，卻也給我們的空氣、水、健康帶來了嚴重危害。有些人對選擇的後果毫不在乎，我要對他們說:選擇還意味著承擔責任。我們替自己做選擇時，不能隨口一句“這不關別人的事”。作為下個世紀的決策者，我們必須承擔對和我們共同擁有這個地球的人們所負的責任。 傳統的中華文化教育我們，要勃奮學習，努力工作，以榮耀家門。然而我認為，這個家門並不只指諸如我的那個爭看電視的五口小家。更確切地說，它指的是整個人類這個大家庭。當我為自己的未來做出選擇時，我不會忘記自己第一次正確讀出“China"這個單詞時老師臉上的笑容。我也不會忘記在我們的幫助下重返校園的江西山區的孩子們興奮的臉龐。我更不會忘記飽受戰火、饑荒、貧困蹂蹦的波斯尼亞、車臣、索馬利亞，不會忘記那裡成千上萬的婦女兒童淚水模糊的雙眼。
所有這些我認識或不認識的人們組成了人類這個大家庭。他們從不同的時空中走進了我的生活，開拓了我的視野。現在，我將為自己做出抉擇，該是為使他們的生活變得美好而奮鬥的時候了。因為只有當每個人都過上和平、富足的生活，世界才能成為大家的樂園.
Sports are more than competitions. To me, they mean growth under the care of others. I learned this the hard way.
I used to be very shy and often felt lonely. Although I did well in all the academic subjects, I was afraid of physical education. My classmates often laughed at me.
“Look at that girl,” they said. “Her feet don’t leave the ground when she runs!”
Their words embarrassed me. Moreover, whenever the teacher organized some competitive games, no one in the class liked to have me as their partner or team member. As a result, I often ended up looking at others enjoy their games.
Things would go on like that if not for a sports meet in my high school. By mistake, my name was put on the list of those who would compete in the women’s 1500 meters race. By the time people found the mistake, it was too late to change.
My desk-mate was a natural athlete. She said to me, “I couldn’t run that race in your place, because I’ve signed up for three items already.” Other athletic girls of the class said the same.
I was utterly dumbfounded. 1500 meters! Running against the best runners from other classes! And in front of students of the entire school! It would be the worst nightmare I’d ever have!
“You still have time to catch up because there is still one month before the sports meet,” they all said this to me, including my teacher.
My desk-mate patted me on the shoulder, “Cool! You will run for our class! And we will do training together.” Yes, this is not just for myself, but for my class too, I said to myself. But still, 1500 meters to me was like Mount Everest to a beginning climber. I had no idea even how to start my preparation.
Fortunately, my desk-mate gave me a hand. Every afternoon after class, several of us ran together. When the fear of being laughed at struck me, I saw others running right beside me. They gave me strengths. While we were running, some others would stand by the tracks cheering for us.
One month certainly couldn’t make me a good runner. But when I was standing behind the start line, I no longer felt lonely or afraid. I saw my classmates standing by the tracks waving at me as if about to run beside me.
With the shot of the starting gun, I dashed out and ran as fast as I could, as if it were a 200-meter race. Soon I was out of breath and slowed down. Other runners passed me one by one, and gradually I had no idea how many of them were still behind me. My legs were getting heavier and heavier, and I might fall down at any moment. However, I suddenly heard my classmates chanting my name. My desk-mate even ran along the tracks beside me and cheered for me at the same time, just like the month-long training we did together.
As expected, I was almost the last to cross the finish line. Immediately, my classmates held my arms and urged me to walk on my feet and not to sit down. I was surrounded, with all kinds of drinks handed to me. I felt a kind of warmth I had never felt before. Even though I was almost the last to finish the race, I was full of confidence that I would improve in the future.
That sports meet was an unforgettable experience. The memory of my classmates cheering for me, holding my arms and handing me drinks stays fresh on my mind. Sports are no longer about winning or losing. They give me a lot of confidence, both confidence in my fellow students and confidence in my own potential. I am no longer lonely, no longer afraid. Sports have brought me close to my classmates and helped us grow together.
Now, I participate in the sports meet every year. Even if I am not competing, I would help my classmates with their practice, just like the way my desk-mate and others ran with me.
體育比賽越來越多。對我來說，他們的意思是在別人的照顧下成長。我學會了這個艱難的方式。
我曾經是很害羞，經常感到孤獨。雖然我做得很好，在所有的學科，我是害怕體育教育。我的同學經常嘲笑我。
“看那個女孩，”他們說。“當她執行的時候她的腳不離開地面!“
他們的話使我感到尷尬。而且，每當老師組織了一些有競爭性的比賽，在班上沒有人喜歡把我當他們的夥伴或團隊成員。因此，我經常結束看別人享受他們的遊戲。
如果不是我的高中的一個運動會，事情會繼續下去。錯誤地，我的名字被列在那些將參加女子1500米比賽的人名單上。人們發現這個錯誤，太晚了。
我的同桌是個天生的運動員。她對我說：“我不能在你的地方跑，因為我已經報名參加了三個專案。”。
我完全被驚呆了。1500米!與其他班上最好的賽跑選手賽跑!而在整個學校的學生面前!這將是我曾經有過的最糟糕的噩夢!
“你還有時間趕上，因為還有一個月前的運動會，”他們都對我說，包括我的老師。
我的同桌輕輕地拍了拍我的肩膀，“酷!你將為我們班競選!我們會一起做的，“是的，這不僅僅是為了我自己，也為了我的課，我對自己說。但是，1500米對我來說就像是珠峰的一個開始攀登者。我甚至不知道如何開始我的準備。
幸運的是，我的同桌給了我一隻手。每天下午放學後，我們幾個人一起跑。當我害怕被嘲笑時，我看到別人在我身邊奔跑。他們給了我力量。當我們在奔跑時，有些人會站在軌道上為我們喝彩。
一個月肯定不能讓我成為一個好賽跑者。但是當我站在起跑線後，我不再感到孤獨或害怕。我看到我的同學們站在鐵軌旁，好像在向我跑來跑去。
我用槍打了一槍，衝出去，跑得很快，好像是200米賽跑。很快我就喘不上氣，放慢了速度。其他的賽跑者一個一個地從我身邊經過，漸漸地，我不知道他們中有多少人在我身後。我的腿越來越重了，我隨時都可能跌倒。然而，我突然聽到我的同學們唱著我的名字。我的同桌甚至在我的身邊跑過，在同一時間為我喝彩，就像我們在一起的那一個月的訓練。
正如所料，我幾乎是最後一個越過終點線。立刻，我的同學們抱著我的胳膊，催促我走在我的腳邊，而不是坐下來。我被包圍了，有各種各樣的飲料遞給我。我感覺到了一種從未有過的溫暖。即使我幾乎是最後一個完成比賽，我充滿了信心，我會提高在未來。
那次運動會是一次難忘的經歷。我的同學們為我歡呼，抱著我的胳膊，遞給我一杯酒，我的心都在新鮮。體育不再是關於贏得或失去。他們給了我很大的信心，都對我的同學信心和我自己的信心。我不再孤單，不再害怕。體育把我帶到我的同學們，幫助我們一起成長。
現在，我每年參加運動會。即使我不在競爭，我會幫助我的同學與他們的做法，就像我的同桌和其他人一起跑。
