Ten years ago, when I began my senior high school study, I found them extremely difficult to learn English well because there were so much new words and grammar rules to recite. Hard though I might try, but I still did poorly in the English exams. Frank speaking, it was hardest time in my life.One day, I was considered giving up when suddenly my mother found my problem. She told me that if I didn’t complete that I wanted to do, it could directly influence my future. Under the help of my mother, I made rapid progresses in English little by little. At the end of the term I get the highest mark in English.

It's unbelievable when I heard my name calling. I was chosen to play the leading role in the play, and it was my dream. I used to being too shy to speak in a public. But my parents and teachers always encourage me to do so. Now I have changed great. In class, I am often the first one to stand up and answer questions even if I may make much mistakes. No pains, no gains. Now I am always brave enough to overcome the difficulty in her heart, and have became a lively girl. My experience shows that we should not be afraid losing face, and only in this way can we make progresses.
