Life is not easy, so I’ d like to say "When anything happens, believe in yourself. "
When I was a young boy, I was so shy to talk to anyone that my classmates 17 laughed at(嘲笑) me. I was sad but could do nothing. Later, 18 happened, and it changed my life. It was an English speech contest (比赛). My 19 asked me to take part in it. What a 20 idea! It meant I had to speak before all the teachers and students of my school.
" 21 , boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to win the contest. " Then Mother and I talked about many different topics. 22 I chose the topic "Believe in yourself", I tried my best to remember all the speech and practiced it 23 100 times. With the help of my mother, I did well in the contest. I could hardly believe myself when the 24 came that I had won the first place; I heard the cheers from the teachers and the students. Those classmates who once looked down on me, now all25 "Congratulations!" to me. My mother hugged (拥抱) me and cried excitedly.
Since then, everything has changed for me. 26 I do anything, I try to tell myself to be sure and I will find myself. This is not only for a person but also for a country.
