Life is not easy, so I’d like to say “When anything happens, believe in yourself”
When I was a young boy, I was 36 shy to like talking to anyone. My classmates often 37 me. I was sad but could do nothing. Later, 38 happened, and it changed my life. It was an English contest. My mother encouraged me to 39 it.. What a terrible idea I thought! It meant I had to speak 40 all the teachers and students of my school!
“Come on, boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to 41 ”Then mother and I talked about many different topics. At last I 42 the topic “Believe in yourself”. I did the best to remember the whole speech and practiced it over 100 43 .With my mother ’s love, I did 44 in the contest. I could hardly believe my 45 when the news came that I had won the first place. I heard the cheers(赞美) 46 the teachers and students. Those classmates 47 once looked down on (瞧不起) me, now all said “Congratulations” 48 me. My mother hugged me tightly for a while and gave me a kiss on my forehead.
49 then, everything has changed for me. When I do anything, I try to tell 50 to be confident and I will find myself. This is true not only for a person but also for a country.

A man got a new car and he was very proud 26 it. One day, when he 27 back home, he saw his three-year-old son 28 hitting the new car with a toy hammer. The man was 29 angry that he ran to his son, grabbed the hammer from 30 , and used the hammer to hit the little boy’s hands too hard. The 31 boy cried out but his father didn’t care.
When the father 32 , he took his son to the 33 as fast as he could. Although the doctor tried his best to save the 34 bones（骨头）, he had to cut the fingers from both of the boy’s hands in the end.
When the boy 35 in the hospital and saw his hands, he innocently(天真) said, “Dady, I’m sorry about your car.” Then he asked, “but 36 are my fingers going to grow back?” The father 37 very sad.
Think about the story when 38 steps on your feet or when you wish to take revenge(报复). Think first before you lose your patience with someone. Cars can 39 , but broken bones and hurt feelings often can’t.
People often make mistakes. But we should remember that forgiveness is greater than revenge. 40 before act!
