I can still hear my teammate’s voice in my mind, “No, do not press the buzzer(蜂鸣器) until you (discuss) the answers with us, okay?”
I still pressed the buzzer anyway,(stick) to my instinct(直觉). My team had no time to waste. Checking the answers would require too much time. Besides, I did
quick answer check myself and it looked just fine.
I was doing was a brave move, of course. If what I was about to say was wrong, the
(possible) of our team winning would be destroyed
(complete). I had said a couple of wrong answers before, thus reducing my teammates’ faith in me. I told the teacher my answer. My heart
(beat) wildly while I waited for my teacher’s response. When at last I heard that my answer was indeed correct, I could feel relaxed. I knew my method was against what the team wanted,
I decided to stick to what I thought would benefit the team, instead of sitting and doing
because of the feeling of deep regret I had about the previous wrong
(answer). Trust your instinct. Do not be afraid to try something in your own way.
