Life is competitive ﹣ some kids can do something faster or better than other kids. This might not seem fair, but all people are different and how well you can do something is different to others. This means there are "winners" and "losers", and lots of people are neither winners nor losers but in﹣between. You can choose to be a good winner or an even better loser whether you are competing against others or yourself. Being a "good" winner No one likes a "show off". No one likes someone who takes all the praise for the efforts of a team. No one likes people who put others down to make themselves look good. To be a good winner you need to: ◆Be modest(谦虚的). ◆ Thank those who helped you for their efforts. ◆ Keep trying to improve your skills. ◆Aim for the next step up in whatever you are doing well. Being an even better loser Of course it's disappointing to lose, especially if you are close to winning. Behaving badly or angrily, name﹣calling and going on about things being "unfair" won't change the final result and will only make you look like a bad sport. And no one likes bad sports either. To be an even better loser you need to : ◆ Behave politely, nicely and kindly. ◆ Congratulate the other team. ◆ keep any negative (消极的) thoughts to yourself ﹣ at least until you are away from the game. It's Ok to let out your negative thoughts to your best friend or parents later. And if you don't do very well in a game, try harder to learn for the next one. Improving yourself makes you a winner too. |

Last weekend my father, my mother, my sister and I went to summer camp. We went to Mount Ermei. It was a very sunny but windy day. We got to the foot of the mountain by bus. In the middle of the mountain there was a clean and clear river. I washed my face with the water. It was a little warm. There were some fishes in the river, too. In the mountain there were many beautiful flowers. At noon, lots of people got together, and they were very friendly. We had lunch in the mountain. The food was very nice, and we liked it very much. After lunch, we went on our trip. Finally we got to the top of the mountain. From there we could see everything below because of the fine weather. I felt like I was flying in the sky.
