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.
