My name is Wei Hua and I'm a sporting robot of the 23rd century． I'm clever at high flying exercises． I jump from spaceships and as I fall， I turn， dive， circle and dance until I softly land as close as I can to the finishing line．Robot competitions in the 23rd century are truly a popular sport． Fans from all over China watch their hand﹣held TVs when a competition comes on． Last time I took part in the 78th Olympics and I won the silver medal for my performance．

    This year I was very proud to be chosen again． I wanted to meet robots from other countries and explore ideas about our sport． However， my programmer fell ill the week before we were leaving． It was very painful for her and I felt very scared． I didn't feel so confident that I would win．

    The day of the competition was rather cold for my legs and my special oil began to freeze． I stopped for a moment（which I shouldn't）before I jumped from the starting place on a little spaceship， then I began my performance． At the correct moment I tried to open my parachute（降落伞）but there was a problem． It only opened a little． I began to fall faster and faster so that I could not turn， dive， circle or dance． My heart stopped beating as I landed heavily on a mountain covered with snow．

    This is why I am writing to you from my hospital bed with two broken legs and a weak head． I did not win anything at the Olympics after all． I need the factory to build me two new legs and an even bigger head． Then I will be able to compete once more． Let's hope for greater success in the next Olympics!
