Once my mother told me a story. In Africa, when an antelope (羚羊) wakes up every morning, the first thing it thinks about is, "I must be able to run faster than the fastest lion, or I will be killed."(1) the first thing the lion thinks about is,"I must be able to catch the slowest antelope, or I will starve to death." So, almost at the same time, they get up and start running toward the rising sun.
This is life: full of chances and challenges.(2) For students, it is just the same. If we do not study hard, sooner or later, we will fall behind the other students. At first, I did not know what the word "exam" meant. Later, I knew an exam was a kind of competition. In competitions, there are always winners and losers. As I grew up,I got to know competition well.(3) .
Each time I saw children playing games,and heard their laughter,I wished I were that age again.(4) So I picked up my pen and began to study hard again.
I was still not sure what competition really meant. One day, I was taking part in an English﹣speaking competition. When I went to the stage, I saw other students looking at me kindly.(5) It is not as cruel as my teacher and parents told me. In fact, competition is the opposite: it is kind and necessary.
A. When a lion wakes from his dream B. I suddenly knew what competition was C. There must be competitions in one' s life, so people can improve D. However, I remembered my parents' words, "You must work very hard in order to have a good future." E. Whether you are an antelope or a lion, you must go ahead when the sun rises |
