A vivid experienceWhen I was 14 years old, I volunteered to work at the water station at a 10,000m race. My job was to pass out water to the runners. I felt excited when I saw different kinds of people pass by and take a cup of water hurriedly. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past. After seeing so many kinds of people do it, I thought maybe I could also do it. So the next year I signed up for the race. During the race, I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked. Sometimes I was even not sure if I could finish. Then came an important moment. At one point near the end, an old man ran past me, very, very fast. Therefore, I was embarrassed because I was much younger than him, but I couldnt keep up with him. I felt hopeless for a second. But then I realized something. He was running his race and I was running my race. He had different abilities, experience, training and goals for himself. I had mine. Remember my goal was only to finish. I learned something important at that moment. I turned my embarrassment into inspiration (鼓舞). I decided that I would not give up though many people ran past me. As I crossed the finish line, I was proud of my success. l Write at least 60 words on the topic“ My progress(以“我进步了”为题,写一篇不少于60个词的短文,标点符号不占格)你在生活或学习中一定取得过不少进步,比如生活技能的获得、学习方法的掌握、良好习惯的养成。请选取其中一个方面,结合自身经历,谈一谈你是如何取得这一进步的。l The following is for reference only(以下表达仅供参考)l used to do/bel try my best to domake progress in( doing) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _60 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Practice makes perfect!
