Not only did I have to adapt to my changing body, I also had to deal with my parents bitter divorce, a new family and the upsetting move fr

2、om my country home to a crowded town. When we moved, my beloved companion, a small brown pony had to be sold. I was heartbroken and terribly lonely. I couldnt eat or sleep and cried all the time. Finally, realizing how much I missed my pony, my father bought me another horse, Cowboy.Cowboy was

3、without doubt the ugliest horse in the world. But I didnt care. I loved him beyond all reasons. I joined a riding club. When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse was judged by appearance, we were quickly ”shown the gate”. I knew nothing could turn Cowboy into a beauty. My only chance

4、 to compete would be in the timed speed events. I chose the jumping race.For the whole next month we practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home, totally exhausted.All of our hard work didnt make me feel confident by the time the show came. One girl named

5、 Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons. I sat at the gate and sweated all out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the court and finish in first place.My turn finally came. At the signal, we dashed toward the first fence, jumped over it withou

6、t trouble and raced on to the next one. Cowboy then flew over the second, third and fourth fences like a bird and I turned him toward the finish line.No cheers filled the air. The end of our run was met with surprised silence. Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her fancy horse by two seconds.I gained

7、 much more than a blue ribbon that day. At thirteen, I realized that no matter what the odds, Id always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it.

11、boy lost in the event of being judged by appearanceD. both Becky and the author won in the jumping event BLiving and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher. If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very i

12、mportant, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesnt solve anything. Communication begin

13、s with the concerns (关心) of another. It means that you cant just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore (不理睬) everyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing. If you looked up the word “communication” in a dictionary, it would

14、say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance （表达）of information, correspondence （通信）, means of communication: a letter or a message”. To maintain (保持) a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if its just by writing a note. When dealing with parents, y

15、ou always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent.

After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting

17、home. Her parents were mad at first, not when Sophie explained why she was late, they werent as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here. If Sophies parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble. Communication isnt a one-way deal: it goes

18、 both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophies, telling the other person how you feel-listening is the key factor to communication.5.
