When I walked into Ron Cruz's home with my guitar, "I'm here to try out for the band," I said. Ron was playing the bass guitar (低音吉他).
"We will have a competition (比赛) in five days. I wonder whether you can play Under the Moon," Ron said. "I began to know that song when I was nine," I answered. Then we began to play it. They sounded pretty good together and the bass mixed well with my guitar. "Here's the song list for the competition. Please read it carefully. We'd better practice the songs, so you can get used to playing with us," said Ron. The songs were familiar (熟悉的) to me. I thought it wasn't necessary to practice them.
Four days later, the big day came. There were more people than I had expected (预料). I stepped up to the stage (舞台). Suddenly I felt a little nervous (害怕的). I didn't know how to play it.
At that time, something wonderful happened. I heard the beautiful music from Ron's bass. Ron kept playing as if it was all part of the show until I finally relaxed. Ron saved me.
After the experience, I know that good preparation is the key to success.
Do you still like playing basketball or soccer? Why not try some new urban (城市的)sports? Cycling, but outdoors on city roads; surfing, but on the land; playing frisbee, but with a group of people ... New sports are becoming popular and are bringing more joy to us.
According to a study by Houlang Research Institute with over 1,200 young people, more than 93 percent of Generation Z are interested in new urban sports. The study shows that instead of just keeping fit, young people pick them up to socialize. Groups of players have online chats, talking about sports or simply sharing their lives. Most of the young play a role in this popularity. According to a website, people may choose sports that can be played at near places. People also have a stronger love for outdoor activities and healthier lifestyles nowadays.
"The new sports are also suitable for taking photos and are less limited by place," Zou Qingling, the CEO of a famous website, told China News Service. People can enjoy new urban sports at many places in the city, from parks to sidewalks.Qianjiang Evening News also finds that the new sports, especially frisbee, are easy to begin, unlike other traditional sports, such as soccer and basketball.
Urban sports have brought new lifestyles to China. This proves that more people are willing to enjoy sports, according to China News Service. In the future, people will step on a journey of new sports.
