In our lives, someone we know by1often encourages us.
Early one morning, I opened the window to find that the sun was shining everywhere. The sunshine warmed my face, making me comfortable. I started to play my beloved violin. When with all my efforts I was playing the climax (高潮部分) to the piece, a sound from next door got my attention.
I was attracted and had a special idea: "How wonderful if we played together!" I began to play pieces by Beethoven with my neighbour, one piece after another.
We played together so well that I was very interested in2she or he looked. Each time I thought about3playing together, I would move my lip, completely unnoticeably.
However, I couldn't understand why the violinist next door never responded (回应) when I knocked on the door. I was terribly disappointed.
A year later, I took part in a violin competition.4the event, I made a new friend,5name was Rita. "Let's welcome contestant Number 10, Rita," the master of the ceremony announced.
This girl, who was my age, was deaf and dumb,6she had played the violin for eight years!
I saw Rita7walk onto the stage. She put the violin between her neck and shoulder and began to perform.
"The music is so8!" I said to myself.
It was9that a girl who was deaf and dumb could play such wonderful music. The audience warmly welcomed her.
What was even harder to believe was that the girl was my neighbour. It was fate that we should meet and become friends.
Rita's story made me realize that life is not always sunny or poetic. Sometimes there are strong storms and setbacks (挫折) . However, no matter what you10, believe in yourself and work hard. You can succeed.
