interest breathe useful thank practice fast run do my best |
I started to love running at a young age. I couldn't wait to get older so that I could run in the Olympics and win lots of medals. One day my mother saw an ad for a race in a newspaper. "Would you be in taking part in this race?" she asked me, pointing to the advertisement.
"Yes, of course." I answered. I spent the next few days for my big race.
On the day of the race, just before the race, my father said to me, "Don't up all your energy at the beginning of the race. You need to have enough energy so you can run much at the end."
The race began. Following Dad's words, I didn't run as fast as I could. Then other started passing me, which made me feel nervous. I began to feel tired, and I started slowing down. Just at that moment I heard, "Come on, Kelly! You can do it!" I saw Dad running beside me around the outside of the track (跑道).
I took a deep and went on running. I didn't win the race. I came fifth, but I felt like a winner. I , and I didn't give up.
Later, as I thought about the race, I felt that my dad never left my side. He always encourages me when I feel like giving up. I'll remember my dad's words forever, "Never give up, even if you lose."
