In Grade Six，because of my poor grades，my parents were 3 that I wouldn't be able to get into an excellent middle school. They 4 me to study harder，but I didn't really understand why they were so anxious.
Summer came. The hot weather made me sleepy and I couldn't concentrate on my textbooks. But every time I wanted to stop 5 ，Mom would shout， "Hey!Think about your 6 . If you don't work hard，you'll regret it!" I had to sit back down again and return to my textbooks. But all I 7 was playing with my friends and eating persimmons.
My mom would say to me，with a serious look on her face， "If a persimmon tree doesn't grow in summer（结出） fruit in autumn!Only by hard work you can get good results. "
But I didn't understand it at that time，I gradually came to see the truth of her words. A few months later，I succeeded in getting into the key middle school. It was 8 . Walking in my new school，I could see quite a few persimmon trees. The fruit was so red that it looked as if it was on fire. Suddenly，I 9 that working hard may be bitter but its fruit is sweet.
