I'm a middle school student. In the past. I was (害羞的), so I had few friends. To make some changes, I decided to join the school sailing team. When I first got on the sailboat, I thought it was (令人愉快的). But it was difficult to steer the boat, (尤其)for me. I felt really afraid. The boat kept shaking left and right. It didn't move forward. At that time I (理解)that many things were not as easy as I thought.
In the beginning, I really wanted to give up. Mr Li was my (教练). He taught well but I still often made (错误). That made me sad. Luckily, my mother always encouraged me. She would always (建议)me to listen to Mr Li more carefully and try to remember the (句子)she said, "All things are difficult before they are easy!"
Then I kept training. Day by day, I could do better. Mr Li was (满意的)with my improvement. At the same time, training in the team gave me the (机会)to make friends with the teammates. I'm so glad that I joined the sailing team.
