Question

    When I was in primary school, I was too weak in French to pass the exam. I often got an “E” or F on my papers. My classmates often laughed at me in class. I often felt sad but could not  do anything. But later, a French speech contest changed my life. And it also changed my views on everything.

It was a Wednesday afternoon. My father asked me to take part in a French speech contest. It was a terrible idea! My French grades were always bad.

“Don’t worry, my son. Believe in yourself and you’re sure to win the contest” With my father’s encouragement, I accepted his offer. After that my father and I chose a right topic. Then I practised hard at it. I spent a lot of my spare time practising it again and again in order not  to miss a word. Finally, it turned out that my speech was successful. When my French teacher gave me a call and told me I got the first prize, I could hardly believe my ears. And my father was so excited that he couldn’t say a word.

Then everything has changed. When I do anything, I always believe in myself and try my best to do it well.
