Life is not easy, so I’d like to say “When anything happens, believe in yourself!” When I was a young boy, I was too shy to   1   to anyone. My classmates often laughed at me. I was

 2  but could do nothing. Later, something happened, and   3   changed my life. It was an English speech contest（比賽）. My mother asked me to take part in it. What a  4  idea! It meant I had to speak before  5  the teachers and students of my school!

“Come on, boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to  6  .” Then Mother and I talked about many different topics. At last  7  the topic “Believe in Yourself.” I tried my best to  8 all the speech and practised it over 100 times. With my mother’s great love, I did well in the contest. I could hardly believe my ears when the  9  came that I had won the first place. I heard the cheers from the teachers and students. Those classmates who  10  looked down on me, now all said congratulations to me.
