We all know that Chinese kung fu is popular all over the world. And I have always loved it very much. I 1 watch kung fu movies and read books about it. I think kung fu is amazing, and I dream of learning it one day. Last 2, my dad drove me to a kung fu club near our community. I was very excited but also a little 3 when I got out of the car and walked into the club for the first time.
The club was in a small but clean building. There were some kung fu tools and pictures on the walls. Our 4, Mr. Li, was tall and strong. He had short black hair and looked very kind. “Kung fu is not just about fighting. It’s about 5 your body and mind, and learning to be brave and strong,” he said to all of us in the first class.
The first lesson was very 6. We did many basic exercises, like running, jumping and doing some easy kung fu movements. I tried my best to follow the teacher, 7 I still couldn’t do well. My legs hurt a lot after the exercises, and I felt like 8. I sat quietly for a while and thought, “This is much harder than I think. I want to 9.”
Mr. Li saw my worries 10. He walked to me patiently and said, “Don’t give up. 11 is difficult at first. Everyone needs time to learn. Keep practicing, and you will 12.” His warm words gave me much hope and courage.
After that, I practiced 13 every day after school. I never stopped even when I felt tired. A month later, I did much better in kung fu class. Now I can do most of the movements well, and I am really 14 of myself.
From my experience, I understand that 15 is the key to success. Kung fu makes me strong and confident. It also teaches me to keep trying and never give up easily when I meet difficulties in my life.
