2026年暑假乐园海南出版社八年级英语外研版第63页答案
Ⅱ. 阅读理解。
When I was in middle school, my teacher saw something special in me. He asked me to enter a writing competition. At first, I said no. English was my second language, and writing was really hard for me. But my teacher believed in me. He said he loved my stories I told in class and thought I could do well. So, I decided to give it a try. My story was about Paul Revere's horse. Paul Revere was a man who rode his horse one night to tell people about soldiers coming. I wrote the story from the horse's point of view(角度). It was a fun idea, and I started to enjoy thinking about what the horse might feel that night.
Writing wasn't easy. There were times I felt tired and full of doubts. I wanted to give up. But I kept working on it, just like Paul Revere's horse kept running. My sister helped me with grammar, and I read a lot about Paul Revere.
When I showed my story to my teacher, he laughed and asked me to write it again. So, I wrote it over and over. Slowly, I found myself loving writing.
Then, one day, I got amazing news. I had won first prize in the competition! I was over the moon! My teacher was really proud. He always knew I could do it.
Receiving the prize was just the start. The competition changed my attitude towards writing. It became more than just a school subject; it turned into a way of expressing myself and sharing my ideas. That competition, the story of Paul Revere's horse, and my teacher's guidance inspired my lifelong love for writing. It taught me that with hard work and belief, I could turn my challenges into victory.
