挑戰自我 Competition with myself

　　When my teacher told me to prepare for this competition I restated, hesitated.Everybody in my class knows that. I never learned English in my primary school.I couldn't speak English one year ago, but now, could I take part in this competition? No, I can't. Is aid to myself? I'm afraid of making mistakes before so many learned professors and before my classmates and teachers.Suddenly!

　　A voice came to my ears.“Everybody will make mistakes. Even the very famous American president George Bush” My English teacher said in my class.When I heard that, I think I can. I run into my teacher's office happily. “I will do it.” I said. So I stand here today. In front of you.

　　【參考譯文】

　　當我的老師告訴我準備比賽時，我重申了一下，我班上的每個人都知道。我在小學從來沒有學過英語，一年前我不會說英語，但是現在，我能參加這個比賽嗎?不，我不能。對自己有幫助嗎?我害怕在這么多博學的教授面前，在我的同學和老師面前犯錯誤!

　　我聽到一個聲音：“每個人都會犯錯。即使是非常著名的美國總統喬治·布什“我的英語老師在我的課堂上說，當我聽到這個，我想我可以。我高興地跑進老師的辦公室。“我會做的，”我說。所以我今天站在這里。在你面前。
