01---I Love English
As everyone knows, English is very important today.It has been used everywhere in the world.It has become the most common language on Internet and for international trade.If we can speak English well, we will have more chance to succeed.But for myself, I learn English not only because of its importance and its usefulne, but also because of my love for it. When I learn English, I can feel a different way of thinking which gives me more room to touch the world.When I read English novels, I can feel the pleasure from the book.When I speak English, I can feel confident.When I write English, I can see the beauty.I love English, because it gives me a colorful dream.I hope I can travel around the world one day.With my good English, I can make friends with many people from different countries.I can see many places of great interests.I also want to use my good English to introduce our great places to the English spoken people.I hope that they can love our country, too.I am sure that I will realize my dream one day!
02---My Fears About a year ago, I took part in my very first English Speech Contest.When I stood before the microphone with all eyes staring directly at me, I could hardly speak.I stood there, embarraed and helple, struggling in vain for the right thing to say.I lost my courage to speak in public.When my profeor again encouraged me to take part in this competition, I said “no.” I couldn’t endure yet another painful experience.He looked at me right in the eye and said something.I will never forget his words.“Look,” he said, “We all have our fears, and you have yours.You could twist your ankle in a basketball game, but then be afraid to ever play again.Running away can never dispel your fears, but action will.A winner is not one who never fails，but one who never quits.”
As it turned out, my dear old teacher was right.Now, here I am, once again standing before a microphone.My heart is beating fast, and my mouth is dry, but most importantly, I have faced my fears -- and that makes all the difference!
