The experience of growth is often compared to a colourful rainbow. The happiness one experiences during growth is the
1
colours of the rainbow, just like blooming flowers. On the other hand,
2
is represented by the pale colours that have no brightness. All the same, all these colours are
3
in our process of growing up.
Seven years ago, I envied people who could play any musical instrument(乐器) well and wanted to be like them.
4
my mother bought an electronic organ(电子风琴) for me. But I soon lost
5
in it. The keys(键) were just boring black and white and playing it well took a lot of
6
. No matter how beautiful the music was, I felt it as a simple colour in my heart.
Then, there came the day when my mother asked me to listen to the piano music
7
and feel it deep in my heart. By enjoying the music, I found some
8
in different parts of the music. At first, it was gentle as the quiet night just before the dawn. And then, the music became more and more exciting.
9
the rhythm went on, it became louder and the white sky was soon
10
by several thick, dark clouds, trembling(颤动) with anger and excitement. After the music
11
, I was completely lost in the music. Looking at the piano, I realized the
12
of music. The
13
were still black and white, but the music was
14
, giving me a completely new feeling.
This experience has been important for my growth. It not only awoke my love of music, but also created the gorgeous(绚丽的) colours of my
15
rainbow.
