五、完形填空
Two months ago, when our class election(选举)started, I decided to run for the class monitor(班长). I enjoyed being a speaker in front of many people and was always friendly to others, so I thought it would not be
for me to win. But I was afraid that people would feel bad for me
I lost.
My plan was to show my
why I wanted to be the class monitor. Actions(行动)speak louder than words. So I kept
in the following week. I
my posters in the classroom. I also spent hours on my talk, promising(承诺)that when any one of my classmates had a problem, he could
come to me. I felt there was a good chance of winning because I prepared it fully.
But when I gave my long talk on Election Day, it wasn't what I thought.
classmates listened except(除了)some of my friends. When it was my opponent's(对手的)time, everyone was screaming his name. His talk was
than mine but all to the point. At that moment, I knew I was out.
The next day, when I got to the school, I just pretended(假装)not to hear it while my class were still talking about the election. Later, things got better. My classmates
about the election and talked to me just as they did before.
Moments like this build personality. I wasn't sorry for putting time and energy into the election. Things aren't always going the way I want. I need to learn to
failure and grow stronger.
