Here is my unforgettable experience. One day I joined a story telling contest. Two of my
friends and I had been chosen to take a part in the final round at the district level. I was very
happy and eager to win the competition.

For preparation, I had to memorize and understand the story well.My teacher guided and
taught me pronunciation, facial expression and gestures. One day, before performing, my
friends and I were busy to prepare the props and costumes for the competition. Thing that me
sad was my teacher rented the props and costumes for my friends but not for me. My two
friends had beautiful costumes and luxurious props. Although I just wore the simple ones, I
performed my best to win the competition.

The competition started. I got number 29 and my friends got number 5 and 10. I was nervous
but I showed my best performance on stage. Lots of people took photos and videos of me.
Finally, anxiety was gone after I had finished performing. And then, the announcement came
which made three of us very uneasy. Luckily I was chosen as the first winner. I went to the
stage and all the judges congratulated me and gave a plague, trophy, and money. I was very
happy.
