Several days ago, I went to Xi’an, for an English speaking competition was held there, but you know, I was just a listener then, rather than a real participant. Many of my friends said I was creasy to do that kind of thing, many hours of train journey (they know I am afraid of trains)just for a day’s speech and not enough time to travel because I had to come back for lessons, but I insisted.
I am not good at speaking in public, maybe I can say it is my dream to be a good one, I pay much attention to National English speaking competition (an annually event), each year I buy the tapes or CDs, listening to the speeches, reading their reflections, and I did learn a lot from all of the contestants .And then when I got to know that this year the competition in Western region would be held in Xi’an Jiaotong University, I said to myself, “well, it is not very far away, I am going to ‘feel’ it ,in the real hall.” And I did. And I think it is a worthy journey for me. I was so close to this competition-thing, I made new friends, and again I realized that China is so big and there are so many talents of my age. I don’t feel inferior, since it can do nothing but just make me lose faith, but I do look at it in another way: there is a long long way to go. And I hope it is not too late.
Yeah,I am a senior now, each of us know that our college years are gong to be over soon. Many chose to take part in the postgraduate entrance exam, so they are striving for it, really really hard, some even have the idea of giving up, I hope they all could pass it and attent their dream university, true, because they are so hard-working,and paying a great price,mentally,physically, financially,everything.For me, I am not going to take that, for many reasons .I dare not relax a bit, actually. It is time to make CVs (résumés) and begin my job hunting,OMG,it seems that no future for me. I do not want to graduate, though I know it is something of sooner or later.
There are so many books that I haven’t read yet,many many things haven't done.I will stop here today. Best wishes for all of you!
