And there are big and small secrets. I also have my own secret. This secret is insignificant, it's that I've learned how to ride a bike and got a bicycle of my own.
In the past, looking at the tall shape of the bicycle, I didn't dare to get on and try it out, for fear that I would fall off once I got on.
One day, encouraged by my father, I bravely got on the bike. The bike didn't obey my commands. When I wanted to turn right, it went left; when I wanted to go forward, it wobbled all over the place. In anger, I threw down the bike and refused to learn anymore. No matter how much my father persuaded me, I just didn't want to learn.
Later, all the children in the neighborhood had learned how to ride bikes. Seeing their happy and unrestrained faces, my heart began to waver. I told my dad, "Dad, I want to try again." Dad smiled and said to me, "Come on, I believe in you, you will definitely succeed. If you learn, I'll buy you a brand new bike. But this thing will be kept secret for now, let's give your mom a surprise when you've learned, okay?" I nodded in agreement. When mom was not at home, dad and I secretly went outside to practice.
When I first got on the bike, dad helped hold it steady. I stepped on the pedal, and the bike started moving forward. I kept accelerating, and slowly, dad let go. As I was riding, I fell down many times. Encouraged by dad's voice, I got up again and again and continued to ride. After several days of effort, I learned how to turn and brake. I felt like a bird set free, happily riding on the road. Dad laughed and said, "Let's go tell your mom this good news."
When we got home, I told mom the good news. Mom pushed out a brand new bike and gave it to me, saying, "Good job, son, congratulations!"
Oh, it turned out mom already knew my secret, did dad tell her?
I Have A Doubt
Doubt means feeling confused, not knowing what to do. I have a doubt that has been haunting me, leaving me puzzled.
On New Year's Day, the streets were bustling with people. We took a bus back from Xianghu Lake. When the bus entered Tiyu Road, it was already packed solid. Tiyu Road was originally not very wide, plus cars were parked on both sides. Many vehicles and pedestrians were jostling each other, trying desperately to push forward, which resulted in even more congestion, and everyone was stuck in place. I glanced at the situation on the road and thought, "What should we do? Are we going to be stuck here?"
I heard the driver grumbling, "The quality of Xiao's people is getting worse." A passenger also complained angrily, "Look, if the car in front didn't force its way, we wouldn't be stuck." Everyone was talking at once, discussing heatedly.
I also fell into deep thought: Some people are too stubborn, they like to push forward, hoping to reach their destination faster, but end up disappointed, wasting more time. Don't they understand this principle? Why don't the traffic police come to maintain order?
After a while, I saw someone walking towards us vaguely in the distance. Upon closer inspection, it was a traffic officer. Finally, there was hope. Cars that were pushing forward reversed back to their original positions. Soon, Tiyu Road was no longer congested and regained its tranquility.
When I got home, I suddenly understood. I realized a profound truth: Take a step back, and the horizon becomes vast.
Adversity Prepares You For Success
There were only a few days left until winter vacation, and I was already excited about going to a classmate's birthday party.
"Unexpected changes can happen anytime." One noon, I was playing basketball, suddenly, a ball flew towards me. I tried to catch it, but it was too late. My thumb was hit hard, and it hurt. My classmates ran over and asked, "Are you alright?" I smiled and said, "It's fine, it just hurts a little." I thought the pain would go away soon. However, my finger swelled up, so Teacher Xu immediately called my dad. Dad took me to the hospital, and after examination, the doctor said it was fractured, and needed to be wrapped in plaster. My heart sank, as I couldn't write with my right hand. The final exam was coming up, what should I do? Maybe I wouldn't even be able to attend the birthday party. I was very disheartened.
After being wrapped in plaster, at school, I could only sit still watching my classmates rush to finish their homework, my heart felt like an ant on a hot pan, anxious. I couldn't write, so I had to ask teachers and classmates for help. At home, I couldn't complete the assignments given by the teacher, so my mom had to write for me. Later, I made up my mind to eat with my left hand and write with my index and middle fingers of my right hand.
By the time of the final exam, Teacher Xu gave me extra time, and I finally finished the exam. Mom praised me, saying that true men are not afraid of difficulties.
My classmate's birthday came, we brought small gifts and spent a joyful day together.
Every time I think about this incident, I always remember an ancient saying: "There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as one sets his mind to it."
The Taste Of Loneliness
Reflections On Reading "The Little Prince"
Today I read a classic - "The Little Prince". The Little Prince was lonely, living on a very small planet.
"The Little Prince" tells such a story: The Little Prince thought he had offended the rose on his planet, so he decided to leave. He met many people along the way. The Little Prince eventually arrived in the desert on Earth, where he met a venomous snake that wanted to bite him and a fox that wished to be tamed. Through conversations with them, the Little Prince understood many truths. Thus, the Little Prince wanted to return home. Later, the snake bit the Little Prince, fulfilling his wish to go home...
"You know, when one is sad, they always like to watch the sunset." This is my favorite sentence. It expresses the loneliness of the Little Prince, reminding me of myself. I often stay alone at home, just like the Little Prince, feeling lonely. But I also find ways, just like the Little Prince. For example, sometimes I go to the Xinhua Bookstore to read books and increase my knowledge; sometimes I go downstairs to play with the kids; sometimes I visit friends' homes and solve problems with classmates... This way, playing with other children makes me not feel lonely.
"Then I saw a peculiar little man standing there, solemnly observing me." This sentence was when the Little Prince first appeared, and I instantly liked him.
The author of "The Little Prince" is the French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. I think it's written very well, if you want to read it, I can lend it to you.
New Year, New Things
The New Year has arrived, it's time to relax.
On the first day of the New Year, mom took me and my sister to go sightseeing outside.
We first went to the cinema to watch a movie, "Pleasant Goat And Big Big Wolf: Happy Dragon Year". The content of the movie is this: Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf discovered many dragons on the Green Green Grassland. The young dragons said their home had been destroyed, so Pleasant Goat decided to help them. They accidentally entered the Dragon Castle, and through cooperation between Pleasant Goat and his group and the young dragons, the Dragon Castle was saved from danger. The most touching part of the movie was when Big Big Wolf and Pleasant Goat faced life-and-death situations, they left the danger to themselves and safety to others. This fearless spirit and heroic demeanor made us admire them greatly, and it's worth learning from. Watching this scene, tears welled up in my eyes, and I was deeply immersed in the friendship between Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf.
Later, we went to Xiang Lake. We leisurely walked on the path, listening to the clear chirping of birds, smelling the faint fragrance of plum blossoms, watching the crystal-clear stream, and enjoying delicious snacks, truly like entering paradise!
On the way home, it started raining. The rain was cold, but our hearts were warm.
New Year, New Things
The New Year has arrived, I went back to my hometown to visit my elderly grandparents.
As soon as we entered the village, we saw neon light tubes hanging on trees like meteors, colorful and incredibly beautiful. "Meteors" were surrounded by large lanterns, red and bright, creating a real festive atmosphere.
At my grandparents' house, I saw the four characters "Jixiang Ruyi" (auspiciousness as desired) posted on the door. At this moment, grandma came out, smiling and saying to me, "Happy New Year!" I replied, "Grandma, me too, Happy New Year!" Grandma welcomed me into the hall, and I saw that the whole family was gathered. So, we started eating. During the meal, my younger sister secretly asked me, "How many points did you score on your final exam?" Without hesitation, I answered, "Not bad, how about you?" Sister said, "95 in Chinese, 100 in Math." Mom saw us whispering and said, "Don't talk during meals." Grandma heard and said, "It's okay, it's New Year, we should talk, after all, we haven't seen each other for many days." We all laughed happily.
After the meal, grandma called me outside. I asked grandma what was the matter. Grandma took out a big red envelope and said to me, "This is grandma's token of appreciation, please accept it." I shook my hands and said, "No need, I appreciate the sentiment, but I won't take the red envelope." Grandma insisted again and again that I must accept it, so I embarrassingly said, "If you insist, then I'll accept it. Thank you, grandma." Grandma smiled and said to me, "Wish you a happy and joyful New Year."
This New Year, I received a lot of lucky money. Most of it will be used for interest classes, and a small part I plan to use to buy books I like, enriching my knowledge.
The New Year brings new sights, different from usual. Although the time spent together is short, we are very happy.
