    Life is not easy, so I'd like to say “When anything happens, believe in yourself.”

    When I was a young boy, I was too shy to talk to anyone.My classmates often laughed at me.I was sad but could do nothing.Later, something happened, and it changed my life.It was an English speech contest.My mother asked me to take part in.What a terrible idea! It meant I had to speak before all the teachers and students of my school!

    “Come on, boy.Believe in yourself.You are sure to win.” Then my mother and I talked about many difficult topics.At last I chose the topic “Believe in yourself”.I tried my best to remember all the speech and practiced it over 100 times.With my mother's great love and encouragement(鼓励), I did well in the contest.I could hardly believe my ears when the news came that I had won the first place.I heard the cheers from the teachers and students.Those classmates who once looked down on (瞧不起) me now all said “Congratulations!” to me.My mother hugged me and cried excitedly.

    Since then, everything has changed for me.When I do anything, I try to tell myself to be confident and I will do a great job.This is true not only for a person but also for a country.

    My school is so beautiful. It is in a small village in Germany. There's a special activity in my school. And I'm sure you've never heard about it. It is called Abi-Ulk. It's the favourite day for us.

    Every summer in our school, we have the Abi-Ulk day. On that day, students will no longer take lessons in classrooms but rush onto the playground. They can play games together and have fun for a whole school day. How about the teachers? They have to sit in an obstructed(堵住的) area to ensure that they can't control the students on the other side of the playground.

    Last year's Abi-Ulk impressed me a lot. I still remember that it was a hot day. We all went to the playground. But this time, we didn't just play games but had a water fight！Everyone had a water gun. We ran after each other and tried to shoot others with water. The fight was so exciting！After an hour, we all got wet. Then, the school band started to play. Teachers came from their "obstructed area" and joined us. We danced and sang. What a fun day!

    ①它是世界上最流行的歌曲。It has been sung hundreds of millions of times each year. It has been heard in outer space, at baseball stadiums, in movies and in domiciles(住处) from the White House to the remotest (最遥远的) backwoods shack (棚屋) in Mississippi. It has been wired to millions of music boxes, greeting cards, watches, toys, games and other products. And it is the only song in the English language to make people of all ages smile and sing along. ②The song, of course, is "Happy Birthday to You."

    This amazing song began its life in 1893. Written by two sisters from Kentucky, Mildred and Patty Hill, it was originally (起初) named "Good Morning to All", and intended as a classroom greeting from teachers to students.

    Good morning to you.

    Good morning to you.

    Good morning, dear children.

    Good morning to all.

    To this day, no one knows for sure who wrote the new words to Hill's melody (旋律)，or exactly when it happened. "Happy Birthday to You" first appeared in a songbook in 1924. The words were presented as the second stanza (节) to "Good Morning to You".
