Along the way to 2024, there is one word left in my heart－Belief(信念). Our school was going to hold an art festival. Every class was actively preparing for it. However, our class didn't know what to perform at first. After discussion, in the end we decided to sing the song Five thousand years of China to show our love to our country. We practiced hard together after school. After five times' practice, some students still couldn't remember the words. Our head teacher patiently told us that the most important thing for us was "belief". Then she came up with an idea. She divided us into small groups. Then the person who could sing well taught the others. Slowly, it began to work. We were full of hope for the festival. The day arrived. We had never took part in such activities before, so we were kind of nervous. Our head teacher seemed to read our minds and she gave us some suggestions to make us feel relaxed. But when we stood in front of hundreds of people, we still felt nervous. We all tried to control ourselves because there was a belief in our hearts. When we started to sing, the head teacher looked at us with a smile. This made all of us no longer feel nervous. We succeeded in singing the song. As it was over, we got exciting cheers. Through this experience, I understood the importance of working together and I loved it very much. |
