浙江省杭州市保俶塔申花实验学校2024-2025学年九年级上学期期中质量调研英语试卷
I have always been big. I am comfortable with my body but there is a price to pay for being different.
In primary school, I was crazy about gymnastics and was actually the team leader in my final year, but I had to make up for my shortcomings. Long after the other girls had left, I would still be in the school hall, trying my best to practice again and again without the coach around. It took months to master the ribbon(带子) and in the early days, I always got my ribbon in a terrible knot(结). However, I carried on and improved a lot.
Whenever I went up in a competition, I always got the sense that the crowd did not expect much from an overweight child in front of them. They talked about my weight in low voices. One man even said, "That's the ugliest leotard(紧身衣) I've ever seen and the elephant inside it seems to be much better!" Hearing their words, you could understand my feelings. However, I just kept silent because I decided to let my ribbon do the talking. I worked harder on my ribbon and it showed.
I was the winner in National Championship that year, but that was not the best thing I got from hours of tiring practice. The best thing was that my body cannot decide who I am. Society seems to believe that overweight people are unhappy with their weight and have low self-confidence, so they never count much. I do not believe that. I believe I can achieve anything because I am bigger than my body.
①The crowd talked about the writer's weight.
