What's your idea about success? Some people say that beginners have all the luck, while others believe that success 1 only with practice. In fact, I feel both of these statements （陈述） are not true all the time. Each is true in some ways 2 not in others.

    For example, I went to a drawing competition many years ago and 3 surprisingly. As a prize, I got a film ticket to seeTitanic. I was really 4 because it was the first time I had taken part in any competition. Thinking that I might be lucky again, I  5  joining in other art competitions. But the result was that I  6  won again. I accepted the fact that the other people had a  7artistic ability than I did. Art was not something I was especially interested in and I had never practiced the different art skills. So, the8  I produced were not of avery high standard.

    These experiences taught me a lot. Though I might have been lucky 9, I also need to put in hard work. As we know,  10   makes perfect, so I believe success builds on less luck and chance.
