Rowing(赛艇) is a good sport for people. The sport is not so commonly played in China, but almost half of all American high schools have rowing teams.
During the season, we practiced rowing a lot. Each one of us had an oar (桨)and we each rowed one oar with both hands. Together we pulled the oars, and the oars pushed the water back so the boat would move forward.When you row, you do a lot of work with your thighs(大腿)and back.
Though the practice was very hard, I chose to do it because I like the joy that hard work brings.Even when the coaches were not there, I kept rowing hard with my hands because I wanted to find out how well I could do. In order to move the boat fast, everyone on the team must keep the same speed, so we needed to work together The experience also taught me that if you want to get something, you need to pay something first. As Americans like to say, "No pains, no gains!"
