As a Canadian, I have been very interested in Chinese since very young. the age of 12, I entered a Chinese writing competition. I tried (real) hard but I failed to win a prize. I (think) that learning Chinese was a huge challenge and lost confidence in myself.
One day, a book called Journey to the West caught (I) eyes. In the book, Monkey King needs to borrow a fan to cross the Mountain of Flames. he fails twice, he doesn't give up and finally makes it.
Strongly encouraged by Monkey King, I kept (work) hard on Chinese. Still, I met some problems along the way, but I found learning Chinese was exciting challenge for me. Last week, I (give) the third prize in a Chinese writing competition. I wasn't the (great) one in the competition, but I learned to face challenges bravely.
The journey of learning Chinese is like climbing towards the mountain top, sometimes up, sometimes down. The experiences can cause me pain， but also fill my life with (happy). I will continue on my journey, looking forward to playing a role in developing communication between the East and the West in the future.
