Lots of junior high school students enjoy sports My classmates and I had a lot of1 at our school's yearly sports meeting last week.
It was pretty 2 for me because I took part in the 800-meter race for the first time.3 I practiced running hard every day, I was still nervous on the day of the meeting.
My arms were shaking and my heart was beating 4 when I stood at the starting line. Facing endless runway (跑道), I felt like a boat fighting against the wind and rain. I 5 myself that simply joining in was a victory itself. I started to calm down (冷静).
Just then, the starting gun went off and all the runners rushed out like tigers running down a hill. By the time I finished the first lap (圈), I had used up almost all my 6 . But I had to keep running for the last 100 meters. I 7 I couldn't breathe. Looking at the runners in front of me, as they got closer to the finishing line, I really wanted to 8 running and sit down. But I encouraged myself that it must be a victory to keep going and it filled me 9 strength (力量) again. With my remaining strength, I desperately (拼命地) ran to the end of the finishing line.
I ended up in seventh place. This might have been a(n)10 achievement to other people, but it made me feel excited and proud. I have tried all my best.
