Xiaoqing has been taking English classes for 129 days, and her love for the language is growing day by day. On the 129th day of English class, the teacher gave the students a special task to compose a poem in English.
With full enthusiasm, Xiaoqing began her creative journey. She closes her eyes and lets her thoughts wander, as if she were in a colorful garden. With an endless flow of inspiration, she quickly picked up the pen and turned the beautiful scene in her heart into poetry
in the garden of dreams, flowers bloom so bright,violets and roses, a sight to make one’s heart light.
butterflies flutter, adding color to the view,a world of beauty, waiting for me to explore.”
Xiaoqing is very satisfied with the poems she has written, and she really feels the progress she has made in her English learning. However, when she handed the poem to her teacher the next day, a small mistake slipped into her work. It turned out that she accidentally wrote "butterfly" as "butterfliy" in the poem.
After discovering this small mistake, Xiaoqing's mood was a little low, but she quickly regained her strength. She understands that mistakes are opportunities to learn, while setbacks are ladders to growth. She took the initiative to ask the teacher for correct spelling and carefully recorded this confusing word in her notebook.
In order to overcome this small setback, Xiaoqing worked harder to learn English. In class, she listened attentively and actively participated in every interactive session; After class, she not only reads a variety of English books and magazines, but also participates in English study groups to practice speaking and writing with her classmates. She believes that through continuous efforts, she will be able to improve her English.
During an English learning group activity, the students played a fun word solitaire game. With her rich vocabulary and solid foundation, Xiaoqing performed well in the game and won the applause and admiration of her classmates. This experience made Xiaoqing more confident, and she also strengthened her determination to learn English well.
As time passed, Xiaoqing's efforts finally paid off. In an English test, she achieved excellent results, and the teacher read aloud the poem she had written earlier in front of the class:
in the garden of dreams, flowers bloom so bright,violets and roses, a sight to make one’s heart light.
butterflies flutter, adding color to the view,a world of beauty, waiting for me to explore.”
The classmates applauded Xiaoqing, and her heart was full of pride. This success made Xiaoqing understand that setbacks are only temporary, and as long as you have determination and perseverance, you will definitely be able to overcome difficulties.
The edge of the sword is sharpened, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. Xiaoqing knows that there is still a long way to go to learn English, but she is ready. She will continue to work hard and be brave enough to pursue her dreams.
In the days to come, Xiaoqing believes that she will be able to dance freely in the English-speaking world like a butterfly.
