In the busy study life of my high school, I understand some of the truth of life after experienced something.
It was the second semester of grade two in high school, I had started to prepare the SAT and TOEFL, I decided go to America to finish my university. I had to not only finish the learning content on the class but also study English in my spare time. I was very nervous every day with a lot of pressure , sometimes I was tired and my mood was bad. So one day, a friend asked me to participate in an outdoor activity. I was pleased and went to the site of the activity. I found it was not an ordinary outdoor sports, it was a show of extreme sports , mainly Bicycle Motocross and Skateboarding . Their performances were very exciting and stimulating, and also the extreme sports looked dangerous. After the game, I talked with players of the extreme sports and found that most of them were students. Surprisingly, they were young and the age of the youngest one was only 15. They did not study every day. They worked hard for their target of a star of extreme sports. They thought the study was part of life, they loved extreme sports, so they spent a lot of time on it. Accompany our cheerful talking, I found the other side of extreme sports. The extreme sports were indeed very exciting on stage, but training was very difficult. Sometimes one action lasted a second need to be practiced hundreds of times before using. And injuries were very easy to happen. For example, Yin Jiaqin, one of the best Bicycle Motocross players in China hurted his head in the practicing and rested more than two months. Although there were so many difficulties in extreme sports, but many of people still insisted fervently.
Although we belong to different circles, they took study as entertainment, I took study as all my life. We were the same at some ways. The player could practice hard and become a star of extreme sports, I could go to the United States for my study of Commerce through my hard working. Thus, this experience made me understand a truth, anyone who wants to do something, just enthusiasm and love were not enough, he also needs really serious work.
在我忙碌的高中学习生活中,通过一些事情我明白了一些人生的真理。
那是在高中二年级的第二学期,我已经开始准备SAT和托福,我决定去美国读大学。我不仅要完成课堂上的学习内容,而且还在业余时间学习英语。我每天很紧张,背负了很大的压力。有时候很累,我的心情也很糟糕。所以,有一天,一个朋友叫我去参加户外活动。我很高兴便去了活动现场。我发现这不是一个普通的户外运动,这是一场极限运动秀,主要是小轮自行车越野和滑板。他们的表现非常令人兴奋和刺激,极限运动看起来也很危险。比赛结束后,我跟极限运动的玩家聊天,发现其中大部分都是学生。出人意料的是,他们都很年轻,最年轻的只有15岁。他们并没有每天都紧张的学习,而是为了成为极限运动明星的目标而努力。他们认为学习是生活的一部分,都喜欢极限运动,所以花了很多时间在上面。伴随着我们快乐的交谈,我发现极限运动的另一面。极限运动在舞台上确实非常令人兴奋,但台下的训练是非常困难的。有时,一个持续一秒的动作,需要在使用前练习上百次。而且受伤是很容易发生的。例如,尹嘉谦,中国最好的自行车越野选手之一,在训练中就伤了他的头部,休息了两个多月。尽管在极限运动中有这么多困难,但许多人仍坚持热情。
虽然我们属于不同的圈子,他们把学习作为一种娱乐,我把学习作为我所有的生活。我们在某些方面都是一样。极限运动玩家可以苦练,成为极限运动的明星,我也可以通过我的努力学习去美国研究我的商科。因此,这样的经历让我明白了一个道理,任何人希望做成一些事情,只是热情和爱是不够的,还需要认认真真的工作。
