An Unforgettable Event
Everyone has an unforgettable thing in his/her life,so do I.
When I was in the sixth grade,I joined a basketball match with my classmates at my school.Everyone thought our class team was the best one,and we could be the winner in this match.My classmates and I were really hard-working.We practiced playing basketball every day after school.The big day finally came.All of us took part in this match with excitement.During the match,the team members in our class couldn’t pull together,and everybody thought he was the best so we forgot teamwork was the most important.In the end,we lost this match because of the pride in our hearts.We were very sad and upset.
From this event,I have learned that we should take everything seriously.We should work with each other to make great success!
