When it comes to my school life, the unforgettable orientation days enters my mind unconsciouly(无意地). All of my classmates participated in different games. To my surprise, I was divided into a group, which is called “Qing Di Quan”. At first, I got into panic and didn’t know how to do each action. When I saw others doing it better than me, I was frustrated. The pressure surrounded me, which made me have to work harder and rise to the challenge bravely. After I had practiced it over and over again, I could do it as well as others.At this moment, I became confident and thrilled.
