I am a karate (空手道) player. I still remember my first karate competition. Like other players, I was very excited about my event. I watched every player's techniques (技巧) so that I could carefully avoid their moves.
Somehow I got into the semi-final. In the semi-final, I got injured. I still didn't give up and got into the final. After all, getting the gold medal was my dream.
In the final competition, there were no supporters on my side, as I was a new face. Instead, the crowd was cheering for my opponent. I could hear only my opponent's name.
I ignored the crowd's cheering. I kept one thing in mind: focus, wait and attack. I had confidence in myself, and I knew that no matter how strong my opponent was, I had to do my best and fight well.
When the time was up, I was leading with a 3-0 score. One thing I learned from that event is that no matter how strong your opponent is, don't think you are weak or strong. Just give your best shot, and you will make your way to success.
Win or lose, you will learn from every step you take.

Travelling has been popular with people for a long time. Many of today's travellers are trying to find an unusual experience of adventure. Hiking may be a good choice.
Instead of spending your vacation on a bus, in a hotel or sitting on the beach, you may want to try hiking. Hiking is a great way to travel. You will get close to nature and take exercise at the same time. Hiking is easy to do and doesn't have to be very expensive. You can hike close to your home or travel to other places. The basic equipment you need for hiking is simple:good shoes, clothes and a backpack. You can hike in the mountains, in a forest or along a river. You can also go on a hike in the city.
Hiking is fun and exciting, but you shouldn't forget safety. Here are some basic tips for successful hiking:
★Don't hike alone.
★Bring water, a good map and a cellphone.
★Wear a hat to protect yourself from the sun.

My friend, Amy, once said to me, “Travelling alone is a lifechanging experience.”I travelled alone a lot when I was in my early 20s and I loved it. The experiences of travelling alone really make me more adventurous(有冒险精神的).I think everyone should try at least once in their lives. Now I'm married. I go everywhere with my husband and it's just not the same. The feeling of being on an adventure has gone. I miss travelling alone.
I then thought of my first solo(单独的) trip to South America. I went to South America and stayed there for six months. I find travelling with other people is not as exciting as travelling alone. I don't meet adventures with them but I can experience a lot when travelling alone. When travelling by myself, I can choose what I will do next at any time. I can visit a place that I didn't plan to see before. I can go there without having to agree with anyone first. I try to work out all my problems on my own and I become more independent(独立的).
However, there is just one thing that is not so good for me. I always hope that there are good hotels and safe transport routes(路线) in the places I will visit. So every time before I begin my solo trip, I have to make sure the hotel is good and that the transport routes are safe.
