I will never forget the day on that my father taught me how to fly a kite.

It was spring and the sun was shining brightly with wind blowing gentle. When we set off to the riverside with a new kite, I felt extremely exciting. At first my father held the kite for me, told me to run as quickly as I could when he threw the kite into the air. Although the kite fell to the ground again and again, but I kept on trying with help of my father. Finally I got the hang of them and managed to fly my kite high in the sky.

It was then that I learn a valuable life lesson: we were likely to fail many time before we finally succeed in doing something.

One rainy day while I was walking home with one of my friend, a truck came to a stop besides us. The driver puts the window down and offered us a umbrella because he found we were wet through. I stood there and couldn't believe what the complete stranger was so thoughtful. The man insisted, so I grateful accepted the offer and watched the truck to disappear down the road. The man might need the umbrella herself, and he preferred to give it to us. Keep it in mind, and it is important to give without expect anything in return.

Last week our teacher announced that a Chinese Character Dictation Competition will be held in the auditorium on July 3. Many of us were interested and hoped to join in it, and only one competitor was allowed for each class. Luckily, I got chance.

In the following days, I buried me in preparing for the competition. My classmates gave me a lot of good advices. As the competition was approaching, I felt more and more confident. The day finally came. Some characters were very challenging that many of the competitors got stuck while I succeeded on writing down most of them and won the first prize. When I was standing excited on the stage, pictures of my classmates helps me flashed into my mind. The victory and honor were belonged to all of us.
