I still remember my first ballet (芭蕾) class.

One day, my parents took me to see a ballet show when I was 6 years old. It was amazing. Then I wanted to learn ballet.

When I first went into the ballet class. I saw some girls wearing pink skirts and cute shoes. They danced so beautifully. However, I knew that, like any other dance, behind all the beauty, there was much hard work.

After I started to learn ballet, I found it hard for me to dance well because I had fat legs and short arms. What’s more, I couldn’t stand straight after I put on my ballet shoes. I was disappointed and didn’t want to dance anymore.

Luckily, I met Miss Yang, an excellent teacher. She encouraged (鼓励) me to be more hard-working than others and helped me a lot. My parents also told me that I could do it. So I didn’t give up and worked hard for two years, Finally, I could dance very well.

Now I still love dancing ballet and I am good at it. I learned that if I am not good enough, I need to work harder.
