In the past, archery (箭术) was used for hunting. But in modern times, it is mainly a competitive _________ and a leisure activity. Archery is one of my favorite sports.
Learning this skill has been an experience that has impressed me. A number of times my arrows (箭头) _________ the target(靶子). I tried to improve, but I kept failing and got very _________.
The coach, who watched the archers while they practice, _________ that I was in a bad mood and tried to help me. He _________ that my body should be at or nearly perpendicular (垂直的) to the target and the shooting line. As for aiming, he said, it required hand-eye coordination (协调), similar to throwing a ball.
I listened to him carefully and started to _________ my body motion (动作). I continued to shoot and tried different ways to aim. When I finally got an arrow to hit the bull’s eye, I overcame my self-doubt and my frustration (挫折) was over. The coach _________ and gave me a thumbs-up sign.
I suddenly realized that learning archery is not just about learning the correct motion of shooting. It is of greater _________ for an archer to learn to concentrate, to be patient and to persist (坚持). _________ the arrow missed the target, I told myself, “Don’t be upset. Pick up another arrow and try again.”
Keep walking on the right path and __________ we’ll reach our goal. This is what I learned from my archery experience.
