In the evening some of my friends invited me to the KTV. It
was the first time that I had been there.①At first I didn’t want to go.
I felt depressed②in the afternoon because I did badly in the math exam.
At the KTV, everyone sang songs happily while I was the
only one of the audience.③I thought I was not good at singing and
④I at last
didn’t dare to sing. Due to my classmates’ encouragement,
picked up the microphone and sang I believe I can fly, after which I
felt very happy.⑤Above all, I come back to be a self-confident
person.
It’s really true that “I see me running through that open door.
⑥There is always a door open to you. So just
I believe I can fly”.
believe yourself and you can do everything you can.

This morning I got up at 8:00. After I did morning exercises, I had breakfast. My mother made dumplings for breakfast. They were delicious. After breakfast, I did my homework. Then I helped my mother do housework. Before lunch, I phoned my friend Li Mei. I asked her to go to the cinema with me at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The name of the film was Titanic. I went to the cinema by bus. I arrived there at 1:50 p.m. Li Mei was waiting for me at that moment.
The film was very interesting. We had a good time.
