My father was a tennis player and my sister is a high jumper at school. But I'm not interested in sports. At the beginning of this term, my PE teacher suggested that I should take part in the women's marathon.
I was very surprised because I was never a good runner. In order to encourage me, he said if I took part in the race, I would get the highest mark for this term's PE class. So I decided to have a try. I prepared for the race very hard. I ran every day and had the special diet (膳食) in the morning before school.
When the day of the marathon arrived, I was very nervous. All my family wished me good luck. They knew how hard I practised. I was worried that I would be the last. However, when I started to run, I only thought about the race. I did not remember when I passed the other runners. Suddenly I realised that I had come first. I was very happy when I won the race. From this, I learnt that success always comes out of hard work.
