Life is not easy, so I' d like to say "When anything happens, believe in yourself. "
When I was a young boy, I was so shy to talk to anyone that my classmates 17 laughed at(嘲笑) me. I was sad but could do nothing. Later, 18 happened, and it changed my life. It was an English speech contest (比赛). My 19 asked me to take part in it. What a 20 idea! It meant I had to speak before all the teachers and students of my school.
" 21 , boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to win the contest. " Then Mother and I talked about many different topics. 22 I chose the topic "Believe in yourself", I tried my best to remember all the speech and practiced it 23 100 times. With the help of my mother, I did well in the contest. I could hardly believe myself when the 24 came that I had won the first place; I heard the cheers from the teachers and the students. Those classmates who once looked down on me, now all 25 "Congratulations!" to me. My mother hugged (拥抱) me and cried excitedly.
Since then, everything has changed for me. 26 I do anything, I try to tell myself to be sure and I will find myself. This is not only for a person but also for a country.

Who's building the new China? It's not the factory owners or the business men and women of China. It's someone else. We see them every day, They work day and night in the terrible working conditions and weather. They build the roads, the theaters, the cinemas and the supermarkets. They even clean up our rubbish. They are China’s migrant workers(民工).
More than 140 million workers have left their homes in the countryside to look for jobs in big cities all over China. They hope to be rich, but they realize they have many difficulties in making enough money. And one of the difficulties that these workers have is the pride and discrimination(歧视)from the people in cities. When night falls, everywhere I look I see the sad faces of the migrant workers. Many are living far away from those whom they love. Yes，they dress differently, they speak differently, and they have different habits, but they work hard .The people in cities regard them as outsiders, and most governments refuse to give them medical care and public schooling for their children. If China hopes to move into the future, many things need to change. The first is discrimination! We need to stop our discrimination against the migrant workers of China! They may not make as much money as some people in cities, but they are good honest people just trying to survive this game of life. These workers are very important and necessary to China’s economic (经济)development and have become an important force for the change of Chinese society. They are building the new China, so we should help them.
