　　Last Monday, our monitor announced that an English Song Singing Competition would be held in the school auditorium on Friday afternoon. On hearing the news, some classmates signed up for it immediately. I was hesitating about it when my English teacher told me it was a good chance to show my talent. So I decided to have a try.

　　During the following days, I practised the song I had picked again and again until I thought I was well prepared. Then came the big day. I did a really good job and won the first prize, which made me excited.

　　This certainly would be a memorable experience for me!
