21.Last August I took part in the Summer Camp of the General Final Contest of the 16th National Creative English Contest held in Beijing.It was one of the most meaningful thing I did in my Senior 2 summer vacation. The summer camp lasted from August 20 to August 27.During the opening ceremony,we each wrote a postcard to motivate ourselves.On my card I wrote, "Brace yourself and show your best," These words supported me throughout every obstacle I experienced. August 24 witnessed the important debate contest that many of us feared.The night before,my teammates and I sat in a circle,focusing our minds on the debate topic, "Does competition among friends adversely influence their friendships?" All of us were busy searching for examples of Olympic athletes or other real-life people to back up our arguments.Time seemed to disappear faster than usual while we were working on this project. Finally,the big day arrived.Only one minute before we went on the stage,an inner voice entered my mind,saying, "Brace yourself and show your best." Preparing the details in my head allowed me to feel ready for the challenge.With my teammates backing me up,I drew myself up to full height and expressed my point of view as best as I could. The results of the contest convinced me that my motto paid off—I entered the top 50,and two of my teammates placed in the top 10 due to their excellent performance.And through the strength of our teamwork,my friends and I became closer than ever.The more competition among friends,the firmer our friendship will be. From those eight days,it isn't the prize I valued the most but the breakthrough and the pure friendship I gained.It would be better to change my motor into "Brace yourself and fight together." I firmly hold the belief that this period of time will live in my memory forever and will shine even brighter when I look back.
