Hello,everyone!My name is Peter.As a student,my parents often ask me to learn new things at a young age.However,I think this is not right.
Take myself as an example,I started playing basketball when I was 20.My friend Jack likes sports very much and he often asked me to take him to watch basketball games.Then I fell in love with this sport.And （B） _______ watching so many games,I wanted to try learning it!.
To tell the truth,it was the most difficult sport for me.There was so much to learn.For example,I needed to learn how to （A） pass the ball.It was not easy for me to learn it well,（C）______I never gave up （放弃） .Finally I did it,though I spent a really long time.
Learning to play basketball has also helped me be a better English learner in some way.I\’m not stupid（愚笨的）—I just need more time to learn and practice.I think some students are like this too— they might need a few more days of practice.
It\’s good to learn new things,whether it is easy or difficult.It won\’t be late to start anything at an y time!
