I am not a brave girl, I am afraid of losing face in front of my friends and parents, so I always let the chance go and refuse to try. Once, I have a chance to take a performance in the Christmas show, but thinking¹ about if I performed badly, all my friends would laugh at me, so I gave up the chance. But now, I am tired of letting so many chances to go, I want to try, after seeing my friends take all the chances to try, I am not going to be the outsider all the time, I want to live my own life and make some differences. People say failure² is not terrible, the unforgettable³ thing are to lose the courage⁴ to try and then making all kinds of excuses. Let’s take out our courage and do what we want to do.

我不是一个勇敢的女孩，我害怕在朋友很父母面前丢脸，因此我总是让几乎溜走，拒绝去尝试。曾经，我有机会在圣诞节目上表演，但是一想到如果我表演不好，所有的朋友都会取笑我，所以我放弃了机会。但是现在，我厌倦了让那么多的机会溜走，我想要尝试，在看了那么多的朋友抓住所有的机会尝试以后，我不准备再当个局外人，我想要活出自己的生活，有所作为。人们说失败并不可怕，失去勇气尝试, 不断找各种借口才是不可原谅的。让我们拿出勇气，做自己想做的吧。
