When I began to learn English in Grade 5 in primary school, I had a great interest in English. And my English always ranked first in the exams. However, when I was in Grade 7, my English was not so good as before. Because I felt tired of English. I almost wanted to give it up. But later one person changed my attitude totally.
One day, I happened to meet my first English teacher, Miss Liu, who had always thought highly of me. She asked me how I got along with my English. All at once I didn’t know how to answer her. I was afraid that I would let her down if I told her the truth. At that moment, what I could do was to hang my head. I felt so embarrassed. But Miss Liu seemed to have known everything. She said to me patiently, “Don’t wait for what you want to come to you. Go after it. Everyone has ever failed before. A successful person can succeed because of his persistence.” She continued, “You should pluck up your courage and have another try. Don’t be afraid of difficulties. Instead, you ought to challenge them. Only in this way can you succeed. You will never fail. I believe in you.” Hearing these, I couldn’t help crying. I promised Miss Liu that I would try my best and never give up whatever difficulties I might meet with.
Now, I have made it. In my Senior One, my English is still keeping the first. And I won’t have my English be left behind once again.
It was Miss Liu who encouraged me to rebuild my confidence. She has taught me a lesson, which I will keep in my mind forever.

当我从小学5年级开始学英语时，我对英语产生了浓厚的兴趣。而且我的英语总是在考试中名列第一。然而，当我在7年级时，我的英语不如以前好了。因为我厌倦了英语。我几乎想放弃它。但后来一个人完全改变了我的态度。
有一天，我碰巧遇到了我的第一位英语老师，刘小姐，她一向对我评价很高。她问我是怎样和我的英语相处的。突然我不知道该怎么回答她。如果我告诉她真相，我担心我会让她失望的。在那一刻，我所能做的就是垂下我的头。我感到很尴尬。但是刘小姐好像什么都知道。她耐心地对我说：“不要等你想找你。”。追求它。每个人以前都失败过。一个成功的人之所以能成功，是因为他坚持不懈，“她继续说，”你应该鼓起勇气，再试一次。不要害怕困难。相反，你应该挑战他们。只有这样你才能成功。你永远不会失败。我相信你，“听到这些，我忍不住哭了。”。我答应刘小姐，我会尽我最大的努力，决不放弃任何我可能遇到的困难。
现在，我做到了。在我的大一，我的英语仍然保持第一。我不会让我的英语再次被落下。
是刘小姐鼓励我重建信心。她给了我一个教训，我将永远牢记在心。
