And explain how you feel about the event
Bài mẫu:
I would love to tell you about one of the most important events in my life, which is my 18th birthday.
By that time, I had just graduated from high school and was a freshman. This was such a turning point in my life – I had to leave my hometown behind to move to a new city where I knew almost no one. I was kinda clueless about my future without family and closest friends by my side.
And there came my birthday. Luckily it was on weekends so I decided to return home to celebrate it with people I loved. That event indeed refreshed me. Once again, I was surrounded by my family and friends whom I had always missed from far away.
What happened was that we had meaningful conversations. In these conversations, I had a chance to express all my feelings, like how homesick I was, and how lonely I felt when I was in a new environment. My parents and friends encouraged me a lot by saying that I got their back anywhere anytime. They would always be there for me.
From that moment on, I realized that I had grown up with much love and support. I felt bigger and stronger. Thanks to that, it can be difficult to stay away from them, but I feel like I can stand on my own feet.
Từ vựng và các collocation trong bài
I’ve had my fair share of exhilarating and unforgettable moments, but the one that really stands out must be the first time I participated in a singing competition.
If my memory serves me right, it all took place in September of 2018. Out of the blue, my friend sent me an application form for a singing contest to be launched in the following month. I ran my eyes through the whole page without really registering the information, since the big headline in bold, fancy font “SINGING COMPETITION” already put me off.
I knew I had a certain knack for singing, but joining any kinds of competitive events has never been in my bucket list. My friend, however, spent days persuading me, insisting how the competition was small-scale and all chill. In the end, the passion to sing won my inherent stage fright. I crossed my fingers and applied.
The competition was held by my school for the students, so most of the contestants were people I was already acquaintances with. We had three rounds, each of which a performance in a different genre must be prepared. As I absolutely adored neo soul, RnB as well as musicals at the time, I decided to perform songs in these styles. The preparation process was, to be honest, mentally taxing.
Searching for appropriate songs that could show off my voice strengths, yet still resonated with my thoughts was hard, but directing the stage – as in deciding on what I should do or dress in, or if any choreography was needed, was even more challenging. Not only did I lack the experience, I also had performance anxiety. A lot of the times, I felt very let down by my own shortcomings and wanted to quit because it seemed like my efforts were in vain.
I am so glad that I pulled through it all, though, because the performances were really worth it. I believe I managed, in a very short span of time, to come up with what were possibly the best performances in my capability.
As I finished all the songs, I realized that while there were rooms for improvement, I was on cloud nine throughout and there was no remorse, just pride of what I achieved. I didn’t win any big prize, but I got so many fond memories and also the confidence to pursue my interests thanks to the competition. The event itself was so indelible that September and October becomes my favorite time of the year, since it always is a trip down the memory lane for me, and an especially precious one, too.
