Today, I joined a running race. It was a famous race and many athletes in China came to join it. I was one of the athletes too and I felt a bit nervous. Although I was a good runner, the other athletes were good at running too. I hoped that I could get a good result in the race.

I ran as quickly as I could when the race started. Two athletes were in front of me. They looked so strong that they would be the winner. I wanted to get the champion so I ran more quickly.

Finally, the two athletes were tired because they ran too fast at the beginning. I was not so exhausted because I did not use all the energy. I won at the end. The teacher there gave me a bunch of flowers and a golden cup. I was excited and glad. Suddenly, I heard a loud voice coming from the golden cup.

It was just a dream. I woke up quickly and brushed my teeth. I had to come to the race today. I thought I would win surely like in the dream. So, I didn’t even practice before the race.

While the other athletes were running as fast as they could, I moved slowly. I hoped I would win. Surely, I failed. I thought I was so stupid. It was just a dream and I had to run quickly to win. There’s no free lunch in the world.
