my thoughts for spelling bee

on thursday, the eighteeneh of december, in suis—wanyuan, we had spelling bee final competiti-on! we went to the hall to hold the competition because it was very important that everyone in grad-e six must go to the hall to watch the competition.

at half past ten a.m., we were holding the competition. it was very exciting. the all eighteen contes-tants were on the stage of the hall. miss louise and mr rex were sitting on the chair and giving the s-pelling bee words to contestants to spell. we were all very excited but also very nervous because we were so afraid to leave the competition during the earlier stage.

i was number eleven. so i had some time to prepare. when number ten finished, my heart began to beat very quickly. one of the rules is: each contestant has only thrity seconds to spell the word. w-hen i had no idea of the words that the teacher had given tome, i used the little spare time to guess.‘cushion!’suddenly, miss louise said. i was shocked when i heard this word and i was afraid i spelt it in the wrong way. i did not want to waste any time given, and i did not care any mistakes. so i tho-ught about the word for one second and then i spoke out my mind loudly:‘c-u-s-h-i-o-n’. and t-hen miss louise siad‘correct!’everyone in 6c cheered at me. i was also very excited because i pass-ed the first turn of spelling bee!

...

but the sad story happened at last. i lost the competition because of the word‘convenience’! i w-as very sad and diappointed when i went down the stage and then i cried. i could have spelt the wor-d but i was so careless that i missed an‘n’. miss louise gave me another chance, and then i spelt it again. but miss apple rang the bell while i was still spelling the word. ringing the bell means this con-testant needs to leave the competition. when miss louise and mr rex said i shouid leave the compet-ition, i was shocked, miss dolly was shocked, miss daphne was shocked, and all of my classmates were shocked, too! i felt so sorry to them and it was all my mistake ... finally, i only got the ninth positi-on! oh no! i think i could at least in top three ...

this is the first time for me to join the spelling bee final competition but i should not have made s-uch very little mistakes. also here, i want to say thank you to miss dolly, miss daphne and all of my classmates. thank you for giving me the chance, thank you for your encouragement, and thank you f-or you for the trust! without your support, i could not have gone thus far!

maybe i let you disappointed because of my behavior. i did not do well in the competition. sorry for that! if you have any advice, please tell me. maybe i can correct the mistakes. i hope i can do better next year!

thank you very much!
