最近才發現

最近才發現我放在網路上，國小時所寫的一篇暑假作業，竟然在批踢踢上引發熱烈討論！看討論內容不禁叫我啼笑皆非啊！ 下面是當時的作業：

Memory

Since childhood I experienced many things, Some made me angry, some made me cheerful, and there were also other things that made me regret or disappointed! But there was nothing like this one, because it was unforgettable to me.

When I was in the six-grade, I participated in the Asian Pacific cup Saxophone Competition. I had always played in a band before, so it was my first time to be a soloist on the stage and I felt nervous about it. For the competition, I especially chose a difficult sonata and I listened to this piece of many different players’ playing on the Internet.  Being the saxophone leader in my band for a long time, I thought I had to win the competition.

A sonata means a piece is played by an instrument with a piano. For that we actually need a pianist. But it is expensive to hire a pianist. However, my piece was too difficult for an elementary student to play, so I could not ask my friend to play it with me. In the end I decided to ask my music teacher to help me to record the piano part so that I could practice with the recording by myself. When I told her about the competition, she told me that she could help me to play at the competition and asked me to practice at her place. We started to rehearse after I had done my part well. Because the piece was very complicated, it was difficult to play together perfectly even we were both very familiar with our own parts. My teacher kept telling me how to play the rhythm correctly, where to play with great passion and emotion, and when to turn the music into softer part. Finally, I did it very well and I was satisfied with the recording we did in the end.
On the day of the competition, when I was playing on the stage, my sound was not with perfect resonance as usual. This was because I missed a part of the music. And for the mistake I was self-blamed until I finished my playing that day. I felt that I let my teacher down. So I did not have the mood to wait until the final announcement. In the end I got the second prize for only 0.5 point lower than the champion. I felt disappointed for days even I got the prize. And it becomes the most unforgettable experience in my life.

再見

今天是2010的最後一天！突然又變得非常冷！
約我一起去跨年的，很抱歉我不能一起去，因為爸媽不答應的！

昨天晚上，學長臨時找我參加這年終最後一天的新舞台表演。
中午，我沒吃午餐，就跟學長姐一起在學校的心舞台演出，
只有我一個七年級，因為學長說需要一個人吹高音Sax，於是我就來了！

其中一首是Time to say Goodbye，

我們即將告別的是2010這一年，
而我，要說再見的是我的童年……已經逝去的12歲……

消失的兩個6年，我們正邁向新的6年，
大湖的同學們，可別忘了我們的6年之約喔！
