Essay 4 -A memorable day in my life-

A memorable day in my life is when I was 3rd grade in my junior high school. There was a big event.It was English recitation contest. It held in October twenty-sixth, 2002. An English teacher chose three or four people to entry this contest. I had joined it twice. Therefore, it was the third time if I joined. I hesitated about the joining　because I had a high school examination in this year, I was very busy to study many subjects. However, a friend of mine who also joined this contest twice said to me that we should participate in it to proud of our activity. Then I decided to join it. Finally, the representatives are only 2, me and my friend. The limited time was 5 minutes. We practiced again and again. The day, October twenty-sixth, finally came. There were about 8 groups from other towns or cities. I was a little nervous, but I had a confidence to beat them. I believed myself till the end of the presentation. As the result, we got second price. We were very happy. After that, we presented our recitation at a school festival in fall. Then I had never stood on the stage in such a situation. Thanks to the contest, I could have such wonderful times. Therefore, the day is my memorable day.
