疯狂英语易背作文 50.The Spring Sports Meeting

（单词翻译）

Our school usually holds a spring sports meeting each year. The spring sports meet this year was held last Friday. Many students took an active part in it. So did I. The sports meet began at 8 o’clock. After the opening, all kinds of races, both field events and track¹ events, started one after another. I took part in the 1,500-meter race. I felt a little nervous before the contest began. Because it was the first time that I had run at a school sports meet. My roommates stood around me, encouraging me. “Come on! You are the winner of our grade in the long-distance competition last time. Be brave!” On hearing the shot² of the starting gun, I shot from the starting point. I ran at a medium speed in the beginning because there was a long way to go and I had to maintain³ my strength. As soon as there were only 400 meters left, I began to quicken⁴ my speed. I caught up with other runners soon and won first place in the end. There was only one step between the second place and me! My classmates ran to me, shouting and saying, “Congratulations!” I was very excited. It was also the last time for me to complete in my senior⁵ high school, for I would finish my high school in two months. I will never forget it.
