I composed a story about an event that was very special to me.After editing my words for what seemed like a million times， I got the courage to submit it to a magazine I had subscribed to for years.I even got brave enough to write several stories and send them to other publications.Then I was waiting for the reply with such an anxious heart that I almost checked my e-mail inbox every day. 　　Two months later，there in my e-mail inbox was an offer from the magazine I had sent my first story to.I couldn’t believe it！ Finally， there was a contract for me， and someone was willing to pay me for the use of my story.Imagine my excitement when， a couple of days later， another offer arrived by e-mail from a major book company！ It’s hard to believe that a few simple words of advice and encouragement would lead me to achieving what I’d longed for since I was a kid.I am now comfortable referring to myself as an author. 2 / 3 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Section Ⅳ　Writing about a sporting moment Ⅰ.完形填空 　　Chris

desk and created books from construction paper.Using the limited vocabulary of an eight-year-old， I wrote stories and dreamed of one day becoming an author.My second-grade teacher urged my parents to nurture this desire， but they didn’t take my aspiration seriously. 　　Through adulthood， the desire to write remained.The dream never died but there were more certain ways to generate income， so I was steered in different directions.None of the jobs I held afforded me the opportunity to write， and raising two daughters gave me little free time to pursue becoming an author.However， I held onto my childhood dream. 　　I co-authored a local history book and wrote some of the curriculum for our elementary school’s puppet ministry， but I wanted to know my work was good enough that someone would pay for it.It wasn’t about the monetary compensation； it was more about the emotional reward it would bring if someone said， “Your story is good enough for us to pay you to publish it.” 　　At the age of fifty-eight， I wrote some stories and shared them on social media.The stories garnered quite a few likes， but it never crossed my mind as I approached my senior years that writing could be a career for me. 　　Last January， a friend from high school passed away.And I met another friend at the funeral. “I like reading your stories.You need to keep writing，” she said.She had been reading the stories I shared on social media and had always commented with encouraging words.But no one had ever spoken these words to me.I had never even spoken these words out loud to myself. 　　Thinking about our recently departed classmate， I wondered how many of her dreams were left unfulfilled when she departed this Earth.Deep inside， I knew I still wanted to be an author.I wanted to follow my friend’s advice.I wanted to write.I needed to write. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 　　Then I went home that day and decided to take action immediately.
