When I was 13, I thought growing up meant being “cool”—wearing trendy clothes, hanging out with popular kids, and never asking adults for help. But an experience last year changed my mind.
It was a rainy Saturday afternoon. I was riding my bike home from school when I saw an old man 11. ______ on the side of the road. His umbrella had broken, and he looked 12. ______.

The Power of Small Steps
When I was 12, I wanted to learn to play the guitar. But every time I tried, my fingers hurt, and I kept making mistakes. I almost gave up. Then my dad said, “Growth is like climbing a mountain—you don’t jump to the top; you take one step at a time.” He helped me break my goal into small steps: practice 10 minutes a day, learn one chord (和弦) a week, and play a simple song after a month.

My Growth Story
Hi, I’m Li Hua, a 14-year-old student. Last year, I was shy and afraid to speak in public. During an English class, my teacher asked me to give a short speech about my hobby.

六、书面表达(参考范文)
Dear Tom,
I’m glad to hear from you! Growing up isn’t just about getting older—it’s about learning to be independent, taking responsibility for your actions, and caring for others.
Last year, I used to argue with my mom about my hobby (painting). I thought she didn’t understand me. But after talking calmly, we agreed I could paint for an hour after finishing homework. That taught me growth means solving problems with communication, not anger.
My advice: Face challenges bravely, and cherish people who support you. You’ll find your own answer to “growing up”!
Yours,
Li Hua
