My Hobby
My hobby is fishing. I am fond of going fishing, for it is both interesting and iastructive-It tempers my willpower. Last Sunday I went fishing with my friend, He Ping. We started at daybreak. After three hours' cycling, we arrived at the outskirts of Hefei and came to a stream. The water is clear and clean. One can see fish swimming. The meadow sprinkled with buttercups slopes to the stream. It is a good place for fishing.
In a few minutes everything was ready. Putting the bait of earthworms on the hook, dropping the hue into the strum, we sat there fishing with rod in hand. An hour passed. I did not catch a single fish. I lifted the fishing rod time and again. Time and again I was disappointed. There was no fish on the hook. On the other side of the stream, He Ping had caught several fish, one of which was very big.
"How comes it that you catch fish casily while it is so difficult for me?" I asked.
"it's easy. Only you need Io be patient." He Ping answered. "Make sure that you lift the fishing rod when the whole flat has sunk. I'm sure a fish will greet you on the hook."
After a while the floats were swinging. I kept my breath and waked. The floats became still again. "Come on my hook, dear fish." I was saying to myself. In a moment the floats swang again and then sank abruptly, Just at that moment I lifted my fishing rod. To my delight I caught a fish. Grlnning, I took it off the hook.
This gave me a great revelation(啓示):Stamina(毅力) is what we need to achieve success. And it is more important to young people who usually lack it.
我的業餘愛好
我的業餘愛好是釣魚。它不僅有趣，且有意義——它磨煉我的意志。
上星期天，我和朋友何平去釣魚。黎明時動身，騎了3小時腳踏車後，來到達合肥郊區的一條小溪邊。溪水又清又凈，能看見魚在水裏遊。撤滿草茛的草地傾斜著伸向小漠。那是個釣魚的好地方。
幾分鍾後，一切備妥。把釣餌魚蟲放在鉤上，並將直線垂入溪中，手握釣竿等在那兒垂釣。1小時過去了，我一條魚也沒釣著，不時地提起釣竿，一次又一次地失望，無魚上鉤。而溪對面何平已釣了好幾條魚，其中還有1條是大魚呢。
“怎麽你釣魚那麽容易，而對我卻那麽難?”我問道。
“這並不難。隻是需要耐心。”何平答道：“一定要等浮子全沉下後再舉起釣竿，魚就在鉤上歡迎你了。”
過了一會兒，浮子在晃動。我屏住氣在等待，浮子又不動了。“親愛的魚兒，快上鉤。”我自言自語。一會兒，浮子又動了，接著突然下沉。正在此時，我舉起了釣芊。我喜出望外地釣到了一條魚，笑咪咪地把魚取下了鉤。
這件事給了我極大的啓示：成功需要毅力。過對缺乏毅力的年輕人更為重要。
