The summer is scorching.
In midsummer, a hint of fragrance flows through the hot air, and the sun's rays shine on the big trees, sparkling like golden waves.
At this moment, I hold the "Gold Award" certificate, my face beaming with a happy smile. I know that it is because of the country's "Double Reduction" policy that I have the opportunity to participate in this recitation competition.
One day, the homeroom teacher called me into the office and kindly said to me, "Now that the Double Reduction policy has been implemented, you will have more time after class. Isn't recitation your strength and interest? There is a competition now, and I have recommended you to participate. You must work hard!"
I happily accepted this "task" and prepared to showcase my skills.
Holding the manuscript, at this moment, cicadas and birds chirp outside the window. Sitting at the desk, ideas flow like a fountain, and I feel many inspirations waiting to be written down in my mind. I pick up the pen and immerse myself in the ocean of the "manuscript." Shasha—shasha. The only sound in the entire room is my pen on the paper, as if the cicadas and birds outside are cheering me on!
Hmm, very good. Looking at this completed manuscript, I really can't help but praise it!
I began to practice recitation, silently saying in my heart:
"Oh, motherland, how beautiful you are..."
I infused my boundless love for the motherland into the recitation, unconsciously adding gestures and expressions. When reciting to the climax, based on my years of recitation experience, I felt that the ground beneath me was no longer the floor, but rather I was standing in the embrace of the motherland.
A few weeks later, the recitation competition took place as scheduled.
The crowd was bustling, and the hot air seemed to suffocate me.
"Number 014! Number 014! It's your turn, hurry up and get on stage!" the caller shouted loudly.
Standing on stage, the spotlight shone on me. I took a deep breath, adjusted my state, and began!
I recited, immersed in the tide of recitation, unable to extricate myself.
Reciting, reciting. Because I poured my heart and soul into it, tears of excitement flowed.
After finishing, the audience stood up, and applause thundered.
In the wave of the "Double Reduction" policy, by making reasonable use of time and cultivating interests, it truly promotes comprehensive development.
The sun is still blazing.
This competition cultivated our hobbies and brought us our own success.
