It was Orientation Day at the senior high school. New students walked onto the campus, their eyes filled with eagerness and a touch of nervousness. The campus was neat and impressive, with excellent facilities. There were posters everywhere advertising various clubs and activities.
One student, named Lily, was particularly curious about all the new things around her. As she explored the campus, she saw a poster for the drama club. The idea of being on stage excited her, but she also had butterflies in her stomach. She had never acted before and was afraid of failure.
At the same time, another student, Tom, was looking at the poster for the badminton team. He loved badminton but wasn't confident in his skills. He wondered if he should apply or if he would just make a fool of himself.
In the gym, a band was practicing. The sound was so loud that it made some students panic. But others stood there, enjoying the moment. Lily and Tom both thought about joining different clubs but were hesitant.
As they walked further, they saw a group of students arguing about a topic for the debate club. The topic was sharp and engaging. Lily was tempted to join but was frightened of not being able to keep up. Tom, too, was intimidated by the thought of having to speak in public.
However, they soon realized that they couldn't let fear hold them back. They remembered a quote they had read in a journal by a famous author: "The only failure is not trying." With newfound confidence, Lily decided to go all out and join the drama club. Tom applied to the badminton team.
Over the next few weeks, they faced many challenges. Lily struggled to memorise her lines and was nervous before every performance. Tom had a hard time keeping up with the more experienced players on the badminton team. But they didn't give up.
In the school's photography club, students were organising a collection of pictures. There were beautiful shots of rainbows, insects, and even a picture of a dolphin from a field trip. Lily and Tom realized that everyone had their own talents and interests.
The school also had a science club that investigated dinosaurs and various other topics. Students in this club were intelligent and always eager to learn more. Lily and Tom were inspired by their dedication.
As the semester went on, Lily and Tom improved a lot. They learned that it was important to participate and not be afraid of failure. They understood that every experience was an opportunity to learn and grow.
At the end of the year, there were awards for outstanding students. Lily and Tom didn't win any major awards, but they didn't care. They had gained so much more than a trophy. They had gained confidence, new friends, and valuable experiences.
In conclusion, whether it's drama, badminton, or any other activity, the important thing is to participate. Don't be afraid of failure. Take a deep breath, calm your nerves, and go forward. Try new things and explore your inner potential. Because in the end, it's not about winning or losing, but about the journey and the courage to take part.
译文如下：
那是高中的迎新日。新生们走进校园，他们的眼中充满渴望，也带着一丝紧张。校园整洁且令人印象深刻，举动步伐优秀。到处都张贴着海报，宣扬着各种社团和活动。
有个学生叫莉莉，她对周围的统统新事物都特殊好奇。当她探索校园时，看到了戏剧社的海报。登上舞台的想法让她愉快，但她心里也七上八下的。她从未演过戏，害怕失落败。
与此同时，另一个学生汤姆正在看羽毛球队的海报。他热爱羽毛球，但对自己的球技没有信心。他在犹豫是否该当报名，担心自己会出丑。
在体育馆里，一支乐队正在排练。声音很大，让一些学生错愕失落措。但也有一些学生站在那里，享受着这一刻。莉莉和汤姆都考虑加入不同的社团，但又犹豫未定。
他们连续往前走，看到一群学生在为辩论社的一个尖锐而引人入胜的话题辩论。莉莉很想加入，但又害怕跟不上。汤姆也被在"大众年夜众面前发言的想法吓住了。
然而，他们很快意识到不能让恐怖阻碍自己。他们想起在一本杂志上看到的一位著名作家的一句话：“唯一的失落败便是不去考试测验。” 带着新建立的信心，莉莉决定全力以赴，加入戏剧社。汤姆报名参加了羽毛球队。
在接下来的几周里，他们面临许多寻衅。莉莉努力记住自己的台词，每次演出前都很紧张。汤姆在跟上羽毛球队里更有履历的队员方面碰着了困难。但他们没有放弃。
在学校的拍照社里，学生们正在组织一次照片网络活动。有俏丽的彩虹、昆虫的照片，乃至还有一张在实地稽核时拍的海豚的照片。莉莉和汤姆意识到每个人都有自己的才能和兴趣。
学校还有一个科学社团，研究恐龙和各种其他主题。这个社团的学生很聪明，总是渴望学习更多知识。莉莉和汤姆被他们的奉献精神所勉励。
随着学期的推进，莉莉和汤姆进步了很多。他们认识到参与很主要，不症结怕失落败。他们明白每一次经历都是一个学习和发展的机会。
在年底，有颁发给精良学生的奖项。莉莉和汤姆没有赢得任何重大奖项，但他们并不在乎。他们得到的远比一个奖杯多得多。他们得到了自傲、新朋友和宝贵的经历。
总之，无论是戏剧、羽毛球还是其他任何活动，主要的是参与。不症结怕失落败。深呼吸，沉着你的神经，然后向前迈进。考试测验新事物，探索你的内在潜力。由于终极，主要的不是输赢，而是这个过程以及勇于参与的勇气。
