第一次失败

听到班主任念考试排名时，我总分只排第四名，当时我非常难过。以往我每次考试都得第一名，从没试过第二名，可这次却第四名，我好伤心啊!

I was very sad to hear that when the head teacher read the exam ranking, I only ranked fourth in the total score. In the past, I got the first place in every exam, but I never got the second place, but this time I got the fourth place. I'm so sad!

这次成绩不理想主要在于我自己。这段时间，我没有认真学习，没有好好复习，就想考出好成绩的，谁知却比以往退步了，这使我惊觉。原来学习也是如逆水行舟，不进则退。

The main reason for this unsatisfactory result is myself. In this period of time, I didn't study hard, didn't review well, and wanted to get a good result in the exam, but I fell back than before, which surprised me. It turns out that learning is like sailing against the current.

没考好，妈妈也很伤心。我不灰心，相信努力点就能考好。我为此感到不应该生气，应该认真学习，争取每次考试都第一名，我要认真学习，用学习成绩来报答父母和老师，我要行动起来。

My mother was very sad because she didn't do well in the exam. I don't lose heart. I believe that I can do well if I work hard. I don't feel angry about this. I should study hard and strive for the first place in every exam. I should study hard and repay my parents and teachers with my study results. I should act.

这次我失败了，但我不能灰心，所谓失败乃成功之母嘛!

I failed this time, but I can't lose heart. Failure is the mother of success!
