i was young and flesh, jush approaching fifteen. i thought i could do many things. in fact, i had never tried any of them, but i had read about them in books. one day i heard my teacher praising me to my mother. i felt quite flattered. however, on second thoughts, wasn't italented? indeed, ithought i could manage to do everything, "where there is a will, there is a way!" was my motto.

　　how to prove it? a nice idea came into my mind; that was to make a pudding. after i making up my mind, i began the work. er…how to start? yes, i remembered what i read in a magazine. some flour, some sugar, severas eggs, two apples. these were what i meeded first i heated some water. then i began to mix the flour with some water in a basin. when i finished this task, i whittled the apples into very small piedes. finally i mixed everything together.

　　the water was boiling. i put the basin into the water. i felt tired but very happy. i sat there thinking about the delicious pudding, which made my mouth water. ten minutes passed, and it hadn't been ready. so i went to the living-room to watch my favorite cartoons. i smelt something burnt before i remembered i had steamed a pudding. oh, my first pudding!

　　suddenly, i felt my self-confidence had gone. i wasn't able to do everything. i had a lot to learn. this experience did me good greatly.
