【作文示范】
try to be number one
i was not interested in english before. of course, i was not good at it, and i could hardly keep up with my classmates. but things changed after i met miss liu.
when i was a new student of the second senior middle school in xing cheng, miss liu taught us english. she was only four or five years older than we were. she was very lovely, looking more like a schoolgirl than an english teacher. i loved her and respected her very much. she looked on me as a little sister of her own. before long, we became good friends. and with her kind help, i liked english very much. i studied harder than before and little by little i made progress.
one saturday afternoon she asked me to go to her office and took out a new student's english-chinese dictionary. she put it in my hands and said, “i have another one; this i give to you. it will be useful to you. i hope you will study hard and try to be the first in your class!” i accepted it and left the office with gratitude.
i opened the dictionary; on the first page was written “try to be number one!” from then on, i always remembered the words. they were the very words that encouraged me every moment. whenever i read it, a strange feeling rose in my heart. i studied harder and harder, and made rapid progress in my lessons, especially in english. last year, in an english competition in our school, i won the first prize.
now i have come to realize we must believe that we have ability to overcome difficulties. we must try our best until we succeed.

【写法指要】
本文作者是怀着感激的心情写这篇文章的。文章写了英语老师帮她进步的过程。她对英语课的喜欢是由对老师的喜欢、爱慕而来的。她原本不喜欢英语，但她喜欢刘老师，老师成了她的姐姐。这样，她便对英语感兴趣了。老师让她当第一，她真的当了第一。其可谓“爱屋及乌”！
