Everyone has many first times, some good and some bad. We have to find experience from the good ones and learn lessons from the bad ones. Today, I will talk about one of my first times.

Three years ago today, I gathered enough courage to write an essay and send it to the publisher, and I was so excited that I couldn't sleep every day during the six days I waited anxiously. The sun was just smiling on the seventh day, and I couldn't wait to get to the post office, but what I received was a return!

Retracted! These two words echoed in my mind for a long time, and I made up my mind: no matter what, I would let my essay be known to all of China!

From that day on, I insisted on reading and writing my essays every day and sending them in January. Although I had a steady stream of returns, I realized that my essays had risen to another level!

After that day, I sent another essay with anxiety, but when I went to the post office six days later, what I received was not a return, but a fee! It wasn't much, but it was the result of my hard work! Soon after, I found my essay in the Dahe Newspaper, which was the first time I saw my own work printed in a newspaper. Although I didn't let all of China know about my essay, it was only a matter of time. I believe that soon my work will be known to the whole country, and even the whole world! As long as I have faith, patience and determination, no hardship will be hard for me!

Life is made up of thousands of firsts, and it is these thousands of firsts that make up a perfect life!

Article 2: Unforgettable first essay

There are many "firsts" in life, the first time I walked to make me laugh; the first time I went on stage to perform to make me forget; the first time I walked at night is I was terrified ...... but I still like the Unforgettable first time, it is like the most shining star in the sky, forever engraved in my heart; like a box of sugar in the sweetest grain, put into the mouth, let me feel sweet; like the most beautiful seashells on the beach, picked up in the palm of the hand, glorious; like the most beautiful scenery, let a person pleasing to the eye.

My unforgettable first time was at noon one day, the exact time do not remember. That day at noon, twelve o'clock, my father had not yet come home to fry, I was already hungry skin and bones. I complained in my heart to: starve me to death, why not come back, do not let me eat is it! Thinking of this, I sat on the sofa, crossed my legs, beeped, put my hands on my shoulders and sulked. In a flash, a thought flashed through my mind: Dad didn't come back, why don't I stir-fry my own food for once? Let dad also taste my fried food, he will definitely be full of praise. So I went to the kitchen and put on my scarf like dad. I looked in the mirror and saw that I looked like a little chef! I look like a little chef! I went back to the kitchen with the look of a warrior returning home in triumph on my face. At the beginning, I encountered a problem: how to turn on the liquefied petroleum gas? What the heck, let's use the induction cooker! I turned on the induction cooker. I knew I was right - I knew I hadn't watched all those cooking programs for nothing, and as the saying goes: 'A soldier's army is a soldier's army' is true! I poured the oil into a pan, then turned on the heat to get it hot. I then washed and chopped the cabbage at the sink. Just as these things were done, the oil in the pot splashed out like ants on a hot pan. I was afraid that the oil would splash on me, so I threw it into the pot from a distance, and the oil in the pot quieted down and stopped splashing, and I picked up the spatula and kept shoveling, but the frying time was a little too long, and the cabbage turned yellow, so I hurriedly put salt and monosodium glutamate (MSG) in it, and turned down the fire, and then after a while, the salt and the MSG melted, and the cabbage got better too, but it was just a little bit burnt. Just in time, my dad came back, he tasted it and said, "It's so delicious!" I happily bowed my head and snickered.

With the passage of time, I grew up, whenever I think of that incident will always open a smile, remembering that dad's words, let me move a lot, that dish is not fragrant, just the father's child's comfort and love for the child is fragrant . The food didn't smell good, but the father's relief and love for the child was fragrant.

As the saying goes, "Everything is difficult at the beginning." Anyone will have the first time, the first time to cook, the first time to fry, the first time to wash dishes ......

But the most unforgettable first time for me is the first time to fry bean sprouts.

"You're so big, and you still don't know how to do housework." Mom said this to me again.

I thought, "I must do housework. To share some chores for my mom, and to fight for myself. But what to do? It just so happens that I learned to fry bean sprouts in labor class today, so why don't we fry bean sprouts today? So I said to my mom, "Mom, I'm going to stir-fry bean sprouts today." Mom happily agreed.

I prepared the materials as the labor book said: mung bean sprouts, oil, green onion, chili pepper, because I usually don't like to eat chili pepper, so I replaced the chili pepper with peppercorns, in addition to a little salt. Before copying, I first rinsed the mung bean sprouts, then filtered the water dry, and cut the green onions into small sections. Since I usually do not cut vegetables. So the green onion is not cut well, so I asked my mother to give me a demonstration, only to see my mother put the green onion neatly, and then cut it hard and evenly, doing it really skillfully. When I was ready, I cut the green onions again just like my mom did, and it was very effective. Everything is ready, I put on the pot, boil until hot, pour in the oil, oil into the pot, I was afraid of scalding, I was very careful, waiting for the oil bubbles disappeared, I put in the peppercorns and a little salt. When I smelled the fragrance of the pepper, I poured in the bean sprouts, and quickly stir-fried, until the bean sprouts are cooked but not soft, add a little salt, take a sniff, ah! Aroma! This is really a plate of crispy, fresh, colorful dishes.

Mom saw this and happily gave me a thumbs up and praised me: "Our daughter has grown up and can help her mother." I then said, "This work is nothing, I will help my mom with more chores in the future!"

Part II: The First Time I Cooked Vegetables[400 Words]

Today, I was playing happily outside when suddenly my mother called me home. I asked, "Mom, what are you calling me for?" Mom said mysteriously, "You'll find out later." Confused, I followed my mom into the kitchen, and it turned out that she was going to teach me how to cook. I was more than happy to do so and let my mom teach me how to cook lotus root first.

I first washed the lotus root, then peeled the skin off the lotus root, then washed the peeled lotus root, and then began to peel the lotus root into thin slices. Don't look at the knife is usually in the hands of the mother like a docile sheep, but to my hands have become mischievous up, a moment to jump to this, a moment to jump to that. Ah! That was close! The knife almost cut into my hand. As soon as my mom heard the commotion in the kitchen, she came over to watch. As soon as she saw the knife almost cut my hand, she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Haha, it's very difficult, why don't you let me help you cut?" I said firmly, "No!" Mom said, "Then let me guide you." I said, "Okay." Under my mom's guidance, I had a hard time cutting the lotus root. Then, it started to burn. Under my mom's instruction, I first poured oil into the pot, waited for the oil to get hot, then poured the lotus root slices into the pot and stir-fried them with a spatula for a while. Then, cover the pot with a lid. After a few minutes, I uncovered the pot, poured on the soy sauce, put in the monosodium glutamate, and it was finally out of the pot. My mom tasted it first and threw up, and I immediately tasted it and threw up too. That's when I remembered I forgot to put in the salt!

Episode 3: The First Time I Cooked Dumplings[400 Words]

Today, my mom and I were shopping at the supermarket. I found that there was a place to try out the dumplings, and when I got closer, it turned out to be "Wan Chai Pier Dumplings". Driven by curiosity, I couldn't help but try one. I couldn't help but try one! It tasted really good. So I asked my mom to buy me a pack. However, my mom and dad were often away from home, and I didn't know how to cook, so what should I do? There, ask mom for advice!

Finally, it was the weekend, and I asked my mom to sincerely teach me how to cook dumplings (hehehe...I can cook them myself when mom is not at home). So my mom became my teacher. She started to teach me how to cook dumplings step by step: first, she first put two big bowls of water into the pot and put the lid on it, and when the smoke came out from the top, it meant that the water had already boiled. Then pour all the dumplings into the pot and put the lid on, waiting for the water to boil. Remember to push the dumplings after the first boil to prevent them from sticking to the pan. Push gently, if you push hard, you will break the skin of the dumplings. This time you can add cold water. Because frozen dumplings are particularly difficult to cook, so add water at least three times. If the dumplings are still not cooked after three rounds, keep adding water until the dumplings are cooked. "By the way, how can you tell if the dumplings are cooked or not?" I couldn't help but ask my mom. Mom patiently told me, "Cooked dumplings are crystal clear, while undercooked dumplings will be a little white in color." Oh! So it's so simple!

I followed my mom's instructions step by step. Not long after, a plate of colorful and fragrant dumplings came out of the pot. I tasted my own dumplings, and even though they tasted very ordinary, they were as good as anything I've ever tasted.

It's a good thing I don't have to go hungry when my mom's not home anymore. The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you cook the dumplings in a safe manner! Don't burn yourself.

Part 4: The first time I learned Latin dance [400 words]

I'm in the third grade, but I've never danced Latin dance. Every Saturday this semester I went to school to learn Latin dance.

The first time I learned to dance, I had no idea where it was, only that it was on the fifth floor of the school. When I walked there and was looking around, I just happened to meet my classmate who pulled me to the place where I was learning. It was a bit hot there, and some of my classmates had already taken off their outerwear. After a while the class started. Since I hadn't studied before, I tried my best to imitate others and follow their footsteps. I was like a flea, walking over one moment and jumping over the other, not knowing what I was jumping at all. I felt so stupid. But it wasn't long before I made some headway, my feet weren't as unruly as they had been earlier. I could do some simple movements alone, such as walking back and forth, walking left and right, slowly turning in a circle, and kicking my legs. Gradually I became more confident and felt that dancing was not that difficult and that I could get fit. Because by then I was sweating all over. Later, the teacher put a few of us who had not learned before in addition to stay and teach another five minutes, in this five minutes, I made rapid progress, I feel that the content of this lesson has been memorized.

Although it was only a short lesson, he let me know a lot of knowledge about dancing. I love dancing, and I'm going to learn to dance well.

Episode 5: The First Time I Took a Cable Car[400 words]

Today, my family went to the Yongquan Temple on Drum Mountain to worship the Buddha, because the mountain is very high and it takes a long time for a person to walk, so my father decided wisely that we should take a cable car to go up the mountain to worship the Buddha!

Dad bought his ticket quickly and the three of us waited excitedly for the cable car to arrive. The crowd was moving slowly, and we were about to go up, I pressed my heart nervous and happy, quickly jumped on the cable car, and then look at my father and mother, they also followed me up, but still I am the worst, I sat in the middle of the moment, the two of them squeezed one left and one right, and I almost became a sandwich cake.

Even though we were already on the cable car, we were still very happy. We looked to the left and then to the right. Cowardly mom heard this, then let out a scream, this scream, not only my father and I glared at her, behind the people are also inexplicably looking at her, so that the mother was very embarrassed. After just a "storm", we will be much more peaceful, although still like a few excited monkeys, but also not greatly shaking.

I looked down from the left and found a lot of beautiful red houses on the left side, and my mom told me it was a villa complex. I looked further to the right and saw a few very tall, upright skyscrapers, presumably office buildings.

In this way, looking at the many sights, the time passed quickly. Happy times are always so short, we finally reached the top of Drum Mountain. Leaving the cable car, what awaited us was a happy trip to Gushan.

Part 3: Shopping for Book Fair[400 words]

"Let's go to the book fair!" My mom suddenly said to me one day. "Yeah! Let's go at 4pm." I jumped out of my homework pile at once. Poor me, my summer vacation was even busier than usual with elementary school preparations, and being able to go to a book fair was like a blessing in disguise, just the thing I needed to relax.

Dad drove us to the book fair. "Wow! There are so many people! Let's get inside!" I couldn't wait. As soon as I got inside, I ran towards the Translation Press. I found the Nobel Prize for Literature Classics, and I found The Old Man and the Sea to flip through ...... The books we had bought filled the book bag I had brought with me in no time.

The book bag was getting fuller and fuller, but our stomachs were getting deflated. "There's a little KFC up ahead, go check it out!" Cousin said. We heard that and rushed over, bought a set meal and sat on the floor to eat. I suddenly had an idea: "We can use books as stools for that!" "Good idea!" So we sat on the books and ate.

After we finished eating, we continued on. My "eyes of fire" saw my favorite "Dinosaur Encyclopedia", so I immediately sat on the pile of books and read. Twenty minutes passed, but mom still did not come to call me. I thought something was wrong, so I put down the book and went to look for my mom. But there was nothing. I had to go back and read again. After another ten minutes, I still didn't hear my mom come to call me. I remembered that last time my mom said that if I got lost, I should borrow someone else's cell phone to call my mom's cell phone. So I found an uncle, asked him to borrow a cell phone, and called. "Zero zero zero ......" was the ringtone of my mom's cell phone! I followed the sound and saw my mom, who was squeezed in the crowd!

"It's 9:30, time to go home!" Mom urged me. I looked back at the book fair, which I'd only gotten a quarter of the way through in five hours, and walked into the car to go home.

The opening of the Shanghai Book Fair has helped to increase the amount of reading we do, and I'll be back for the next one!

Just after the car, far away from seeing the Qinghai Lake. The blue water of the lake is as blue as if it could be simple blue ink, the beauty of a single pure. The lake and the sky mingled, embracing the water and the sky, one color, people can't tell whether the water is holding the sky or the sky lined with water. Walking on the path leading to Qinghai Lake, smelling the unique salty-sweet smell of lake water, so come to its side, clear lake water cleansing the frantic heart. Along the lakeside bridge continue to walk forward, suddenly saw a piece of the distance and a piece of blooming rapeseed fields, the original Qinghai Lake and give people another kind of beauty. Sprinkled in the distance on the pearl-like cows and sheep, with a bright golden sea of rapeseed flowers, the style of Qinghai Lake embraced the blue sky, dragonflies and butterflies are more colorful this scenery. He then the heavens, it rained a little rain, I was not destroyed by the rain mood, but felt that the rain came at the right time, it added a touch of Qinghai Lake in the mist to see the flowers in the water looking at the moon of the misty beauty, just as I was intoxicated in this beautiful scenery, who knows that the rain said to stop on the stop. After the rain, Qinghai Lake looks more and more beautiful, a gorgeous rainbow in the sky, the rainbow bridge like a palette, the pen, casual ink will be sketched out for the eye of Qinghai Lake.
