Life is not easy, so I'd like to say, "Whatever happens, believe in yourself." When I was a young boy, I was so shy that I was afraid to talk to anyone. My classmates often laughed at me. I was sad and could do nothing.

Later, something happened. and it changed my life. It was a speech competition(比赛).

My mother encouraged (鼓励) me to take part in it. What a terrible idea! It meant I had to speak before all the teachers and students of my school!

"Come on, boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to win." Then mother and I talked about many different topics. At last I chose the topic "Believe in yourself". I did my best to remember all the speech and practiced it over 100 times. With mother's great love, I did well in the competition. I couldn't believe my ears when the news came that I won the first place. I heard the cheers (赞美) from the teachers and students. They all said "Congratulations(祝贺)!” to me.

When I do everything now, I try to tell myself to be confident and I will find myself.

Would you like to go on a festival that is partly cut off from modern life? Do you want to visit a place where people still have a strong sense of local traditions? Let me introduce a festival that will meet your needs. The festival, called Up Helly Aa, is held in the Shetland Islands ,just off the coast of Scotland.

Many years ago, many of the Shetland Islands had days to celebrate the time when winter began to move towards spring. The early festivals had bonfires(篝火) and involved the whole neighborhood. They were quite dangerous. In one festival, barrels of burning tar (焦油 ) were pulled through the streets. Tar is very sticky and burns easily. Often, the barrels turned over as they were pulled along. The tar poured out, still burning, and houses on the street caught fire and burned down!So. in the early 1800s, the festivals were stopped.

But in 1877, Up Helly Aa started again. It was based on the early fire festivals. It is held about the same time every year, on the last Tuesday in January. The people who organized the first Up Helly Aa wanted to remind people that the festival was "traditional". So they used a Viking image(肖像) , which the early festival did not do. A wooden copy of a Viking ship is pulled through the streets and then burned on a huge bonfire. Men pull the ship through the streets with ropes. More men stand in lines on each side of the roads, holding burning sticks. All of them dress up as Vikings.

All the local people come to Up Helly Aa. But people come from all over the world to watch , too. Only local men can make the ship, pull it through the streets or hold the burning sticks. Women can't take part in this part of the festival , not even the local women. Anyone can go to watch, though.

Once the ship has been burned, there are lots of parties that go on all night. The women have been busy getting the parties ready all day. Everyone in the neighborhood , men, women and children, can go to the parties. There is lots of food and drinks. Often people sing and dance until early the next morning. So no one gets much sleep
