I have been in love with China since 2010.

After one year in Zhejiang University, I got a great       — to work as an assistant manager in a big hotel. The best part of this job was that I was the only      , so I got a good chance to understand Chinese culture and practice my      .

Actually, I have got       I supposed to. I have got valuable experience, devoted friends and the feeling that I am not laowai anymore.

 Guests were pleasantly surprised to see me there, because I was an interpreter, trip adviser, and       guide at the same time, which made their life much      . I met people from all over the world, who came to China for the first time,       who knew China better than me.       my Chinese colleagues, who had answers to all the questions about      , I could explain why you should       before you buy, why Chinese don’t let guests       dinner, why it is not common to book a taxi and why it is better to catch       on the street. I also had chances to       the development of China.

The waiters and managers were not only my teachers, but       my friends. If I needed help, they were       to help me. I enjoyed our small conversations       they were kind and educated. I was very proud and happy of the fact that all of them       me and I don’t feel     anymore.

 The best part of my job was to see people coming       the hotel. When they recognized me, they       share their adventures, burdens, even thoughts with me. It means the world to me.

 I spent there 8 months and it was a period when I was proud to be who I am.

Last year, my boyfriend suggested that I should run the London marathon(马拉松), and I laughed. He laughed too, but he laughed too long and too loud. That made me think. I realized that he didn't believe that I could do it. That made me angry, and determined, Now he knows that I can!

Training wasn't easy, but I kept going. I didn't need special training but I did need to buy very good shoes. Each day, I went a little further. By the end of three months, I was running five days a week. Some- times in the evenings I ran 10 km; on Sunday mornings, I sometimes ran about 30 kin. I used to come home, have a shower and eat my breakfast. I felt wonderful!

On the day of the race in London, I lined up with about 30,000 other runners. The faster runners were at the front, while slower runners like me were placed further back. In that way, the professional runners and club runners were not slowed down by the amateurs(业余爱好者).

At first, there were so many runners close together that we were almost falling over each other.  We could only run very slowly but that was a good thing because it meant that we didn't rush off too quickly. Gradually the runners spread out and there was more space. There were thousands of people watching us along the route and they cheered and clapped everyone, even the slowest runner. It was wonderful!

For the first 10 km I felt very happy and my legs felt very comfortable. However, at 15 km I got a pain in my side and running became difficult, but I kept going and the pain disappeared. At the 30 km mark, I felt extremely tired, and wanted to stop, but I kept on going. I covered another 3 km and then I began to feel better again.

By the time I reached the 35 km mark, I knew I was going to get to the end of the course. Somehow that confidence made me feel lighter and faster and it seemed as if my legs flew over the last few kilometers. I passed hundreds of slower runners, some of whom had passed me earlier, and I felt wonderful! AS I came round the last bend(弯道)and saw the finishing line, I could see three runners ahead of me. I raced past all of them to finish the race in just under four hours. The winner had completed the race in 2 hours and 10 minutes, but I didn't care! I had run 42 km and completed my first marathon!
