A failed winner
Last week,I participated in the enlish speech contest(finnal) held in my colledge and ranked the second place.It seems that I should be happy with this result.But I didn't get the recognition and praises from my friends or my teachers,because my classmate won the first prize and she really did a good job.She is a very good girl,extrovert,easygoing,kind...she is perfect and Ilike her.But the problem is that I am shaded by her excellence.Thus,though I won the second prize,I am with little pride...

A failed winner
Last week, I participated in the final of my college's english speech contest and finished in second place. It seems that I should be happy with this result, but I am not. I didn't get recognition and praise from my friends or my teachers, because my classmate won first prize and she really did a good job. She is a very good girl. She is extroverted ,easygoing, and kind. I like her a lot, but the problem is that I am shaded by her excellence. Even though I took second place, I am having trouble taking pride in it.

About the other student, I have learned that things are not always as they seem, and those who seem confident may be shy inside. One never knows!
When I was in school, I was on the track team. I always ran my best when there was someone ahead of me, or if I even just imagined that there was. Perhaps that will help you! :-)
