Lots of people were asking me the same question—How did a 22-year-old woman row(划)a 19-foot boat for 70 days? Well, when I was on the sea alone, the biggest difficulty was the feeling of being lonely.

I started on January 3,2010.More than half the people who tried sailing alone often gave up in the first two weeks, so I decided to finish one-fourth of the sailing first, which took about 20 days.

Day 20th,January 22 came! I said to myself that I should  be happy.  But I was feeling so bad. It seemed to be the hardest day for me. I didn’t see land for over two weeks. Every day I did the same—rowing, eating, sleeping, watching the sky and the ocean...

Suddenly I saw something breaking through the water near my boat. They were dolphins. They circled my boat and were close enough for me to touch. So I did! Suddenly I felt so moved, they came to say “Hello”, just when I needed it most. I was no longer lonely, believing that I would succeed.

And I made it! All 2,817 miles I got to the coast on March 14,after 70 days and five hours at sea. So the secret of my success is the moment with those dolphins.

Last year, I bought a flower pot(盆). But I didn’t use it. Last week, I went to buy some flower seeds(种子). I planted the seeds in the flower pot. For a few days, nothing  1  (happen). But I went on  2  (water) the seeds. On the   3  (ten) day, I saw green sprouts (嫩芽). I was so 4  (exciting). I knew that I could make something grow!

5  (Grow) flowers is like growing happiness. Our lives are sometimes like the empty pots. Our days are  6  (fill) with lots of different things. However, we usually don’t do a lot of things just because they are of little  7  (important). We feel that something is missing.The missing things in my flower pot were seeds. The things that we may be missing in life are seeds of hope, love and dreams.

I planted many different flower seeds that day, because I know that the things produced are exactly what I have planted. This is the same as  8 (plant) things in life. Everything that is planted  inside my heart will grow. If I plant negative (消极的) thoughts inside my heart, I will only become sadder and  9 (sad) with each passing day. If I plant seeds of hope, I can expect 10 (wonder) things.
