I had always watched boats glide smoothly on the lake and dreamed of doing that myself. On the first day, the instructor taught me the basics: how to adjust the sails and keep the boat balanced. At first, I struggled a lot— the boat kept tilting to one side, and I almost fell into the water twice! But I didn’t give up. By the end of the week, I could sail around the lake alone. It was challenging, but the feeling of freedom when the wind filled the sails was incredible. Now, I’m saving up to buy my own small sailboat. ( ) 1.

Just the thought of standing in front of a crowd made my hands shake and my voice crack. Last month, my teacher forced me to join the school speech contest. I practiced every night for two weeks— I memorized my lines, recorded myself speaking, and even asked my family to listen. On the day of the contest, I was so nervous that I wanted to run away. But when I stepped onto the stage and looked at my friends smiling at me, I took a deep breath and started speaking. Surprisingly, once I got into it, I forgot all about my fear. I didn’t win first place, but I received a lot of applause. Now, I feel much more confident and even volunteered to host our class party. ( ) 1. The author was afraid of speaking in public before.

My cousin, who is a musician, gave me his old guitar and promised to teach me. The first few lessons were frustrating— my fingers hurt from pressing the strings, and I couldn’t play even simple chords. I wanted to quit, but my cousin encouraged me to keep going. He told me that everyone struggles at first and that practice makes perfect. So I practiced for 30 minutes every day after school. After three months, I could play my favorite song, "Let It Be" by The Beatles. Now, I’ve been playing for two years and even joined the school band. Playing the guitar has taught me that perseverance is key to achieving my goals. ( ) 1. Who taught the author to play the guitar A. His/her teacher B. His/her cousin C. A professional musician D.
