It was the most memorable day in my life. I woke up at 4 a.m. The sky was dark and it was raining. I didn’t want to go out of my bed but I had to do it. A few minutes later I was sitting in the car with my mum and dad. The way wasn’t near and we had to hurry.After several hours of uncomfortable and tiresome journey we arrived in Ulyanovsk. There was a big dancing competition that day and my partner and I came to that beautiful city in order to participate in dancing contest. By that moment I had been dancing for five years, but to be honest, I had never believed in my strength and I had never successfully taken place in competitions.Before the beginning I put on my incredible costume decorated with shining details. It was the thing I was proud of more than anything else in my dancing career. And at last the moment of going to the parquet came. I was very scared and my legs were shaking while my partner was calm. We started dancing and I felt that all my worry went away. Our movements were clear and until the last fifth dancing everything was OK. But during the jive one girl pushed me with aggression. If my partner hadn’t held me I would have fallen. I got upset because was sure that judges noticed that accident.Finally there was a rewarding. My position was indifferent because I knew that the last place would be mine. I was surprised when the chief announced the seventh, sixth, fifth, fourth place and we still standing without moving. Suddenly the chief said names of my partner and me. I couldn’t believe my feelings. We took the third place! Of course, it wasn’t the first place, but I was so happy that it wasn’t important for me. We stood on the pedestal and were given two wonderful medals and a big number of lovely gifts. It was the most memorable and brightest day in my life because I learned to believe in myself.

  Это был самый незабываемый день в моей жизни. Я проснулась в четыре часа утра. Небо было темным, и шёл дождь. Я не хотела вставать из своей постели, но должна была это сделать. Спустя несколько минут я сидела в машине с мамой и папой. Путь был неблизким, и нам нужно было торопиться.После нескольких часов некомфортного и утомительного путешествия мы прибыли в Ульяновск. Там проходил большой танцевальный конкурс, и мы с моим партнёром приехали в этот прекрасный город, чтобы участвовать в танцевальном состязании. К тому моменту я занималась танцами пять лет, но, честно говоря, никогда не верила в свои силы и не занимала никаких мест на соревнованиях.Перед началом конкурса я надела мой потрясающий костюм, украшенный стразами. Это была вещь, которой я гордилась больше всего в моей танцевальной карьере. И наконец, момент выхода на паркет настал. Я была очень напугана, мои ноги тряслись, в то время как мой партнёр был спокоен. Мы начали танцевать, и я почувствовала, что моя тревога ушла. Наши движения были точными, и до последнего пятого танца всё было хорошо. Но во время джайва одна девочка толкнула меня с явной агрессией. Если бы мой партнёр не держал меня, я бы упала. Я расстроилась, потому что была уверена, что судьи заметили этот инцидент.В конце концов, настало награждение. Мне всё было безразлично, потому что я знала, что последнее место будет моим. Я была очень удивлена, когда ведущий объявил седьмое, шестое, пятое, четвёртое места, а мы всё ещё стояли на месте. Вдруг ведущий назвал наши имена. Я не могла поверить своим чувствам. Мы заняли третье место! Конечно, это было не первое место, но я была так счастлива, что этобыло не важно. Мы встали на пьедестал, и нам дали две чудесные медали и много прелестных подарков. Это был самый памятный и яркий день в моей жизни, потому что я научилась верить в себя.
