When I was young, I loved plastic toy bricks (玩具积木). My 1 and I played with them all the time. One day, we found a notice in a teenage magazine:“ We have received many wonderful works 2 the end of last year. Now, more creative toy brick lovers are welcome!” We were so excited that we decided to build the best model ever and send a 3 to the magazine. We started to work on it at once.We used so many 4 types(类型)of bricks: big ones, small ones, round ones, square ones, red ones, blue ones — every shape and color you can imagine. After a 5 , we finished it.It was amazing and we were so happy. We were about to take a photo of it when our dog rushed in and knocked the model to the floor. It fell into thousands of pieces. Seven days was wasted and our dream ended!
I sat on the floor, crying loudly. My sister, tears (眼泪) in eyes, 6 the dog. Everything seemed to be in a mess. Just then, my parents came back. They were surprised to find 7 two dear daughters in tears and the bricks lying everywhere.
After they learned what had happened,they comforted us. Dad 8 the pieces on the floor and put them back into the box silently.Mom hugged us and said, “Don't be sad. You can start over again 9 you still love playing with toy bricks. Let's make it together!”
A few days later, the new model was completed.It was larger and better. We took a photo of the model and sent the photo to the magazine.To our 10 , we saw the photo in the magazine a month later and we got a prize! How lucky we were!
I will never forget that day because I have realized that there is no end to a dream as long as we are not afraid of starting over again.
