When I was still a little girl, I had an interesting toy called “bamboo dragonfly”.In fact, it was not a real bamboo dragonfly. It just looks like a dragonfly when it stayed in the air. I remember when I was in primary school, it was quite popular among students to play the bamboo dragonfly. Almost every child had one in hand. I envied the kids who had the bamboo dragonfly so I also bought one by saving my pocket money（零花钱）. Actually, it was not easy to get the bamboo dragonfly fly, especially to let it stay in the air for a long time. To make it fly and stay in the air, I had to scrub the toy and after letting go of it, it would fly in the air for a while. The time it stays in the air depend on the strength the player use and also the angle, which means that one need to get more practice to make it stay longer in the air. So at that time, I oftencompeted with my classmates. In order to be the best, I spent all of my spare time on practicing. No matter at school or at home, I always took the toy withme. After practicing for days, I finally became the best in playing the bamboo dragonfly in my class and many classmates came to me for instruction. The bamboo dragonfly was something that I could be proud of at that time, so it really meant a lot to me.
