老人们总是说骄傲会使人落后。我相信他们得出这样的结论一定有自己的理由，因为我有过这样的经历。

The old people always say pride will make a person lag behind. They make a conclusion of it must have their reason and I believe it, because I have such experience. Last semester, I did well in the final exam. My teacher spoke highly of me and my parents felt so proud. Since then, I gained great confidence and felt satisfied. When the new semester began, I no longer studied very hard, because I was the top student. I felt frustrated soon, because I lag much behind in the latest test. I realized my problem and decided to focus on study. Now I was back in the top list and I kept studying hard all the time. 
老人们总是说骄傲会使人落后。我相信他们得出这样的结论一定有自己的理由，因为我有过这样的经历。上学期，我在期末考试考得很好，我的老师高度表扬了我，我的父母为我感到骄傲。从那时起，我获得了极大的信心，对自己很满意。在新学期开始的时候，我不再那么刻苦学习，因为我觉得自己是优等生。我很快就感到沮丧了，因为在最近的测试中我远落后于别人。我意识到我的问题，决定专注学习。现在我又回到了尖子生行列，我会一直努力学习的。
