My teacher gave me an assignment "experience life" last week. I had been thinking how to finish it because I had never done any thing by myself before.
Mother was out today. It was a good chance to complete the assignment. Seeing the barrel was empty, I decided to fetch water from the well.
I took the empty barrel and went towards the well outside the yard. It snowed yesterday, so the alley was very slippery. A layer of thickice was frozen on the platform of the well. I was frightened by the sight, but I gathered my courage to walk towards it. I stepped on the platform carefully. After standing steadily and squatting down slowly, I hooked the barrel at the end of the rope and put the rope down slowly.
I made an effort to drag the barrel up after it was filled with water. I was very careful because it was easy to slip and fall. Then, I carried the barrel of water and returned to my house. My figners were frozen stiff. The alley was so slippery that I walked with difficultly. Suddenly, I slipped and fell down, water in the barrel totally poured down on the ground. I realized my effort was in vain. I hated myself.
I failed to finish the assignment but I did experience life through a trifle which seemed easy but difficult to do well. Such was my first experience of life.

上周老師給我布置了一個“體驗生活”的作業(yè)。我一直考慮怎么完成，因為以前我從未單獨做過什么事。
媽媽今天不在家，這是一個完成作業(yè)的`好機會。看到水桶是空的，我就決定去井邊打水。
我拎起空桶向院外的水井走去。昨天剛剛下過雪，小路非常滑，井臺上還凍了厚厚的一層冰。我被這種景象嚇住了，但還是鼓足勇氣向井邊走去，小心翼翼地走上井臺，站穩(wěn)了，慢慢蹲下后，我把水桶掛在繩子一端的鉤子上，然后慢慢地放下去，水灌滿后我用勁把桶拽了上來。我非常小心，因為隨時都有滑倒的可能。我拎著水桶往家里走。我的手指已經(jīng)凍僵了，小徑是如此滑，我艱難地向前走著。突然，我滑了一下，摔倒了，桶里的水全潑在地上。我意識到我的努力全白廢了，我好恨自己啊!
我沒有完成這次作業(yè)，但我的確通過一件看似簡單、卻難做好的小事體驗到了生活。這就是我第一次體驗生活的經(jīng)過。
