Learning to Play the Piano（我学弹钢琴）

     When I was a child, I was fascinated by the melody of piano on the screen. At that time, I dreamed of being a pianist and having my own piano.
     At the age of five, my father bought me a beautiful piano as my birthday present with the money they had saved for a long time. At the same time, my father found a piano teacher for me and every day I would practise it again and again as my father demanded. Before long, my interest in piano was transferred to other things. I began to escape the practice as much as I could. My father found out my impatience. He encouraged me and was stricter with me than ever before. With his help,  I underwent the hardest time and devoted myself to the piano.
      Now, in my spare time after a long time of study and hard work, I always play the piano and enjoy the beautiful music.

    孩提时代，我总被电视上钢琴的优美旋律所吸引。那时，我就梦想有一架自己的钢琴，成为一名钢琴师。
    6岁的时候，爸爸用他积攒了很久的钱为我买了一架很漂亮的钢琴，作为我的生日礼物。为此，爸爸还为我请了钢琴老师。每天，我都按爸爸的要求不停地练习。没过多久，我对钢琴的兴趣就越来越淡了，我开始尽可能逃避练琴。爸爸发现了我的厌琴情绪，鼓励我坚持下去，对我的要求也比以前更严了。在爸爸的帮助下，我度过了最难熬的一段日子，并全身心投入到练琴中。
    今天，学习和工作之余，我就弹起钢琴来，享受那美妙的音乐。

      My dream came true. My father bought me a beautiful piano as my present on my fifth birthday. It cost them all the money they had saved for a long time. My father found a piano teacher for me and every day I would practise it again and again as my father demanded. Before long, my interest in piano was transferred to other things. I began to escape the practice as much as I could. It was my father that encouraged me and accompanied me at that time. With his help, I underwent the hardest time and devoted myself to the piano at last.
     At present in my spare time when I finish my work or when I have a break in my work, I always play the piano and enjoy the beautiful melody.

    我的梦想变成了事实。五岁生日那天，父亲用他积攒了很久的钱为我买了一架很漂亮的钢琴，作为我的生日礼物。为此，爸爸还为我请了钢琴老师。每天，我都按爸爸的要求不停地练习。没过多久，我对钢琴的兴趣就越来越淡了，我开始尽可能逃避练琴。是父亲及时鼓励我，陪伴我。最后我度过了最难熬的一段时间，全身心投入到练琴中。
    如今，学习之余，工作间歇，我总爱弹琴，享受那美妙的旋律。
