One Saturday morning, I was watching TV in the living room with two brothers. My mum _______ several apples of different colors and sizes. She put all the apples on the table, then _______ me and my younger brothers, “Which do you like?” All my younger brothers and I wanted the biggest one. _______ I could say “The biggest one”, one of my brothers stood up and said what I wanted to say.

My mum _______ the biggest apple and said to us, “It is good to get the biggest apple. Many people want the best thing, but few really get it. Now let’s start a _______. Look at the lawn(草坪) in front of our house. I’ll divide(划分) it into three parts. Each of you must finish pruning(修剪) _______ own share. The best and quickest one will get the biggest apple.” I won the apple finally.

Since then, I have learned to try my best to succeed whenever I get a chance. I work _______ to get what I want. That was what my mother _______ me to do. I feel very thankful to my mum because she taught me a very basic but the most ________ lesson. It is quite fair that we can get what we want by competing. My mother kept teaching us in this way and we followed her advice all the time.

I do believe that mother is the first teacher of children, who can teach them to be a No. 1 pursing(有追求的) person.
