The following text is to answer question no 21 to 23!
Here is my unforgettable experience. One day I joined a story telling contest. Two of my friends

and I had been chosen to take a part in the final round at the district level. I was very happy and

eager to win the competition.
For preparation, I had to memorize and understand the story well. My teacher guided and taught

me pronunciation, facial expression and gestures. One day, before performing, my friends and I
were busy to prepare the props and costumes for the competition. Thing that made me sad was my

teacher rented the props and costumes for my friends but not for me.

My two friends had beautiful costumes and luxurious props. Although I just wore the simple ones,
I performed my best to win the competition. The competition started. I got number 29 and my

friends got number 5 and 10. I was nervous but I showed my best performance on stage. Lots of
people took photos and videos of me.

Finally, anxiety was gone after I had finished performing. And then, the announcement came
which made three of us very uneasy. Luckily I was chosen as the first winner. I went to the stage

and all the judges congratulated me and gave a plaque, trophy, and money. I was very happy.

21. What is the writer’s intention to write the text?
a. To tell his achievement

b. To win the competition.
