저는 수민이에요. 오늘은 학교에서 운동회가 있어요.

아침에 날씨가 좋아서 기분이 좋았어요. 친구들과 운동장에 모였어요. 선생님께서 달리기, 줄넘기, 공 던지기 경기를 설명했어요.

첫 경기는 달리기였어요. 저는 빨리 달리고 싶었지만 너무 긴장해서 넘쳤어요. 친구들은 웃었지만 저는 조금 부끄러웠어요.

두 번째 줄넘기 경기에서는 천천히 하지만 신중하게 했더니 성공했어요. 친구들이 ``잘했다!''라고 말했어요. 기분이 좋아졌어요.

마지막 경기는 공 던지기였어요. 공은 멀리 날아갔고, 저는 1등을 했어요! 모두가 축하해 주었고, 저는 정말 행복했어요.

운동회가 끝난 후 선생님께서 "열심히 해서 모두 잘했어요. 다음에도 힘내세요!"라고 말씀하셨어요.

저는 내년 운동회도 기대돼요. 오늘은 정말 즐거운 하루였어요.
