with the rhythm of right hand first and then left hand. After I was good at both hands separately, I could play with both of them. Gradually, I can play the piano very well. Sample answer 2
I’ve never learned to play any kind of musical instruments. Given a chance, I would like to learn the pipa. Because pipa makes various beautiful, sweet and refreshing sounds. Now more and more people tend to learn western-style musical instruments, and pipa, as one of traditional Chinese musical instruments, is getting less popular these days. I think if I could learn to play the pipa, I might, to some extent, be preserving Chinese culture.

When Gilbert Arenas entered the NBA, for the first 40 games of his career he sat on the bench. They said he was going to play zero minutes. But Gilbert Arenas believed he was a talented basketball player and that they didn’t see the talent he had. Instead of sitting there being bitter, Gilbert Arenas kept on practicing. Every day he competed intensely in one-on-one or organized team matches, and didn’t go home until late at night. For him, it wasn’t even about basketball any more, it was about proving them wrong.
