"How hard could this be？" I thought before I took part in this year's Hot Chili Pepper（辣椒）Eating Contest（比賽）at the Hot and Spicy Festival. "I have won the contest two times before.I can win for a third time!"
Each year，the contest happens three times on a spring weekend in Beijing.On Friday night，there were teams of two people each：one man，and one woman.If one person on a team gave up，then both would lose.Knowing this，I invited my friend Jennifer to be my teammate because she won last year's contest.
In this contest，the peppers of each round are spicier（辣的）than the last.The first several rounds were fine enough，just like chewing（咀嚼）on vegetables.But then things got difficult.The last round really got to me.When I got to the Yunnan Ghost Pepper，it felt like a fighter jet was blasting（噴射）fire into my face.
Jennifer saw how much trouble I was in，so she told me， "Don't give up，Patrick!You can do it!"
These words really helped me.We finished all of our peppers and the other team left standing finally quit（退出）.Then，we won!
My stomach later，however，was not so lucky.But that's a story for another time.

1．I got angry quite easily and was not good at communicating with others.Slowly，most of the people around me tried to keep away from me.
One day，as I was getting ready for school，my busy mother handed me a vest（背心）.When I saw it，I knew that was my father's—I was taller and stronger than my father.So as I put on the vest，I felt as if I wasn't able to breathe!The feeling of anger was rising in my heart.My mother said sorry with a smile，but I was so angry that I let out a shout.Soon，I pulled the vest off my chest（胸口）—so wildly that I made a hole in it.Then I put on my own vest and rushed out before she could stop me.
Later，my mother shared these with my father.Instead of saying he would scold（訓斥） me，my father just asked my mother to mend（縫補） the vest.Then he wore it to work as usual.
When my mother told me about my father's action，I sat alone and thought a lot .Just imagining that he was wearing that broken vest in his office the whole day made me feel so terrible.But I had to say，my father did set a great example for me.That night I thought a lot.I promised myself that I would never let anger control my mind any longer.
Of course，there are times when I get angry.However，whenever that happens，I will try to remember my father's vest.
