Last August, my neighborhood held an Independence Day celebration at the community field. The celebration started on Sunday morning with several competitions for children. I came with my younger brother because he wanted to join the cracker-eating race. Before the competition started, we watched the opening ceremony with our neighbors.
When the cracker-eating race began, my brother stood among ten other children. The crackers were hanging from strings, and the participants had to eat them without using their hands. My brother moved his head carefully toward the cracker. He was slower than some other children, but he continued until he finished his cracker. After that, the children joined a sack race.
In the afternoon, the adults played a volleyball match. My father was one of the players. His team lost the first set but won the next two sets. Before we went home, the committee announced the winners and gave them prizes. I felt happy because the celebration brought many people in our neighborhood together.

Two weeks ago, my school organized an Independence Day celebration. Each class could send students to join several competitions. I decided to participate in the marble-and-spoon race because I wanted to try something different. Before the race, our teacher explained the rules and asked us to stand behind the starting line.
When the race started, I walked carefully while balancing a marble on a spoon. My friend Arif moved faster than me. Unfortunately, his marble fell near the middle of the track, so he had to stop and pick it up. I continued walking at a steady pace. Near the finish line, another participant passed me, but I managed to finish third.
After the race, Arif and I bought drinks at the school canteen. We talked about our experience and laughed about our mistakes. Although I did not get the first prize, I was glad that I had completed the race. I also learned that being careful was important in a competition that required balance.

A) He dropped his marble and stopped to pick it up.
B) He changed the spoon after reaching the middle of the track.
