Why did Rebecca want to enter this year’s writing
In this age of Internet chat, videogames and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied. Yet, despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition she won last yes.
As a writer I know about winning contest, and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher. I also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories. What if she doesn’t win the contest again？ That’s the strange thing about being a parent. So many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface.
Why did Rebecca want to enter this year’s writing contest？
A) She believed she possessed real talent for writing.
B) She was sure of winning with her mother’s help.
C) She wanted to share her stories with readers.
D) She had won a prize in the previous contest.
