"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.
