Peter: Hey Yaming! What are you up to
Yaming: Hi Peter. I'm doing calligraphy.
Peter: It's beautiful! What are you writing
Yaming: It’s a poem by Li Bai. My grandmother taught me how to write it.
Peter: What’s this character
Yaming: It’s yue. It means “moon”.
Peter: It’s nice! I like watching you write like that. But it looks difficult.
Yaming: Well, the first step is always the hardest. When I started to do calligraphy, I spent hours practising single strokes.
Peter: I know how that feels! My dad’s teaching me to play the guitar. It’s difficult, but he always encourages me not to give up.
Yaming: Exactly. Now I do calligraphy to relax. I even like how the ink smells! Why did you choose to play the guitar
Peter: I think playing the guitar is cool. Will you teach me to write a poem I can teach you to play a song in return.
Yaming: It’s a deal!

Give an example.
It means that starting something new is often the most difficult part. Once you begin and keep trying, it may become easier and more enjoyable.
I usually feel proud and happy. For example, when I finally learned to ride a bike after many falls, I felt very excited and confident.
Peter: Hey Yaming! What are you up to
Yaming: Hi Peter. I'm doing calligraphy.
Peter: It's beautiful! What are you writing
Yaming: It’s a poem by Li Bai. My grandmother taught me how to write it.
Peter: What’s this character
Yaming: It's yue. It means “moon”.
Peter: It’s nice! I like watching you write like that. But it looks difficult.
