题目内容
As a child,one of my favorite things to do was to go to the river and sit on the bank. There I would enjoy the peace and quiet. Watching the river, listening to the chirps(鸟鸣 )of the birds and the sound of moving leaves in the tress relaxed me after a hard day at school.
I noticed that the bamboo trees would bend(弯曲) in the wind. However, after the wind had died down they would stand up again.
When I think about the bamboo tree’s ability. the word “resilience” comes to mind. This word means the ability to overcome shock, low spirits and other difficult situations quickly.
Have you ever felt like you are about to break suddenly? Have you ever felt like you are at your breaking point? Thankfully, you have survived(幸免) such an experience.
During the experience you probably had mixed emotions(情感). You felt very tired.
Life is a mixture of good times and bad things, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are having a bad time or unhappy moment, bend but don’t break. Try your hardest not to let the situation take control of you.
Hope will get you through the unhappy times. With hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem to be.
If life gets hard and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo tree, bend, but don’t break!
