Answer 1

Optimism plays an important role in all aspects of one’s life. If you can change yourself from a pessimist to an optimist, you are sure to change your fate.
Until the beginning of Senior Grade Two, I did poorly in English, but I was unwilling to give up struggling because I was always encouraged by both the people around me and myself. I kept practicing speaking, listening, reading and writing. When I was fed up with listening, I usually entertained myself by reading some interesting English stories and jokes or seeing English films. When I had trouble getting words flowing on paper, I turned to word games or English songs. Whatever setback I encountered, I welcomed it and was always able to make myself cheerful and optimistic, dreaming about a splendid future and believing that hard work would eventually pay off. Gradually, I made progress beyond belief in my English.
Thanks to optimism, I have become one of the top English learners in my class now.
