Answer 1

Optimism is important in all aspects of our life.If you can change your mind from pessimism，you can change your life.
Up to the beginning of Senior Grade Two，I did poorly in my English but I didn’t give in 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 reading or writing，I usually entertained myself by reading some interesting English stories，jokes and humors or seeing English films.When I had some trouble in reciting or memorizing，I tried to amuse myself by playing word games or singing English songs.By this means，I always made myself cheerful and optimistic，full of splendid and colorful dreams of future.I kept practicing.Gradually，I made progress in my English.
Thanks to the optimism，I have become one of the top students in my class by now.
