It is natural that difficulties hide in every corner of our life,so we have to face them at times.Whatever we have undergone in our life, we shouldn't complain about it. We may get a lot or lose so much in our life journey, but keeping a positive attitude should always be together with us. Nothing can defeat us if we are confident and diligent. Just as saying goes, God is equal to everyone. As he closes the door, he will also open a window for us.

Many of us have seen a picture on the Internet of a man with a nice smile is struggling along with the aid of a stick because of losing one of his feet,and another man is sitting on the ground without shoes on his feet,looking anxious and depressed.How different the expressions flitting across their faces are!At the bottom of the drawing says”Because I have no shoes,I keep complaining until I find another man who has lost one of his feet.”

What an impressive drawing it is in revealing different attitudes toward life!A person's attitude towards life is very important, it determines your life, which path you are taking and how your life will become. if you are a person with very strong positive outlook, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you will always look at the bright side of life and never give up easily. Take Thomas Edison as an example.Before inventing the electric bulb,he had tried thousands of materials for lamp filament,but failed.Despite others’ laughing at him.he said,”I am not a failure,at least I have proved these materials are not fit for filament.”Before long he invented electric bulb.

The most frequent example you see are those patients or people that are handicapped or suffering from some type of illness like cancer. They do not give up any glimpse of hope and continue fighting till they their last breathe. Even those very determined handicapped,they do not blame the world for their disable. Instead, they are contented and blessed with all the rest the have, their family , friends and those who support them greatly. Those handicapped with negative attitude towards life will feel that the world is unfair and they life in misery and always feel that they are unless and unwanted.

All in all,it is our attitudes that have changed everything in our life and help us to pull through all hardships.So we should strive to develop a positive attitude toward life and the world.It is convinced that only when we are equipped with optimism and confidence can we achieve success in the future.

学习初中英语要抓住课堂认真听老师讲课，大胆积极地练习说英语;自主开发更多的学习资源，多听、多说、多写;通过读和背，我们才能获得最多的实践量，积累语感。

首先，要抓住课堂这一学习的主要阵地。

英语课上，老师是用英语组织课堂的，认真听老师讲课，本身就是学习英语，听老师讲课时，还要记好重点内容，以便将来查用。英语课上，老师会设置一些情景和活动，给同学们练习使用英语的机会。要抓紧时间，大胆积极地练习说英语，通过实践掌握英语的表达方式。

其次，自主开发更多的学习资源。

现在有关英语学习的音像资料应有尽有，如英文之声、英文电影、英语电视节目等等。同学们应该积极使用这些资源，做学习的有心人。

除了积累有效的记忆方法，还要有效培养英语语感。

培养语感的方法很多，听、读、背是最好的方法。我们只要想想流行歌曲就会明白听的重要性了。古人云：“读书破万卷，下笔如有神。”学习英语也一样。只有通过读和背，我们才能获得最多的实践量，积累语感。希望大家能够轻松、快乐地学好英语。
