My mother kept me company and did everything for me. I hated myself so much that I lost confidence in my life. I locked myself alone in the room and felt my world was coming to an end. At midnight, I heard my mother crying on the other side of the door. She said：“Baby, never abandon your hope of life, you can do everything!” Suddenly I felt heartbroken and ashamed.

Eventually all my efforts paid off as I can speak and write English fluently now.Regardless of the difficulties I will strive for my dream and spare no effort to do whatever I can.

With my great efforts I managed to form a band in my junior middle school and achieved my dream.From my own experience, I strongly believe that our success in any field is determined by our dreams.范文4：Hold to Your DreamsEveryone has his dreams, but not all these dreams can come true. People give up their dreams for this or that reason.

In 1898, Marie found a new element in the pitchblende. In order to prove her discovery, she must get it and show it to the world. Then to get the new element became her dream and goal of her life. After four years' hard work and refinement of tons of pitchblende, Marie and her husband at last saw the dim blue light of the new element -- radium. Her dream had come true. There are many other examples. Just around us, for instance, the athleteswho gain the gold medals, the artists who are popular with the public, and even the students who enter the university after years of hard study and preparation, are all dream-holders.Hold fast to your dreams, no matter how big or small they are. The path to dreams may not be smooth and wide, even some sacrifices are needed, but hold on to the end, you will find there is no greater happiness than making your dream come true.3. 心态People in modern society live under a lot of pressure from many aspects such as education, career or family.

After realizing where his problems lied, he changed his attitude. He began to actively involve himself in English classes. He practiced listening and speaking English after class. What’s more, he kept an English diary, which helped him think in English. A year later, he became one of the ten top students in his class.

However he attached special importance to hard work. His famous remark “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety nine percent perspiration” has inspired numerous people.范文1：What makes a great person?

Meanwhile, a great many students make every effort to achieve their dreams, while others always rely on their intelligence and thus think little of the study. Those so-called wise men certainly have more advantages. But can any of them succeed? Perhaps not. Success only belongs to the hard working ones.All in all, a genius is the result of perspiration. Only if we struggle for our goals can we have a brighter future. So bear Edison’s another remark in mind: A genius is often merely a talented person who has done all of his or her homework.范文2：Efforts Lead to SuccessNo one can deny a truth that one has to make great efforts if he wants to be successful in a certain field.

When I looked at the task from a different perspective, it became so light and easy. The party turned out to be a huge success.

I could understand the hardships my parents were bearing at that time. Therefore, I work very hard all the way in the hope of entering the university and changing the situation of my family and me.

We have so many failures and hardships that someone will be disappointed and give up the hope of success, but life is what you make it.范文：Success will be gained after times of failure as long as we are good at drawing lessons from failures or mistakes and stick to what we are doing. That is the message carried in the proverb “failure is the mother of success.”I will take my experience of learning English as an example. When I began to learn English, I was so slow and clumsy that I read the words wrongly from time to time. My poor pronunciation made me laughed at by my classmates. But I didn’t give up. I kept practising reading English aloud every day. And my teacher gave me a helping hand, getting me right whenever I made an error. Finally, I was able to speak fluent English. I even got a chance to take part in the English Speech Contest in our school and won the first prize.In a wor d, as long as we don’t lose heart and keep on trying, we are sure to gothrough failure and achieve our goals.14. 犯错Never be afraid of making mistakes. In fact, making mistakes is making progress.范文：We always make mistakes in our daily life. Since mistakes are unavoidable, we shouldn’t be afraid of them. What we should do is to make good use of mistakes to improve ourselves.I was weak in math when I was in middle school. As I always failed in maths exams, I was anxious about maths. Every time I tried to work out a maths problem, I was afraid of making mistakes, which made me helpless. It was a mercy that I met a nice maths teacher. She told me that I needn’t be afraid of making mistakes and only by making mistakes can I find my shortcomings. "Just try again!" she encouraged me.I was moved and followed her advice. After that, I made rapid progress in maths. As the saying goes, failure is the mother of success. I became aware that we can make progress as long as we learn lessons from the mistakes.In a word, making mistakes is not a horrible thing. With an active attitude, we can make full use of mistakes to achieve self-improvement.15. 耐心范文：Patience is the secret of successAs an old saying goes, “Patience and application will carry us through.” I can’t agree more with it. Indeed, patience plays a very important part in our study and work. With it we can achieve greater success.The above saying reminds me of an experience of mine. Once I waited for the bus at the stop for 30 minutes, no bus came. I couldn’t wait any longer and decided to walk to school. But no sooner had I left than the bus arrived. I thought if I had waited for one more minute, I would have caught it. If I wanted to take the next bus, I would have to wait for another 30 minutes. Only then did I realize the importance of patience.So it is obvious that being impatient will waste all the efforts that we have made. Now, whenever I am to lose my patience, I’ll think of the experience of waiting for a bus. All in all, being patient is the key to success.二、人际交往篇16. 友谊Confucius said, “Is it not delightful to have friends coming from distant quarters?’ In our daily life, everyone needs friends, but how we can get along with friends in harmony to make our friendship last forever?范文1：Friendship is to us what water is to fish.
