Question

讀寫任務。
     閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
     Michael is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone asks
him how he is doing, he will reply，“If I were any better, I'd be twins！”
     His style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Michael and asked him，“I don't get it.
You can't be positive all the time. How do you do it？”
      Michael replied，“Each morning I wake up and say to myself, ‘Mike, you can choose to be in a
good mood or in a bad mood.’ I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I
choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I choose to point out the positive
side of life.”
     Then Michael added，“Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is
a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You
choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line is: It's your choice how you live your life.”I
reflected on what Michael said. And I learn from him that every day we can choose to live fully. Attitude
is everything.

Answer 1

One possible version:
                                                           Attitude is everything
      The passage mainly tells us that Michael's life style is always positive, so he is always cheerful. He
says whether one is in a good mood or in a bad one depends on one's choice. It's attitude that really
matters.
     Attitude is very important to deal with the difficulties in our life. The passage reminds me of a similar
experience. When I was in junior school, I used to be poor in expressing myself clearly. As a result,
many people looked down on me and I had very few friends. It seemed that I was really hopeless.
However, I believed that hard work could change everything. So, I tried to tell myself I could do it.
Every day I practiced reading aloud and tried to seize every chance to talk with others. Finally, I made
great progress. Now I can speak as fluently as anybody around me. If I hadn't carried on, I wouldn't
have done so well now.
     I think it was my positive attitude that changed everything.  Attitude is everything.
