Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on Failure Is Not a Bad Thing according to the Chinese outline, and you must use at least 120 words. 86

3. 对待失败的正确心态 86 Sample： 86

Failure Is Not a Bad Thing 86

As the saying goes, failure is the mother of success. It happens everyday and sometimes we fear of it; thus it is regarded as a bad thing, but it is not so discouraging. 86

A famous example is Thomas A. Edison’s invention of light bulb. After experimenting on over a thousand different materials and failing so many times, he finally found the most suitable material. When asked about his failures, Addison said, “At least I found a thousand or so materials that were not appropriate for bulb.” 87

People like Edison will draw a lesson from their failures and face every new failure bravely. Thus they can really benefit from these experiences and finally achieve success. Nevertheless, not all shares the same attitude towards failure as Edison. Some people tend to have a low opinion of them after they get a failure. Their confidence, courage and self-worth are likely to be hurt; consequently they choose to ignore failures. Other people are likely to lay blame on others for their failures but not learn from it; as a result they will still fail next time. 87

So in a word, failure is not necessarily a bad thing, once one adopts a right attitude toward it, failure sometimes can teach us a lot more than success. 87 3-RF 88
