英文作文
提示：有句話說：「樂觀的人發明飛機，悲觀的人發明降落傘」，這句話要表達的跟飛機與降落傘其實無關，而是你要抱持怎樣的態度去面對事情，是要積極處理還是消極逃避？請寫一篇作文，描述你是用樂觀或悲觀的態度去面對事情，而這樣的態度帶給你什麼好/壞處，並舉例說明。文分兩段，第一段以I tend to look on the bright/dark side of life.開頭並發展之，第二段以There
are many advantages/disadvantages of adopting an optimistic/pessimistic
attitude.當主題句並發展之。
範例一
I tend to look on the bright side
of life. For example, I always think the best of people. I assume they are
trying their best, and if they do something wrong, it’s by mistake. I also
believe that they will keep any promises they make to me. Another way in which
I’m optimistic is that I always expect things to turn out well. Therefore, I
think I’m going to pass my tests and generally get what I want as long as I put
the effort in.
There are many advantages of
adopting an optimistic attitude. For one thing, I believe people with a
positive outlook are more likely to get along with others and enjoy good
interpersonal relationships. Another benefit of being positive is that even
when things go wrong, I’m always confident that they will turn around in the
end. Because of this, I strive to achieve my goals and never let small setbacks
hinder my determination.
範例二
I tend to look on the dark side
of life. According to my past experiences, things will eventually fail no
matter how cautious I am. Therefore, I find that if I always expect the worst,
I’ll never be disappointed. What’s more, I don’t trust people easily. I’ve been let down by many people
in my life, so I’ve learned not to expect too much of others.
There are many disadvantages of
adopting a pessimistic attitude, though. One of the most obvious ones is that I
don’t have many friends. People don’t like being in my company because of my
negative outlook on life. They say I’m a mood killer and that I make everyone
feel depressed. Another disadvantage is that I have difficulty motivating
myself. It’s difficult to want to try hard when I know I’m only going to fail anyway.
However, I know I need to change my perspective, or I won’t accomplish anything
during my lifetime.
