I kept practising speaking , listening , reading and writing , optimistically holding the view that things would turn for the better. Setbacks as I went through all the way , I did make great progress . An optimist may be a slow walker but never will he walk backwards ,because of which , he will be a winner at length. In the eyes of an optimist , challenge and disappointment serve as milestones instead of barriers to success. 版权所有：高考资源网()
