17、so many girls are rid of an education.Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughtersbecause they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to thefamily:girls grow up only to marry into somebody else，s family and bearchildren.Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys

36、ords of determination.A person whobelieves in himself will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how manytimes he fails.In my opinion,the quality of determination to succeedis an important one to have.Therefore,I believe that we should nevergive up.One reason is that if we give up too easily,we wi
37、ll rarely achieveanything.It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt atsomething new,so we should not feel disappointed and should try again.Besides,if we always give up when we fail,we will not be able to developnew skills and grow.Another reason we should never give up is that we can le
38、arn from ourmistakes so that we can not make the same ones.If we do not try again,the lesson we have learned is wasted.Finally,we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals,we develop confidence,and this confidence can help us succeed in otherareas of our lives.If we never challenge
39、ourselves,we will begin todoubt our abilities.In short,it is important that we do not give up when working for ourgoals.Whether we succeed in the end or not,we will learn something,and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident.Furthermore,if we give up,we have no chance of attai
40、ning our goalsany more,but if we keep making great efforts,there is always a chancethat we will succeed one day.Topic:Never Give UpPossiblemeanings and theauthorJ s opinions叁 The words“Never give up canl_others or oneself and express one s determination.爱 A person who wants to 2_ should havethe qual

44、”.I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problemswith spoken English.First,they fail to find suitable words to express themselves dueto a limited vocabulary.Obviously the better answer is to expand theirvocabulary.However,you can speak with a limited vocabulary,if yourattit
45、ude is positive.Others will follow you as long as you use the wordsthat you know.Second,they are afraid of making mistakes.Sometimes they makemistakes when they are speaking,because they are shy and nervous.Yetstudents should remember that their goal should be fluency not accuracy.Your aim in writin
46、g is to be accurate following the rules for grammarand using tenses to get your message across.But to talk to someone inEnglish,as quickly and well as you can,even though sometimes you mayuse a wrong word of tense,but it doesn,t matter because the person youare speaking to will understand you.The th
47、ird reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening,you have one mouth but two ears!All that hearing is necessary for youto start speaking.Fourth,most Chinese students are reactive rather than pro-activelanguage learners.Instead of actively seeking out opportunities toimprove their spoken E
48、nglish,they passively wait for speakingopportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remainspoor.If you have this pro-active outlook,then,you will see Englishopportunities wherever you go.If you don t use your English beyond the classroom you will forgetth at English you know.Rem
