参考作文：

It is needless to say that our greatest weakness lies in giving up. On the contrary, the most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

There is a vivid example on me. Never will I forget the great difficulty that I had in learning maths. There was a time when I found it really hard to be skilled in maths. Having failed in maths tests many times, I was on the edge of giving up. Hardly could I stand the bad mood which maths brought to me. Only after I realized that I hadn’t tried hard enough did I attach significance to perseverance. Everyone has the experience of failure, the bitterness of which is simply beyond expression. But the general awareness of the importance of rising every time we fall might be the first step on the way to success. I knew I was on the point of starting over and taking some measures to improve my maths. The fact that I did make progress brought to me the value of insisting on. There is no denying that it was rising when I fell that made a difference.

Taking what has been mentioned above into account, we may arrive at the conclusion that the greatest glory in living is not in never falling ,but in rising every time we fall.

W: Maybe I should sell my car too.

M: You could try. It would save you a lot of money on gas, insurance and repairs. And you would get lots of exercise, too!

W: You’re right. I really need to lose a few pounds. Having a car has made me lazy. I never end up walking anywhere!

M: Let’s go to a car dealership. I’ll help you try to sell your car for a good price.

W: Let’s go!

W: Well done! I enjoyed your story. Now I’d like to share with you a strange experience I had a month ago. It might sound funny, but it is true. After a day’s hard work I went to bed earlier than usual. It was about two o’clock in the morning, and …and suddenly I woke up. I heard a noise. I got out of bed and went slowly downstairs. There was a light in the living room. I listened very carefully. I could hear two men speaking quietly. I believe two burglars had broken into my house and I was really frightened, so I went back upstairs, and immediately phoned the police from my bedroom. The police arrived quickly. They opened the front door with a special key and went into the living room. You can imagine how embarrassed I was when they came upstairs and told me they had turned the television off for me and everything was all right.
